Abstract

This paper investigates patterns of use of LocV construction in expressions such
as “ aí está” and “lá vai”. We intend to validate a possible joint which is more grammatical and conveyed by this constructional scheme. The research is qualitative, based on linguistic Functionalism, according to Traugott and Dasher (2005), Cunha et alli (2003), among others, from the study of grammaticalization and metaphorical and metonymic extension mechanisms as well as the cognitive approach of the construction grammar especially in Croft (2001), in the study of the symbolic structure construction.
