Note the following sentence:
Communication is an inherent characteristic of all beings, allowing them to live in society.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with the phrase, but if you are an attentive reader and student of the language Portuguese, possibly realized that there is a linguistic deviation related to the regency. verbal. This type of slip is very common in the written and oral modality (without prejudice to communication in the latter), given that conducting is a chapter, let's say, a little complicated in our grammar.
To go ahead with our explanation, let's go to the correction of the sentence:
Communication is an inherent characteristic of all beings, what allows them live in society.
If you haven't noticed the error before, you certainly have now. The difficulty revolves around the regency of the verb “to allow”. In the first sentence (the one with the deviation), the unstressed oblique pronoun 'you' replaced the also oblique pronoun 'them', causing a serious conducting error. Let's analyze the phrase:
The communication allows something or something to someone. In this case, the communication will allow something, that is, human beings live in society. Therefore, the verb to allow é indirect transitive, thus requiring an indirect object. For indirect transitive verbs, we must use the unstressed oblique pronoun 'you' (which acts as an indirect object) and leave the unstressed oblique pronoun 'o' only for verbs that require a direct object. See the examples:
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
Students will have classes on traffic education, which will allow them better driving behavior.
His chronicles are among the best known to readers. Luis Fernando Verissimo write them with humor and intelligence.
We must listen to our parents, owing them obedience and respect.
I love my children. I love them with tenderness.
Summarizing:
Indirect transitive verbs receive complements, called indirect objects. They will require a preposition, which will be responsible for the verbal Regency. The personal pronouns of the third person oblique case 'you' and 'them' they can act as indirect objects, replacing people. Example: The teacher allowed the exit of the student / The teacher you allowed the exit.
