Abstract

Abstract The article examines the use of estar in Portuguese expressions of permanent location, which runs counter to normative grammar, according to which ser and ficar should appear in those cases. This use of estar is not mentioned in grammatical descriptions, either. Yet, it occurs in contemporary Portuguese (both Portugal and Brazil). The same goes for the Portuguese- and Spanish-lexified creoles, some of which use tá/stá (< estar), to express location. However, almost all rely on a single verb in these contexts. The research question was studied empirically in a corpus (N=1,037) based on Google searches with seven exact phrases including estar, ser, and ficar, subsequently complemented with an analysis of two other Portuguese corpora. The results show that estar appears in expressions of permanent location, both in Portugal (22,5%) and Brazil (17,5%). However, there is a statistically significant difference, ficar being more frequent in Brazil and ser in Portugal. Moreover, the higher frequency of estar in Portugal may indirectly explain the popularity of ficar in Brazil. In addition, estar appears in written nonfiction, pointing to expressions of the type estar localizado / situado as its possible origin, also taking into account that no instances of its use were found in older documents.

«A普拉斯áperto»:使用形式estar的固定表达能力在葡萄牙语

摘要:本文考察了葡萄牙语永久位置表达中estar的用法，这种用法违背了规范语法，在这种情况下ser和ficar应该出现。星号的这种用法在语法描述中也没有提到。然而，它发生在当代葡萄牙(葡萄牙和巴西)。葡萄牙语和西班牙语的克里奥尔语也是如此，其中一些人使用t / star (< estar)来表示位置。然而，在这些上下文中，几乎都依赖于一个动词。研究问题在一个语料库(N= 1037)中进行了实证研究，该语料库基于谷歌搜索，包含七个精确的短语，包括estar, ser和ficar，随后辅以对另外两个葡萄牙语料库的分析。结果表明，在葡萄牙(22.5%)和巴西(17.5%)的永久位置表达式中均出现了star。然而，在统计上存在显著差异，巴西和葡萄牙之间的差异更大。此外，star在葡萄牙的使用频率较高可能间接解释了ficar在巴西的受欢迎程度。此外，estar出现在书面非小说中，这表明estar localizado / situado类型的表达可能是它的起源，也考虑到在较早的文档中没有发现它的使用实例。
