O estudo desenvolvido teve como objectivo verificar se hĂĄ propriedades temporais e aspectuais inerentes Ă s sequĂȘncias descritivas. Pretendeu-se determinar se, nas sequĂȘncias descritivas, ocorre predominantemente um dado tempo verbal, ou se as situaçÔes referidas se integram predominantemente numa determinada classe aspectual, ou se se observa uma elevada taxa de ocorrĂȘncia de adverbiais temporais, ou, ainda, se prevalece uma dada relação discursiva entre os enunciados. A hipĂłtese de trabalho subjacente ao trabalho foi a seguinte: nas sequĂȘncias descritivas, predominam as situaçÔes da classe dos estados e a relação temporal de sobreposição entre essas situaçÔes estativas.
Os resultados obtidos confirmam que as propriedades temporais e aspectuais prototĂpicas das sequĂȘncias descritivas devem ser procuradas a nĂvel das classes aspectuais em que se inserem as situaçÔes referidas e das relaçÔes temporais entre essas situaçÔes.
The goal of my investigation is to establish the existence of temporal and aspectual properties which are prototypical of the descriptive sequences. I intend to answer the following questions: is there a tense (present tense, for instance) which prevails in all descriptive sequences? Are these sequences characterized by the occurrence of a specific aspectual class (like states)? What about time adverbials? Do they occur in a significant number (like it happens mostly in narrative sequences)? Is there a discourse relation which prevails in these types of textual sequences? The results of this investigation suggest the following hypothesis, which I will try to confirm in my next studies: the prototypical temporal and aspectual properties of the descriptive sequences must be seeked at the aspectual classes level and at the time relations level (and not at the tense level, or at the time adverbs level, or even at the discourse relations level). Descriptive sequences are mainly characterized by the occurrence of states and by the overlapping relation between these stative situations. In association with other studies â see Silva (2002) and Silva (2005a) â, it arises the ideia that, so far as temporal and aspectual properties are concerned, there is a continuum between two poles: the narrative sequence pole (which is mainly characterized by the occurrence of events and the temporal relation of sequenciality between those events) and the descriptive sequence pole (which is mainly characterized by the occurrence of states and the temporal relation of overlapping between those states).
