It constitutes one of the stages in the study of the workings of Portuguese grammar, which is being conducted in modules, namely: verbs, proper nouns, common nouns and terms. At its present stage, the online DVPM makes available all the information that has already been prepared on the verbs found in a subcorpus of CIPM texts from the 12th to the 13th-14th centuries. The linguistic treatment of the verbs found in the dictionary is based on the notion that each lexical entry must include information relating to graphic form(s), inflectional paradigm, semantic properties, syntactic properties and quotations.
