De predicado verbal a marcador discursivo: contextos de uso de “Olha aqui” no português brasileiro contemporâneo

Abstract

Founded on Usage-Based Functional Linguistics, we present a synchronous study beyond usage contexts of olha aqui, in terms of Diewald (2002; 2006). Therefore, we lean over the verbal predication microconstruction [olha (x) aqui] and also the transient usages which culminate on construtionality relationship (ROSÁRIO; LOPES, 2019) among the discoursive marker micro construction [olha aqui] and the discoursive bookmark network of [VLoc]. We aimed to raise and described interpretively our data, verify contextual aspects, mapping oral and written modality occurrences, beyond the meaning and form properties of the focused micro constructions. We carried out a quali-quantitative analysis with extracted texts from NURC/RJ database - “Projeto da Norma Urbana Oral Culta do Rio de Janeiro e do banco de dados Corpus do Português”, which gave us a number of 212 tokens arranged on four contexts of usage. Thereby, we verified usage context coexistence instanced by olha aqui, which evidence language gradient, in terms of Bybee (2016), and also that such contexts are typically from orality.
