OLIVEIRA, Mariangela Rios de  e  BATOREO, Hanna. GRAMMATICAL CONSTRUCTIONS WITH LOCATIVE PRONOUNS (LOC) OF THE LOCVANDVLOCTYPE IN EP AND BP: CORRESPONDENCES AND DISTINCTIONS. Lingüística [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.2, pp.171-208. ISSN 2079-312X.

In the present paper we aim to analyse Portuguese verbal expressions formed with locative pronouns that are part of the discursive markers formed with constructional patterns of either the LocV type, as in aí vem (lit. 'here it comes'), or of the VLoc type, as in olha aí (lit. 'look here'). The study is carried out on the basis of contemporary Portuguese language corpora, both EP and BP, and with the theoretical background of language-in-use orientation of both Cognitive Linguistics and Functional Linguistics, as postulated in Traugott and Trousdale (2013), Bybee (2010) and Goldberg (2006), among others. The results indicate that the grammaticalization of the two types of constructions in the two main national varieties of Portuguese shares the same constructional patterns but varies according to the language usage in a given variety, showing different rhythms of grammaticalization changes due to  different structural and pragmatical motivations
