In this study I present an investigation on the types of complete sentences, distributed in a hierarchy between more or less verbal / nominal, based on real data of conversation. It is a work on the grammar of the complementation of Brazilian Portuguese, more specifically on grammatically available constructions, based on certain types of verbal fitting predicates, in relation to the role that these constructions play in the complete structures of Portuguese.

The volume presents sixteen chapters focused on lexicalization patterns used in color naming in a variety of languages. Although previous studies have dealt with categorization and perceptual salience of color terms, few studies have been consistently conducted in order to investigate phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic devices languages use to form color terms.The aim of this volume is to approach color data from a relativist and typological perspective and to address some novel viewpoints in the research of color terms, such as: (a) the focus on language structure per se in the study of lexicalization data; (b) investigation of inter- and intra-language structural variation; (c) culture and language contact as reflected in language structure.Topics of this book have a broad appeal to researchers working in the fields of linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and psychology.

This book is a collection of articles dealing with theoretical issues in the study of tense, mood and aspect, as well as with specific semantic and syntactic problems raised by linguistic expressions dedicated to these domains across a variety of languages. Through these papers, strong variations are explored, but also crosslinguistic convergences are investigated. Numerous phenomena so far often left aside in linguistics are described and enlightened by different scientific standpoints, which they serve to illustrate. The languages investigated in this volume include Germanic languages (Dutch, English, German), Romance (French, Catalan, Italian), Slavic (Serbo-Croatian, Czech, Russian), Greek, and non-indoeuropean languages such as Thai, Digo and Kikuyu. Related topics such as grammaticalization, presuppositions, questions in dialogue, illocutionary acts and acquisition are incidentally called upon in order to shed light from the outside onto tense, mood (and modality) and aspect. This volume is of great interest for all scholars engaged in contemporary research on the linguistic expression of tense, mood and aspect. The papers gathered in this volume are a tight selection of the ones that were presented at the 6th Chronos colloquium.

Les Dialectes indo-européens d’A. Meillet remontent à 1908. Il nous a semblé utile qu’un ouvrage français dressât vers la fin de ce siècle un état de la question sur ces dialectes, dont certains n’étaient pas encore connus de Meillet, tandis que la problématique de ceux qu’il traite a été renouvelée. Notre titre, Langues indo-européennes, implique qu’il y a des absents : le latin et le grec, que nous supposions mieux connus du public cultivé non spécialiste que les autres langues : tokharien, indo-iranien, langues anatoliennes comme le hittite, arménien, thrace, albanais, balte et slave, germanique, italique, celtique. Chacune de ces langues fait l’objet d’un chapitre. Le livre, dû à d’éminents spécialistes internationaux, traite aussi de problèmes plus généraux : la méthode comparative, la reconstruction culturelle, les ethniques comme le nom des Aryens. Il comporte, enfin, un chapitre sur l’étrusque, non apparenté jusqu’à plus ample informé aux langues indo-européennes, mais dont la comparaison typologique avec ces dernières pose d’intéressants problèmes.
