This work aims to present the description of the change that influenced the transition of pronominal clitic SE to affixed clitic SE, in this context of use of non-action verbs, recognizing the degree of transitivity as a factor for the explanation of this grammaticalization process by decategorization. To describe the change, which had a category evolve to another, has generated difficulties in explaining it from other perspectives, which does not disconsider the level of transitivity as a criterion for this description. The examples for this analysis were taken from written records of public hearings, available in the Corpus Brasileiro v. 2.3, available on https://www.linguateca.pt. In this corpus, the frequency of affixed clitic SE has a relevant occurrence and instigates the description of the change that resulted in the evolution of the more grammatical category to the even more grammatical category. Hopper & Thompson (1980) are for scalar character of transitivity connected to syntactic and semantic factors and include interference of discursive factors in the transitivity mechanism. Hopper (1981) explains that changes in lexic come from a process of abstraction of a grammatical item from a lexical item and mentions the principle of decategorization as a type of change from a category to another. Givón (2001) clarifies that the lexicon is a component of human communication and takes on two perspectives: how it builds itself from a new vocabulary and how it is matched to discuss. Lexicon is not just a place for storing semantic properties that define its performance in the general structure of the semantic fields, but also a unity of organization of propositions and discursive motivations. Garcia (2004) proposes a typology for the semantic types of verbs in which non-action verbs can be visualized in the type he coined as relational, with action verbs being observed in the type he considers active. Catilho (2010) mentions the procliticization of unstressed pronouns integrating with words as a prefix. This analysis, based on functional transitivity factor, demonstrates that clitic SE with nonaction verbs is used as a subcategory of affix and not as a subcategory of pronouns and does not act as a direct object accordingly to its origin in double accusative (SESE). The clitic SE in the affix subcategory, then, is the result of a process of ecategorization. This change is affected by a unidirectional path and includes functional transitivity in the grammaticalization process, in which syntactic, semantic and discursive factors contribute to explain the description of the change, which influenced the transition from the pronominal SE clitic to the affixed clitic SE.
