‘castanhas. Venderam-se (vendeu-se) Hoje’: a Perspectivação Passiva Do Acontecer Verbal Em Cartas Comerciais Manuscritas Do Século Xix

Type: article
Abstract: For studying the relationship between the decrease in the frequency of verb agreement and the interpretation of the reflexive ‘se’ in the context of synthetic or pronominal passives (Nunes, 1990; Galves, 1996), we considered 867 (eight hundred and sixty-seven) commercial correspondence dated from 1880 to 1889 and written in the geographical limits identified as Capitania de São José do Rio Negro; today, state of Amazonas. Our investigation, with a sociofunctionalist approach (Labov, 1972; Givón, 1995; Dubois & Votre, 2012), showed that when the passive perspective of the verbal event (Vilela, 1999) is assumed by the sender of the manuscripts under analysis, it takes place, preferably, not with the passive with ‘se’ but with the analytic passive, corroborating the results of Carvalho (1990, p. 90) when he proposed that, due to the lack of clarity of the synthetic passive, “in its place, reigns sovereign, in Romance languages, the analytic passive”.
