ASPECTOS DO PAPEL ENUNCIATIVO DA PREPOSIÇÃO COM: OBJETO DIRETO PREPOSICIONADO E TRANSITIVIDADE VERBAL

This article's goal is to explore the problematic surrounding the so-called prepositioned direct object according to the Portuguese grammar tradition. The initial scenario allows us to verify that the given explanations regarding the prepositioned direct object do not correspond to the complexity of that subject itself (its uses and possibilities). That happens because the limits that control verbal transitivity aren't clear, therefore, possible differences between preposition-headed phrases whose syntactic functions are not equivalent among each other, aren't clear as well. When we behold this phenomenon occurrences (through a study that analyzed WITH's semantic identity) we realized that the usage of the prepositions, in those environments, isn't just about highlighting the emphatic or aesthetic relationships between themselves, even though that's how it's commonly seen. In this article we propose an enunciate analysis that sustains a new comprehension of this phenomenon, and we do that by using the Theory of the Predicative and Enunciative Operations, by Antoine Culioli (1990, 1999a, 1999b), Franckel and Paillard (2007) and Ashino, Franckel and Paillard (2017), all works destined and focused onto the prepositions semantics through the enunciative perspective.
