Complementação e adjunção nominais em gramáticas históricas do português

Abstract

This article is part of a research that discusses the reasons why it is so difficult for students and teachers use language to apply the concepts of nominal complement (CN) and adnominal adjunct (AA) prepositional brought by grammars. The research began with an incursion by grammars of Portuguese in order to discover in them if can be found the reasons for these difficulties. Here are presented the results of the raid, indicating that cannot be attributed to the difficulty of understanding the concepts of CN and AA by both students and teachers to the similarity of the concepts contained in old grammars, but it turns out that there are points of convergence between the two groups of works that may point to a tradition in the Portuguese language using semantic criteria and syntactic definitions in separate instead of grouping the various uses of language, disregarding the fact that language changes and incorporates all the new uses times.
