Abstract(s)
As palavras, como se sabe, servem para nomear o mundo. Mas como as nomeações surgem,
como se consolidam e de que forma os seus significados são reciclados para produzirem novos
significados (quer por extensão quer por restrição), depende muito do contexto social em que
as mesmas são usadas. Assim, a ‘plasticidade’ ou extensão semântica constitui um campo dos
estudos linguísticos que tem sido objeto de reflexão desde a Antiguidade. Por ser um assunto
pertinente, a linguística contemporânea, através da Semântica e da Pragmática, tem-se
dedicado cada vez mais ao estudo do significado, o qual, em termos pragmáticos, é feito
relacionando-o com o falante, ao passo que em semântica o mesmo é definido como
propriedade das expressões de uma determinada língua. A presente dissertação pretende
fazer uma abordagem pragmático-semântica do morfema gramatical só na variedade angolana
do português. A razão subjacente ao estudo do tema deve-se ao fato de o referido morfema
assumir, naquela variedade africana do português, valores funcionais muito distintos dos que
a gramática tradicional lhe atribui, como, por exemplo, o de fórmula de cortesia e de
expressão intensificadora, fruto do contato entre a língua portuguesa e as línguas africanas
faladas em Angola. É, portanto, com o objetivo de, por um lado, analisar o funcionamento do
morfema só e, por outro, de contribuir para a divulgação das particularidades da variedade
angolana do português que a presente dissertação foi concebida.
Words, as known, serve to name the world. But how appointments arise, how they are consolidated and how their meanings are recycled to produce new meanings (whether by extension or by constraint) depends very much on the social context in which they are used. Thus, 'plasticity' or semantic extension constitutes a field of linguistic studies that has been object of reflection since antiquity. Because it is a pertinent subject, contemporary linguistics, through Semantics and Pragmatics, has been increasingly dedicated to the study of meaning, which, in pragmatic terms, is done by relating it to the speaker, while in semantics it is defined as the property of the expressions of a given language. The present dissertation intends to make a pragmatic-semantic approach of the grammatical morpheme only in the Angolan Portuguese variety. The reason underlying the study of this theme is due to the fact that the morpheme assumes, in African Portuguese variety, functional values very different from those attributed by traditional grammar, such as the formula of courtesy and intensifying expression, fruit of the contact between the Portuguese language and the African languages spoken in Angola. It is, therefore, with the objective of, on one hand, to analyze the operation of the morpheme only and, on the other, to contribute to the divulgation of the particularities of the Angolan Portuguese variety that the present dissertation was conceived.
