MOTIVATION PSYCHOGÉNIQUE DU SIGNIFIANT (CÔTÉ RADICAL) DANS DEUX VERBES PORTUGAIS: «SER» ET «IR»
THE PSYCHOGENIC MOTIVATION OF THE SIGNIFIER (STEM-RELATED) IN TWO PORTUGUESE VERBS: SER AND IR

Summary/Abstract: The Psychogenic Motivation of the Signifier (stem-related) in Two Portuguese Verbs: Ser and Ir. Among the Portuguese verbs called "irregular", the most interesting are ser and ir. Like their Spanish and French counterparts, the specificity of these verbs is that they introduced in their semiomorphic structure a combination of [three] complementary stems (the so-called suppletive stems) in order to assert the systematic unity of the conjugation, from a psychic, ideomorphic point of view. Thus, the stem changes according to mood, kinetic ordination of universe time, and epoch (for the so-called personal moods), and even according to the rank and number of the support person. The principle of distribution, considered from a psychic point of view, is not arbitrary at all, as this paper will show.
