Arguments

Charger, Amount, Payer, Service · four places · Portuguese cloth · working claim, revisable

Voice[Charger] + Appl_FROM(Payer, MeasureP_Amount ⟨n, U⟩) + por-Service

Payer = a + NP or de + NP · the two prepositions are both printed and unranked · dative lhe of this person is unprinted · Amount = direct object · Service = por + NP, and the filled examples contract por + o as pelo

A fee, on this reading, has a Charger, an Amount, a Payer, and a Service, the thing the amount is asked for. They are not four equal sisters of cobrar, and the Service is not a fourth structural Case. Voice adds the Charger. The root’s measuring object is the Amount, a direct object. Portuguese nouns have no case ending, so that object is not a morphological accusative. The Payer is the person the amount is demanded from. Aulete’s fee sense prints that person with a or with de, in one label, and the example fills both: Cobra aos/dos fiéis o dízimo. The slash is the entry’s. Michaelis fills de in cobrou da patroa as horas extras. The Service is por. Aulete fills it as pelo aluguel do apartamento and pelo serviço. pelo is por fused with the masculine article o. It is the same preposition. No dictionary opened here prints the Charger, the Payer, the Amount, and por in one clause. The drawing assembles those pieces. It is revisable.

What is different from English charge. Cambridge’s money sense prints charge something for something in How much do you charge for a haircut and blow-dry?, charge someone for something in Can I charge the company for petrol I use getting to work?, and [ + two objects ] in They charge you $20 just to get in the nightclub. The business entry prints charge (sb) sth for sth in How much will you charge us for shipping and handling? and They charged $200 for insurance. The Payer you, the company, and us is a bare object. Portuguese fee lines do not print that bare person beside the amount. They print the person with a or with de. A dative lhe of the Payer is unprinted on the articles opened here. The one lhe on the Michaelis article sits inside que a empresa ainda lhe devia, the indirect object of dever, not of cobrar. English for of the haircut, the petrol, the shipping, and the insurance matches por / pelo. The cut is the Payer: English leaves that person bare, and can put the bare person and the amount in one clause; Portuguese marks the person with a or de, and the sources print that person and por in different clauses.

Places · who wears which marking

The printed fee clauses each leave at least one place empty. Aulete’s rent line and service line have the amount and pelo, and no person. The tithe line has the person in a or de and the amount, and no por. Michaelis’s overtime line has de and the thing demanded, and no por. The strings that put a named Payer, an amount, and pelo serviço in one clause are constructed on those pieces.

Marking map. Read the direct object as the amount. Then read a or de as the person, and por / pelo as the service.

Direct object of the amount. Aulete sense 2: R$600,00, R$50,00, o dízimo. The same entry’s sense 1 is cobrar uma dívida, the debt as that object, with no person and no por in the example. Priberam sense 1 is the same debt, cobrar uma dívida, glossed as proceeding to collection, or asking or demanding payment of what is owed. Michaelis prints impostos, o pagamento, and uma fortuna. Infopédia sense 2 names determinado valor and prints no clause. Wikcionário calls the verb transitive direct and indirect and prints no clause. English Wiktionary glosses the first sense as to charge (ask for a certain amount of money for something) and prints no clause for it.
a and de of the Payer. Aulete’s label is tdi. + a, de, and the example is Cobra aos/dos fiéis o dízimo. The entry does not rank the two prepositions and does not attach a regional label to either. Rodrigues states the traditional frame as cobrar algo de (ou a) alguém. Vieira & Faraco, which he quotes, prints dos aposentados beside uma taxa exorbitante and aos alunos beside todas as despesas. Michaelis fills only de on the overtime line, da patroa. Priberam and Infopédia print no person. That silence is recorded. It is not read here as a ban on either preposition. No source opened here says that a is European and de is Brazilian, or the reverse. The a / de split discussed for roubar on steal · Portuguese is a different verb and is not copied onto cobrar.
lhe. Unprinted as the Payer. Michaelis O funcionário cobrou o pagamento que a empresa ainda lhe devia puts lhe in the relative clause, as the person the company still owed. The clitic belongs to dever. lhes is unprinted. A clause that doubles a clitic with a or with de is unprinted. Spanish le / a of the Payer is a different cloth. This page does not copy that clitic onto cobrar. Portuguese pagar does print lhe, of the Recipient. That clitic is not a license for a Payer lhe of cobrar.
por and pelo of the Service. Aulete fills pelo aluguel do apartamento beside R$600,00, and pelo serviço beside R$50,00. Both nouns are masculine, so the contraction is por + o. Infopédia’s second sense is pedir determinado valor por produto, serviço, etc. The preposition is in the definition. There is no article and no clause. pela, por + feminine a, is unprinted on the cobrar articles opened here. pagar does print pela pintura. That is a different verb. A person after por on a fee line is unprinted. The por of a bare person in the Folha headlines is the press reading, separated below.
de inside the thing. Michaelis prints cobrar o aluguel dos outros inquilinos e entregá-lo pontualmente ao senhorio. dos outros inquilinos follows the noun aluguel. The next verb hands that rent to the landlord, ao senhorio. The de can be read as part of the rent phrase. It is not the split Payer of cobrou da patroa as horas extras, where da patroa stands between the verb and the direct object. This page does not file the tenants’ de as a second Payer marking.

