Abstract

This paper approaches the semantic-discursive behavior of the verbal Aspect in the simple forms of the tenses: Perfect Past and Imperfect Past of the Indicative mode, in a corpus of six inquiries of the database PORCUFORT - Português Oral Culto de Fortaleza. The theoretical chapters of this work retake some of the main researches made, previously, regarding the verbal Aspect; a study that adopts the way as this category is seen inside of the Semantics and of the Speech; in addition to the subject of the reference of this category in the speech and of the linguistic elements that, generally, that aid in its characterization, like the adverbs of time and the verbs argument. In the methodology, we show the analysis factors, they are: parameters of transitivity, verb types, foreground and background, and interpretation types. Thus, we have noticed that this verbal category possesses semantic-discursive characteristics that are not just conditioned by the morphological or lexical form of the verbs, but also by the arguments that accompany them, and by the discursive context in which they are inserted.
