Resumo(s)
Portuguese is the official language of five African countries, Angola, Cape
Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and S. Tome and Principe. In the case of
Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and S. Tome and Principe, Creole languages have
emerged and are widely used, resulting in Portuguese being spoken by a
minority, while in Angola and Mozambique the number of Portuguese speakers has increased since independence from Portugal (in 1975) and Portuguese
has established itself as a factor of national unity, in the face of a large diversity of languages spoken by the population. Five corpora of these African
varieties of Portuguese (AVP) have recently been compiled (Bacelar do Nascimento et al. 2006) and have enabled initial contrastive studies on the lexicon
and on the syntax, pointing to specific linguistic aspects where AVP differ
from the European Portuguese (EP) norm. This paper will focus on the specific case of constructions with SE, ranging from reflexive and reciprocal,
intrinsically pronominal, passive, impersonal or anticausative, under a contrastive perspective with EP, and will be based on data collected from the spoken subpart of the Corpus Africa.
