Resumo

The aim of this paper is to analyse constructions with Caer as nucleus in Galician incontrast with Spanish. We will try to examine the variety os these structures to prove, inthe light of the theory of the construction and in the theoretical frame of the semanticsyntactic schemes, that this predicate cannot be compartmentalized within a singlesemantic class of action and movement, since it takes part in constructions of action,process, state, situation. With a basis on the concept of construction, we will try toproject this semantic concept into these structures in order to analyse these newschemes, new contents and a new semantic roles, something important in order to verifythe relevance of lexis, semantics and syntax interface in languages.
