Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the word “trem” in the oral language. As theoretical reference, we adopted presuppositions of the Lexical Semantics (Mihatsch 2006) and Textual Linguistics in interface with the Cognitive Linguistics (Francis, 2003; Halliday e Hasana, 1995 [1976], Oliveira, 2006; Schmid 2000). The corpus is composed by recordings of sociolinguistic interviews conducted with residents of different cities from Minas Gerais. The results allow us to assert that” trem” is preferably used for anaphoric reference to non-human entities that receive negative evaluation by the informant.
