RESUMO:

In this work, we study the nominalizing construction, responsible for the formation of nouns and adjectives from a verbal base, formalized as [X-nte]. We aim to analyze this formal pattern as a form-meaning pairing and to identify the semantic-cognitive and discursive-pragmatic motivations implied in the recurrence of its constructs in real situations of interaction. Our theoretical support is the Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso (LFCU), as characterized in Furtado da Cunha, Bispo and Silva (2013), and contributions of the theoretical model of Construction Grammar as formulated by Goldberg (1995, 2006), Croft (2001), and more recently by Traugott and Trousdale (2013). The data for this research were collected from the Corpus Discurso & Gramática, sections Natal and Rio de Janeiro, which has oral and written texts, produced by informants of different educational levels, representing five textual typologies. It is a research of eminently qualitative approach, with quantitative support; In relation to the objectives, it is characterized as a descriptive-explanatory research. The results point out that, among formal properties, there is a partial syntactic-semantic correlation between verb-base and deverbal adjective, since adjectives do not totally inherit the verbal-based syntactic framework. In the case of functional properties, the data show the non-semantic transparency between verbal base and corresponding adjective, in several uses of adjectives in -nte; the low agentivity of these names; and their multifunctionality in the contexts of use in which they occur. The adjectives analyzed are in a continuum between the category of present participle and the category of adjectives, although in most cases they are no longer recognized as a form of the participle. Cognitively, we also perceive the performance of metaphorical and metonymic projections in the construction of new meanings for some constructs. The construction can still be characterized as partially schematic, partly productive and partly compositional.
