Abstract

This paper probes into the Portuguese causal constructions with porque (because) under the Used-Based Linguistics. They are described both semantic-pragmatically and syntactically from a diachronic approach, thus considering a pairing of form and function. --- DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22409/cadletrasuff.2017n55a516
