| Summary: | This paper presents a preliminary analysis about the argument structure with cognition verbs in Brazilian Portuguese. Data were collected in a sociolinguistic interview, whose informant is a 50 years old man that represents the speech of Natal/RN and the education level of elementary school. The results show that the prototypical construction of argument structure for the cognition verbs corresponds to a subschema of prototypical transitive construction and it is held in most constructs, which refer to more specific subschemas, depending of the linguistic item which assumes the function of direct object. The theoretical support adopted is the Usage-Based Functional Linguistics, which is a theoretical and methodological model, which follows principles, processes and categories of North American functional linguistics and cognitive linguistics. |
