Tempo e aspecto verbais e a construção dos sentidos do texto Favola, de Eros Ramazzotti

Abstract

In this work, based on fundamentals of Semiotics Discursive and arguments about Tense and Aspect, we analyze how the semantic nuances of these categories participate in the construction of the meanings of the text Favola, by Eros Ramazzotti. By the implicit moral, we perceive that the text in analysis ponders on what is happiness and life. Recurrent element and activator of meanings, the time, with all its varied nuances, is treated in a very special way. Using the forms of passato remoto, the narrator inserts, chronologically, in his narrative the situations lived by a subject, with the purpose of sequencing them and presenting them as events happened and true, regardless of the duration of each one. Using the forms of the imperfetto and the presente, the narrator appropriates the most expressive resource for its scope: to create the effects of eternity. In fact, the imperfective Aspect, updated by the forms of these Verbal Tense, presents in the text the flow of events through chronological time; The situations are thus captured in full happening and, therefore, do not have an established limit, because still to come. We have also identified a careful selection of words that invest in the text a meticulous metaphorical texture, whose possibilities of interpretation are varied, but which should not, in our opinion, neglect the roles that the semantic values of Verbal Tense and Aspect exert.
