Orações completivas e completivas desgarradas: comportamento prosódico

Abstract

We understand by unattached clause the phenomenon by which a clause, which constitutes an informational unit, can occur syntactically loose from another and, nevertheless, exhibit a func tional-discursive behavior. With regard specifically to the unattached complemented clause, besides the Decat study (1993; 2011), Silvestre and Rodrigues (2017) argue that, even though they are not in paraphrastic sequencing, repeating or repeating syntactic structures that occurred before in the discursive chain, they may be torn apart. In this sense, the authors present an extension of the description proposed by Decat (1993; 2011). In this article, therefore, with the purpose of rein forcing the proposal of Silvestre and Rodrigues (2017), we show the prosodic analysis of three complemented clause and three unattached complemented clause by a corpus consisting of posts of the social network Facebook, in order to identify the melodic movement in these clauses. For that, we combine the functionalist theoretical assumptions with the acoustic phonetics analysis.
