Abstract

In this paper, we contribute to the debate and the strengthening of sociofunctionalist approach by discussing the effects of social factors on the emergence and regularization of linguistic phenomena. The non-significance of socioestilistic factors are tested based on grammaticalization of questions as strategies of textual organization. We verify if this is related to the stability of the
phenomena analyzed, or if it is an effect of a methodological constraint. Speech, writing and classroom situation data are analyzed. The quantitative results suggest that the corpus does not restrict the occurrence of the functions of questions, but it constrains gradations of frequency.
