Constructions With the Pronoun Se and the Impersonalization: Reflections on Teaching
Saraiva, Eneile Santos
Resumo:
In Brazilian Portuguese, there are some constructions that can be activated in order to remove the participant who is responsible for the action or process from the scene. However, in Portuguese language classes, in regular education, we realize that the priority is given to working with only the perspective of indeterminacy. Thus, accordantly to such treatment, only two strategies (predicted in traditional grammars) that can be used in order to defocus the discursive third person are considered: use of the verb in the third person plural and the use of indirect transitive verb or intransitive verb plus SE pronoun. Furthermore, we realize that this indeterminacy is always associated with the study of the syntactic function of the subject, especially with regard to the classification of the indeterminate subject.
