| Sumario: | Whenever we think or talk about situations or events, we give them a status in reality. So, a crucial question is: how do we conceptualize reality? The answer to this question is essential for understanding how we use the verbal tense and the verbal mood, since they are grammatical resources that allow us to locate the conceptualized situation in a specific area of (un) reality, that is: (i) at the level of past reality or immediate reality, if the situation is conceptualized as factual; (ii) at the level of reality not established, if the existence of the situation is not accepted; and (iii) at the level of projected reality or potential reality, if the occurrence of a future situation is conceptualized, respectively, as predictable or only possible. This essay, which is theoretically based on Cognitive Grammar (Langacker, 1991, 1999, 2003), aims to approach the relationship between the verbal tense, the verbal mood and the conceptualization of reality in Portuguese. For that, examples of different situations extracted from online news, obtained in the Google search tool, are presented and discussed. |
