The aim of this study is to provide an integrated description of consequential constructions in European contemporary Portuguese, relating their syntactic, semantic and pragmatic behavior. It will be argued that the discourse segment introduced by the connectives consequentemente , de forma que , dai (que) , de modo que , por isso , assim can be analyzed in terms of a supplement (Huddleston & Pullum 2002), not syntactically integrated with its anchor, but semantically related to it. Semantically, consequential constructions may be paraphrased by causal ones involving an adverbial subordinate clause. But, unlike causal constructions, consequential ones connect two distinct speech acts. The suppression of the consequential connective may trigger two different readings, but it will be argued that, for pragmatic reasons (Levinson 2000), the preferential reading is still the consequential one.

当代欧洲葡萄牙语中的结果构造：贡献

这项研究的目的是对欧洲当代葡萄牙语中的结果结构进行综合描述，并将其句法，语义和语用行为联系起来。可以认为，可以用补语（Huddleston＆Pullum 2002）来分析由连接词“ conform随后”，“形式”，“语”，“语气”，“ porsoso”，“ assim”引入的语篇片段（Huddleston＆Pullum 2002）。它的锚，但在语义上与此相关。从语义上说，结果构式可以用涉及状语从句的因果结构来解释。但是，与因果结构不同，结果因果关系将两种截然不同的言语行为联系起来。对结果连词的压制可能会触发两种不同的解读，但有人认为，出于实用的原因（Levinson 2000），
