Verb properties and inversion
Abstract
The article aims to present basic verb properties engaged in the process of inversion. In Portuguese, that is a
language with a null-subject parameter, the inversion seems to be more related to the proper verb rather than
subject characteristics. We differentiate semantic features of a verb which categorise the verbs expressing
movement, 'entry in the scene', and psychological ones as the classes of verbs prompted to inversion. The
semantic features of the differentiated categories relate to syntactic inversion favouring intransitive and
inaccusative verbs. Last but not least, the information and communicative factors place the verbs in the sentence
initial position, opposite to the subject rhematic elements.
