Description:ENGLISH: In Trumai, there are three types of locative constructions: (i) a construction with a positional verb, such as 'sit', 'lie', 'stand'; (ii) a copular construction; (iii) a zero-copula construction. This article analyses the relationship between these constructions and how they code spatial information. ----- PORTUGUÊS: Em Trumai, há três tipos de construções locativas: (i) uma construção com um verbo posicional, como 'estar sentado', 'estar deitado', 'estar em pé'; (ii) um construção com um cópula; (iii) uma construção sem cópula. Este artigo analisa a relação entre essas construções e como elas codificam informação espacial.
