Abstract

Language into Act Theory states that the dominion of the spoken syntax is the information unit, that constrains or blocks any possible syntactic relation between the lexical elements. The goal of this paper is to discuss and problematize this framework offering an alternative proposal to this issue. Departing from an incursion in some empirical-grammatical aspects, it is proposed that the dominion of the spoken syntax is the constituent. One of the evidences concerning this proposal is the existence of discontinuous constituents between information units, that attest its existence even when interpolated by other morphosyntactic elements. The perception of the discontinuous constituents is attested also by an experimental approach. Based on the proposal that the constituent is the dominion of the spoken syntax, it is proposed some principles of the syntax of this diamesia extracted of corpora data.
