Abstract

PONCE DE LEON ROMEO, Rogelio. A Chapter in the History of Syntactic Ideas in Portugal: On the Syntactic Theory of Ars grammaticae pro lingua lusitana addiscenda (Lyon 1672 by Bento Pereira (S.I). Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2006, n.19, pp.11-30. ISSN 0120-338X.

This paper discusses the syntactic premises of Ars grammaticae pro lingua lusitana addiscenda (Lyon 1672) by Portuguese Jesuit Bento Pereira. First, the role of syntax during the 16th and 17th C. not only in Portuguese and Spanish, but also in Latin printed grammatical arts is discussed. Then, the main characteristics of Bento Pereira´s grammar are accurately presented within the grammatographic context of his time. As regards syntax proper, the Portuguese Jesuist´s approach concerning the relationships between constituents, as well as the description he proposes for subordinate clauses are discussed. Finally, a brief review of Bento Pereira´s sources is presented.

Keywords : Portuguese Syntax; 17th Century; Portuguese Grammatography; History of Portuguese Linguistics.
