Grammaticalization of constructions, (Inter)subjectification, Verb ‘esperar”.Abstract
This paper intends to describe uses of the verb ‘esperar” in the Portuguese language, by assuming the hypothesis that the new grammaticalized uses would reveal an increasing way of (inter)subjectification. And it also assumes that this process would be related to the emergence of possible constructional patterns. In order to prove these hypotheses, we also accomplished a synchronic and diachronic survey that tried to demonstrate which uses would be earlier and [- (inter)subjective].
