摘要
This article compares the results of three contrastive analyses based on European and Brazilian theatre plays, written across the 19th and the 20th centuries. The comparative work focuses 3rd person accusative and dative clitics and the indefinite clitic "se". Based on theoretical proposals for their status, as agreement elements, as opposed to 1st and 2nd person clitics, which behave as phrases (NPs) and are deictic, we find evidence for their obsolescence in Brazilian Portuguese (PB) and their strength and high frequency in European Portuguese (EP). Such clitics, just like other inflectional morphemes, weakened for socio-historical reasons in Brazilian Portuguese, have been replaced by alternative forms explained partially by the discourse orientation and partially by the resetting of the value of the Null Subject Parameter in BP.
