Abstract

This paper focuses on the delimitation of adjectives as a lexical category by children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese. It reconciles a psycholinguistic approach to language acquisition with a minimalist conception of language (Chomsky, 1995-2001). The results of the experiments reported here are compatible with the working hypothesis, namely, that children make use of syntactic and morphological information in the delimitation of adjectives as a lexical category. They also reveal that the semantic properties of derivation affixes forming adjectives are already available by the age of two. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In this paper, We describe the efficacy of lexical blends, like 'Luísque' ('Lula' + 'uísque') and 'Jeguerino' ('Jegue' + 'Severino'), in Agamenon Mendes Pedreira's articles, published by O Globo once in a week. We show that lexical blends are constructions that cause an expressive impact in textual and discursive levels. We too argue that blends are a resource for the expression of humor in these articles.
