Variationist Sociolinguistics and Construction Grammar: The Challenges And The Prospects Of Compatibilization

Vieira, Marcia dos Santos Machado ; Wiedemer, Marcos Luiz

Resumo:

In this chapter, we argue in favor of the description of the phenomenon of variation by similarity/synonymy in the context of Portuguese Construction Grammar through the compatibilizing of Sociolinguistics orientations and concepts to Usage-based Construction Grammar orientations and concepts. In order to collaborate to construct a socioconstructionist heuristic, we use two theoretical-methodological constructs: (i) variation by allostructions (CAPPELLE, 2006) in metaconstruction (or constructeme, according to PEREK, 2015); (ii) variation by symbolic similarity. We also associate the following concepts: (i) the variation and change theory restriction problem (WEIREINCH; LABOV; HERZOG, 1968) to the Usage-based Construction Grammar restriction or statistical preemption notions; (ii) restrictions or conditioning factors to (different or similar) factors/values involved in the formal and functional attributes of variant  (lexical or grammatical) constructional patterns/allostructions; (iii) independent variables and attributes.
