RESUMO:

The relationship between the types of adjective sentences and the properties of referents is a subject already addressed by some researchers, but usually in a secondary way. Such a theme is our primary object of research. In this work, our goal is to understand the relationship between adjective clauses and their nominal referents, thus elucidating the properties of the antecedent NP can favor the use of restrictive or explanatory adjectives. For this research, our clipping focuses on developed adjectives that have an explicit referent. Methodologically, this is a qualitative-quantitative research that takes as corpus news and reports from 18 editions of Tribuna do Norte newspapers, from May to July 2017. We have developed this work from the perspective of Linguistic Functionalism, specifically the American side, inspired by Talmy Givón, Sandra Thompson, Joan Bybee, Elizabeth Traugott, Mario Martelotta, Angelica Furtado da Cunha, among others. We use more directly the principles and parameters of iconicity, informativeness and figurativeness, the cline of sentence integration developed by Hopper and Traugott (2003) and Oliveira's (2001) proposal for a continuum of adjectivation. Ultimately, the research could contribute to a more comprehensive view of the role of relative clauses in relation to its referent. Or, at least, point out possibilities, constraints and probabilities of using these sentences. Preliminary results indicate that both restrictive and explanatory can occur with certain antecedents and known, which are the majority in the texts of the corpus. However, when we visualize only the generic or new antecedents, we see that most of them are anchored by restrictive sentences. From the discursive point of view, we also see that the restrictive has a particularly grammatical function, while the explanatory one presents itself as information fund, having a more discursive and argumentative function.
