Notes
- 1.
I use this metaphor to express the basic informational function of this element. Complain is a verb of communicative action, or verbum dicendi, and what I call here the “motive” is probably the Content of the message.
- 2.
This applies more rigorously to the Portuguese verb morar; English live has a wider semantic value, including ‘be alive’.
- 3.
It would be significant to find that core elements are always necessarily overt—but this statement does not make sense if “core” is defined using conditions on overt occurrence. Incidentally, the statement is not true: core elements can be omitted in many cases (e.g., the girl is reading), and there are cases in which peripheral information must be present (see examples in Sect. 1.7.2.2).
- 4.
We will study in Chap. 7 the interplay of transparency with prototypicity, stated by linking rules.
- 5.
This situation is reflected in English with think in I think of you sometimes, as against I think about you sometimes, where the preposition is prototypically a Content marker. In Portuguese, the Content marker is sobre, unambiguously ‘about’ (the locative reading of sobre ‘on’ is archaic in Brazilian Portuguese).
- 6.
In English last week is not properly an NP, for it lacks a determiner. In Portuguese, a semana passada has the internal structure of a normal NP; but we also find semana passada, without the article, used only as a marker of “time” (Bolinger 1992, studied these “adverbial NPs” in English and Spanish).
- 7.
Faulhaber’s position is in this point analogous with that of G. Gross and Blanche-Benveniste, criticized in Sect. 4.4.4.2.
- 8.
That is, in one example out of 38 sentences.
- 9.
That is, when it is possible to define a group of CSRs whose higher percentages differ in less than 20 % among them, and in more than 50 % from the set of the lower percentages.
