Abstract

This Assuming the idea that the clause structure is organized in hierarchical layers, this paper
proposes an analysis of the modal construction (ser) capaz de/que in the Portuguese, seeking to
identify correlations between its semantic and syntactic properties. In theoretical-
methodological terms, the work adopts the layered model of the Role and Reference Grammar
(RRG) (Van Valin, 1993; Van Valin; LaPolla, 1993; Van Valin, 2023). The corpus used in the
work is the Corpus do Português (https://www.corpusdoportugues.org/), from which
concordance lines of the construction were extracted from its web/dialects database. The analysis of the occurrences shows that the construction can be a means of expressing different
modal values ​​and can appear in different types of complex structure.
