RESUMO:

The relationship between the semantic typology of adjective clauses and the properties of the referents to which they are attached is a subject little explored by researchers. Such a theme is our primary object of research. In this work, we have as main goal to understand the relationship between adjective clauses and their nominal referents, elucidating which properties of the NP antecedent can favor the use of restrictive adjectives or nonrestrictive 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 25 issues of the newspaper Tribuna do Norte, from May to August 2017. We develop this work from the perspective of Classic Linguistic Functionalism, inspired by Talmy Givón, Joan Bybee, Elizabeth Traugott, Mário Martelotta, Angelica Furtado da Cunha, among others. We use more directly the principles and parameters of informativeness, figuricity and iconicity, besides the cline of sentence integration developed by Hopper and Traugott (1993), Oliveira's proposal (2001) for a continuum of adjectivation and Souza's proposal (2009) a continuum of NP specification. The results indicate that restrictive adjective clauses tend to occur more with less defined antecedents, whereas nonrestrictive clauses occur in greater numbers with more defined antecedents. In relation to the informational status, we note that most of the new antecedents are anchored by restrictive sentences. From the discursive point of view, we also see that the restrictive ones play a function of compensating for the low level of information of the antecedent. Already the nonrestrictive acts as an information fund, playing a more discursive and argumentative function, by focusing antecedent relevant qualities within the discursive context of the main clause and the text in which it occurs.
