<b>On the operational concepts of ‘syntax’, ‘clause’, ‘sentence’ and ‘statement’ in a 20th-century grammar of the Portuguese Language
Abstract
Brief notes are provided on how the grammarians Celso Cunha and Lindley Cintra define and implement the operational concept of ‘syntax’ and the methodologically inherent operational instruments of ‘sentence’ and ‘clause’, with which they associate the notion of ‘statement’, within a descriptive-normative study of the Portuguese language, namely in the third edition of the Nova gramática do português contemporâneo. The operationality of the above instruments by the aforementioned authors is analyzed as from certain impairments inherent to the inherited perspective of language. The original links to Greek and Latin models, coupled to a greater or smaller permeability to epistemological paradigm inflows through history are also taken into account.
