Hierarquia e herança em construções-suporte preferidas no português brasileiro e na língua italiana

A comparative analysis between contemporary Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and Italian languages (IL) is presented based on the study of support constructions. These constructions are elaborated from the chunking predicate schema [_VN_] and presents argument selection competence. It is intended to analyze the formal constitution, the polysemic spectrum and mainly the relations of hierarchy and inheritance that identify each support constructional network, considering the most productive verbal paradigms. The analysis involves data from BP collected by Flores (2020), which involve the most mentioned support constructions in grammars of use of BP and distinct from the corpora Fala Goiana and Discurso and Gramática. The Italian data are part of the "Corpus of contemporary Italian – Interviews" (CICE). The theoretical background comes from the Constructions Grammar (Goldberg 1995; Traugott and Trousdale 2013; Masini 2017).
