Esquematicidade e produtividade na reconfiguração da rede de conectores condicionais

“…É exatamente nesse contexto que se situa a Gramática de Construções e, de maior interesse aqui, a Abordagem Construcional da mudança linguística ou Gramática de Construções Diacrônica, conforme delineada por diversos autores como Traugott e Trousdale (2021), Hilpert (2021), Barðdal (2008), entre outros. Para a análise que apresentamos aqui, adotamos, especificamente, Traugott e Trousdale (2021).…”

“…Este trabalho se assenta nas bases teóricas da Abordagem Construcional da Mudança Linguística (TRAUGOTT; TROUSDALE, 2021;HILPERT, 2021;BARÐDAL, 2008;PEREK, 2016) e entende, como princípio básico, que a língua pode ser conceitualizada como uma rede de esquemas, subesquemas ou microconstruções organizados em diferentes níveis de abstração, que exibem diferentes graus de generalização, fixação e convencionalização que são, constantemente, alterados e reconfigurados pelo uso da língua. Os dados foram coletados em perspectiva diacrônica, no Córpus do Português (DAVIES; FERREIRA, 2005) e Banco Informatizado de Textos do Programa para a História da Língua Portuguesa (BIT-PROHPOR/UFBA, 2002).…”

“But I Hate Him Just the Same”: On the Rise of Concessive Markers with Same

“…In this paper I outline the history of the three same-concessive expressions from a diachronic constructionalist perspective (see Traugott & Trousdale 2013;Barðdal, Smirnova, Sommerer & Gildea 2015;Hilpert 2021;Traugott 2022aTraugott , 2022b. All three concessive uses arose in the Late Modern English period .…”

Interview with Elizabeth Closs Traugott and Graeme Trousdale

“…2022 not hold empirically (cf. BÖRJARS; VINCENT and WALKDEN, 2015;HILPERT, 2021). How do you see the impact of the T&T 2013 proposal on diachronic studies in construction grammar and how your current studies have benefited from the dialogue with people who are thinking about linguistic change in Construction Grammar, especially regarding the constructionalization approach?…”
