Abstract

ABSTRACT: In Brazilian Portuguese the use of the vernacular construction is more frequent than the use of standard relative clauses, over a standard construction with a preposition or the form cujo (cf Tarallo, 1983 and Corrêa, 1998). The aim of this article is to present the linguistic factors that are favorable for the use of cujo and to bring a contribution to the standard writing of present time. The paper concludes that there is a difficulty gradation in the sentence making with the pronoun cujo due to the NP syntactic position that contains the relativized PP.
