Abstract (EN):
This paper is focused on the distribution of tenses in finite complement clauses in
Portuguese. We first show that the concept of tense dependence does not explain all the
restrictions to tenses in embedded clauses. Both temporal orientation and other semantic
factors constrain the tenses that may occur in a complement clause. We also analyse tense
sequences in a corpus of child spontaneous speech. In light of our previous analysis, we
suggest an early restriction in child grammar: the sequences of tenses produced by the
child in first stages may suggest avoidance of tense dependence.
