RESUMO:

This research aims to study movement verbs. It aims to analyze syntactic-semantic and discursive-pragmatic status in the sentences with movement verbs. The general hypothesis is movement verbs consists in a class of verbs composed by, a minimum, three subclasses that present syntactic, semantic and pragmatic own characteristics. This research has a cognitive-functional approach of language, to recognize contributions by functional linguistics like Talmy Givón, Paul Hopper, Sandra Thompson, and cognitive linguistics like Michael Tomasello, George Lakoff, Ronald Langacker, among others. It has two sources of data: (i) Corpus Discurso & Gramática: a língua falada e escrita na cidade do Natal (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998); (ii) news published in sites. The first source is a data with five types of texts: narratives of personal experiences, re-telling narratives, description of a place, relates of proceedings and relates of opinion. Data collected is from forty texts in the writing modality: twenty students from 8th level of Basic school and twenty ones from university. The second source is composed by news published in the internet, those texts collected aiming to find as diversity of authors as possible. To this, it searches in Google News, because it has a range of news agencies. In this portal, texts are organized according to six themes: Brasil, world, sports, Science and technology, health and business. Related to each theme, 14 first texts were collected from different dominium. Firstly, it analyzes the graduation of sentences transitivity using movement verbs, following Hopper and Thompson (1980) proposes. Secondly, it analyzes syntactic and semantic aspects related to the argumental structure of those verbs. Finally, it analyzes informational status of verbs arguments. Results shows that movement verbs are a category not homogeneous, that can be subdivided in groups according syntactic, semantic and pragmatic characteristics.
