Investigação Preliminar Sobre a Prosódia Semântica de Verbos de Elocução: o Caso do Verbo “Confessar”
Abstract
The following article presents a preliminary study based on corpora about the semantic prosody of discendi verbs in Brazilian Portuguese. Thos study was based on a glossary of discendi verbs in Portuguese built by Freitas (2016) and on Ebeling’s research (2014) about the semantic prosody of verb phrases. At first, the verb “confessar” was selected from the glossary in order to test a possible methodology. Based on the results generated by this methodology, we were able to identify the semantic prosody of “confessor” and identify gaps and obstacles for possible unfoldings for this study.