Related · the debt, the press reading, the other senses

Collecting or demanding what is owed stays on this lemma, and off the por frame. Priberam sense 1 and Aulete sense 1 are cobrar uma dívida. Michaelis’s collection sense prints cobrar impostos and cobrar o pagamento. The debt, the tax, or the payment is the direct object. Those clauses do not add por of a service. English Wiktionary’s second gloss is to demand payment, with no clause. Infopédia sense 1 is proceder à cobrança de; pedir ou exigir que seja pago aquilo que é devido, again with no clause. The fee sense on this page is the one that asks an amount for a product or a service: Aulete sense 2 and Infopédia sense 2. The debt object is the same direct-object slot, with the service unrealized.

cobrar alguém, the press reading, is a different frame. The dictionaries opened here do not print a bare person as the object of a fee. Aulete sense 3 demands fulfilment of a promise, and the person stays optional under a or de: Cobrava (a todos os amigos) presença na festa, Cobrou (do pai) o CD prometido. The parentheses are the entry’s. The direct object is presença or o CD. Michaelis prints cobrou atitude and cobrar a vitória dele. The thing demanded is the object. English Wiktionary’s third sense is to demand that something be done, and the quotation it prints is Ele cobrou freio ao magistrado (Folha de S.Paulo, 7 September 2024, as that entry dates it): freio is the direct object, and the person is a. Rodrigues’s column treats a newer journalistic frame as something else. The headlines he quotes put the person bare: Haddad cobra Congresso por compensação na desoneração da folha, cobra deputados por alinhamento ao PT, Fiesp cobra deputados, Lula cobra ministros a viajarem mais. He writes that the older frame is cobrar algo de (ou a) alguém, rather than cobrar alguém por (ou a) algo, and that the newer use adds the sense of reprimanding and pressing. The two examples he quotes from Vieira & Faraco do not print the bare person. On that frame the person is the direct object, and por or a plus infinitive names what is pressed for. There is no amount as a second object. It is not Cambridge’s charge you $20, and it is not Aulete’s R$50,00 pelo serviço.

The same lemma in Spanish, and the dative clitics next door. Spanish cobrar spells the Payer as dative le / a. Portuguese prints a’s cognate a and also prints de. French facturer and Italian addebitare use a dative clitic of the Payer. A Payer lhe of cobrar is unprinted. Portuguese pagar is the other direction of the money: the person is the Recipient, a or lhe, and por is what the money is paid for. The preposition a can appear on both verbs. The role is what the verb fixes.

Recovery, the pronominal, and the sports kick stay off the fee frame. Priberam senses 3 and 4 are getting back what was lost, or recovering strength. Aulete prints cobrar a liberdade, os bens and Cobrou ânimo. The pronominal is paying oneself or recovering oneself: Aulete cobrou-se usando suas reservas, Michaelis O duque cobrou-se com seus próprios bens, Priberam sense 8 retomar ânimo. It is not a passive of the fee. The sports sense is a direct object of the kick: Priberam cobrar um penálti, Aulete cobrar falta, escanteio, Michaelis O atacante cobrou o escanteio, Infopédia’s Brazilian sports sense with no clause. English charge someone with is charge_ACCUSE. English Charge the bill to my account is charge_ACCOUNT. Neither frame is printed on the cobrar articles opened here.

Examples

Argument difference. English charge someone X for Y leaves the Payer bare and can put that person beside the amount. Portuguese prints the Payer with a or with de, prints the amount as the direct object, and prints the service as por / pelo. The person and pelo are in different clauses in the sources. lhe of the Payer is unprinted. A bare person is the press reading in the Folha headlines, where por names what is pressed for and there is no amount object.
