O lugar do sujeito indeterminado sob uma abordagem enunciativa

Abstract

The objective of this research is to discuss the topic of the indefinite subject in a spoken format and in a perspective projection so it can be possible to seek the difference between formal and semantic patterns. For this purpose, we will present some research studies on the topic and we will discuss them based on the difference we consider present between the two. We discuss the phenomenon of indeterminacy of the subject from the perspective of Traditional Grammar and some current linguistic terms. In the following, we will present a theory on enunciation, with which we align ourselves, since we believe that the syntactic facts of a language do not occur only on the material level of the sentence. From this perspective then, we propose an analysis of the indefinite subject, by observing the types of subject, in the case of Projected Subject from the perspective of the theory of enunciation, and the modes of occupation of Formation of the Nominal Subject (FN-Subject). We observe that there is an ongoing change in Brazilian Portuguese that tends to a material, organic occupation of the place of the indefinite subject. For this, it has been used pronouns (I, you, we, someone, etc.) and expressions of indeterminate meaning (the one, the people, the individual, etc.). We note that the forms of indeterminacy used by speakers are not the same and they vary according to the speech patterns and according to the speaker's need to specify the referent of the projected subject. Thus, we arrive at a reformulation of the concept of definiteness, specification and determination. From the analysis we have proposed, we suggest a new naming and a new concept for the indefinite subject in order to minimize, if not resolve, the problems encountered by those who wish to analyze syntactically this nominal formation.
