Abstract

Based on the notes of the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations (TPEO), by Antoine Culioli (1999), this article aims to observe, describe and analyze, from a enunciative-semantic perspective, the uses of the verb “ficar” (‘to stay’) in ten statements extracted and adapted from the “Curso Vila Brasil” website. For Culioli (1999), the form of the meanings of the statements takes place at the moment of interaction between the interlocutors, in which the cotext, the context and the subjects are essential pieces for this enunciation activity. In addition to the TPEO presuppositions, the theoretical background of the article is based on studies by Silva (2016) and by Franckel (2011). These studies suggest the presentation of the identity of a lexeme analyzed based on the verification of meaning variations in different enunciation contexts. The results obtained show the semantic identities constructed through the variation of the meaning of the verb “to stay” in occurrences analyzed from the enunciative-semantic perspective.
