    Abstract An overview of socio-discursive nature of verb phrases with ter/tener and haver/haber, in the so-called light verbs constructions, in Brazilian Portuguese and European and American Spanish (Madrid and Buenos Aires), based on spoken samples extracted from the NURC-Brazil Project and the Macrocorpus of standard speech of most important cities of the hispanic world. The analyses comfirm the hypotheses of (i) different degrees of functionality of those verbs to the formation of a periphrasis in a continuum, related to the possibility of acceptance of several kinds of intervenient elements between the verb and the abstract noun; (ii) the fact that this use is a consequence of the processes of grammaticalization end lexicalization and (iii) that it is necessary to take in account constraints of different nature.Resumo: Panorama geral de natureza sócio-discursiva de lexias verbo-nominais com os verbos ter/tener e haver/haber, nas chamadas construções com verbos leves, no português brasileiro e no espanhol de Madri e Buenos Aires, com base em dados de língua falada do Projeto NURC-Br e do Macrocorpus da Norma Linguística Culta das Principais Cidades do Mundo Hispânico. A análise comprova a hipótese (i) de existência de diversos graus de funcionalidade do verbo na formação da perífrase em um continuum relacionado à possibilidade de aceitação de determinantes e/ou outros elementos intervenientes entre o verbo e o nome abstrato; (ii) de seu uso ser consequência dos processos de gramaticalização e de lexicalização e (iii) ser necessário considerar restrições de natureza diversa

    The aim of this paper is twofold: (i) to analyze the use of the verbs ter and haver in the history of Portuguese and, more specifically, in a recent stage of Brazilian Portuguese, in which the possessive ter is used as an existential verb; and (ii) to discuss some properties involving ter and haver in possessive and existential domains, in both European and Brazilian Portuguese, pointing to the possibility of verbal agreement with ter/haver-existential constructions. Exploring results from previous analyses it is shown that some properties of existential constructions, in contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, can derive from changes involving subject position, related to the weakening of flectional paradigm

    <abstract language="eng">This paper deals with the weakening process of the phoneme R in final coda position, in Rio de Janeiro dialect. Following labovian quantitative approach, three sets of data are compared, in order to present a case-study in apparent time and real time, through a panel and a trend study. It is shown that final R deletion follows age grading pattern and cannot be considered a change in progress
