dc.description.abstractThis paper focuses on a verbal periphrasis of Brazilian Portuguese formed with the verb viver 'to live' + V[Gerund], 'to keep V-ing', and provides an analysis of its meaning. On the basis of the syntactic and semantic properties of the periphrasis, it is shown that it is a monoclausal construction with a single complex predicate. The meaning of viver + V[Gerund] is analyzed in terms of eventuality modification and pluractionality, specifically as a frequentative operator, building on the analysis of verbal periphrases formed with verbs of motion in Spanish proposed by Laca (2004, 2006).en
