RESUMO

This paper studies the singular behavior of experiential and beneficiary verbs concerning the property of ergativity, more specifically the observation of the conditions that allow the causative-ergative alternation and how it happens. Basing on the Theory of Variation and Linguistic Change, 24 interviews with informants from Belo Horizonte were carried out, resulting in a corpus of 1,419 occurrences. The data analysis allowed to verify the most frequent structures of the collected verbs (analytic and synthetic constructions) and through the analysis of such structures, a qualitative analysis was proposed in order to find out the types of structures developed by the different verb classes. In this part of the analysis the idiosyncratic behaviors of each verb class allowed to point out the relevance of the lexical item. Once identified the verbs which accept the causative-ergative alternation, the ergative structures were analyzed considering the use of the pronoun. The analysis of the use of the pronoun also considered extralinguistic factors such as gender, age and formal education.
