SUMMARY:

This doctoral thesis aims at characterizing the cognitive structures underlying the conceptualization of motion events in Brazilian Portuguese. For this investigation, excerpts from the screenplay O Som ao Redor (Mendonça Filho, 2020) expressing motion events were selected. The simple sentences in the excerpts were analyzed according to the Content Analysis technique (Bardin, 2011), being grouped into different categories of grammatical constructions of motion. In this process, two general categories of underlying constructions emerged: self-motion and caused-motion. These categories grounded the characterization of cognitive structures (constructions) that establish relational bindings between two types of knowledge schemas: form schemas and meaning schemas. This characterization first involved a formal description of the constructions, as well as their form and meaning schemas, based on the notational formalism of Embodied Construction Grammar (Bergen & Chang, 2013). Subsequently, a theoretical interpretation was carried out within an ecocognitive framework (Duque, 2024) in order to elucidate how the characterized structures (constructions and schemas) participate in the online conceptualization processes of motion events.
