Language activity, invariancy and creative dynamics

Abstract

In this work, we discuss the founding principle of language activity for the Theory of Enunciative Operations: invariance. In order to highlight this creative dynamics that constitute the utterances, we explore data from Brazilian Portuguese - namely, breaking and head jobs - which show that the semantic variation of units belonging to the verbal and nominal field is explained, on the one hand, by a schema invariant characterizing the semanticism that is specific to them and, on the other hand, by general principles that configure this scheme in uses. We also propose to reflect on the consequences arising from these principles in nominal phrases that are presented as nominal 1 of nominal 2.
