Abstract

In this paper, I analyze some aspects related to the grammaticalization of the coordinating conjunctions. Assuming that cognitive and pragmatic factors interact to create new grammatical items and adopting a coordination approach supported by functional-semantic criteria, I reconstruct the evolutionary-historical course of the Portuguese conclusive conjunction logo from Portuguese historical sources.
