Abstract
RESUMO Este artigo apresenta, discute e exemplifica os rumos da pesquisa funcionalista em sua orientação mais recente, no diálogo com os estudos cognitivistas. Fruto dessa interrelação, destaca-se a abordagem construcional da gramática, na ênfase do pareamento função x forma que marca as expressões linguísticas. Além de apontar os ganhos teórico-metodológicos que tal diálogo tem trazido no âmbito do Funcionalismo, o artigo faz referência também às especificidades de ambas as vertentes teóricas e aos ajustes necessários a fim de que possam ser desenvolvidas pesquisas nessa interface. O tratamento da gramática em perspectiva holística e o rigor na detecção de propriedades de sentido e estrutura que marcam os usos linguísticos são considerados vieses positivos e promissores da pesquisa funcionalista de abordagem construcional.
Highlights
In recent years, the interface Functionalism x Cognitivism has called the attention of an increasing number of researchers
The class of the connectors is considered more advanced in the cline of linguistic change when compared to other classes of lexical type, such as nouns or verbs. We assume that this class is a channel for procedural and more abstract content, in the establishment of logical-textual relations and that results in constructional change or constructionalization
We argue that the cline of constructionalization of Aí está has been registered from at least the 15th century, in which we detected its normal context (DIEWALD, 2002), in which Loc and V preserve its source category traits, such as the following: (4) Capitolo XVIIIo como o comde pos primeiramemte as atallaias & em que lugares, & como os mouros vieram, & da escaramuça que hii ouve
Summary
■■ ABSTRACT: This paper presents, discusses and exemplifies the direction of the functionalist research in its most recent orientation, in its dialogue with cognitive studies. As a result of this interrelation, we highlight the constructional approach to grammar, emphasizing the function x form pairing, which marks the linguistic expressions. Besides pointing out the theoretical and methodological gains that such dialogue has brought to Functionalism, this article refers to the specificities of both theoretical approaches and to necessary adjustments to enable researches in this interface. The treatment of grammar in a holistic perspective and the strictness in detecting properties of meaning and structures, which mark linguistic usages, are considered positive and promising biases of functionalist research in a constructional approach.
