A semántica dos procesos en galegoesquemas prototípicos

Abstract

The study we are presenting is based on research carried out for the production of an analytical dictionary of structures for the Galician language. This article is focusing on the semantic of process in Galician and on the intransitive syntactic-semantic schemes. We will see that the processes represent the transit from one state to another, performed by one indirectovidual or entity, which are experimentors, and the processes can be of diverse classes according to changes experienced by the subject in relation to a concrete property or quality. Some of the constructions presented can have equivalent structures in dierent Romance and European languages; others are examples that are exclusive to the Galician language. The results obtained can also be the basis for other contrastive or comparative projects and for the production of conventional, structural dictionaries. Finally, we try to contribute to the development of semantic construction as well.
