Abstract

In this article we analyze the grammaticalization of “vá lá” and “vamos lá” in specific contexts, in wich meaning and form of verb and locative constitutes the most basic unit - a construction - from the perspective of Croft (2001). The grammaticalization approach and language change are combined with the constructions theories from the routinization of these usage patterns in order to form a cline of semantic-syntactic integration.
