Brazilian Portuguese Reciprocal Fragment

[palmieri-2024]

Brazilian Portuguese encodes reciprocity with the reflexive-identical clitic se (the grammatical strategy) and the periphrastic um o outro, alongside a class of lexical reciprocal verbs — verbs with a transitive entry whose reciprocal reading also emerges without se in language-specific environments ([palmieri-2024] ch. 2, Table 2.2; Appendix A carries the verb list formalized in lexicalReciprocals).

def BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.seClitic : Reciprocal.Marker

se — reflexive/reciprocal clitic ([palmieri-2024] ch. 2).

Equations

• BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.seClitic = { form := "se", strategy := Reciprocal.Strategy.recipClitic, readings := [Reciprocal.Reading.reciprocal, Reciprocal.Reading.reflexive] }

def BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.bipartite : Reciprocal.Marker

um o outro — periphrastic bipartite reciprocal (attested in [palmieri-2024] ch. 2 (se-omission licensor in finite clauses)).

Equations

• BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.bipartite = { form := "um o outro", strategy := Reciprocal.Strategy.bipartiteNP }

def BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.markers : List Reciprocal.Marker

Marker inventory, primary strategy first.

Equations

• BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.markers = [BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.seClitic, BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.bipartite]

def BrazilianPortuguese.Reciprocals.lexicalReciprocals : List Verb

The verbs carrying lexical reciprocal entries ([palmieri-2024], Appendix A), referenced as ordinary verb entries — the lexical strategy marks predicates, not forms. The transitive alternate is the entry itself (homophonous in Romance).
