Resumo: This paper investigates the metaphorical nature of the Superlative Construction of Body Expression, [Xv de YN/V] (“[ele] quase morreu de vergonha numa tarde de conversas”; “Padre Dito quase estourou de rir”; “O Lúcio rolou de rir com a explicação”), from a cognitive and constructionist perspective. Given the centrality of “language in use” within the theoretical and analytical model adopted, a corpus-based approach was chosen. The corpus used was the Corpus do Português, composed of forty-five million words, allocated in texts of the XIV-XX centuries. The analysis, in general, points to the articulation of different cognitive categories in the institution of the construction pattern being investigated; the semantic reanalysis of the element allocated in X – a full meaning verb – as a scalar operator, in the context of the construction; and the centrality of metaphor in the institution of grammatical patterns.Key words: Portuguese grammar, metaphor, degree-modifier constructions.

Dada a centralidade do uso no modelo teórico-analítico adotado, opta-se por uma análise baseada em corpus. O corpus utilizado é o Corpus do Português, composto por 45 milhões de palavras, de textos dos séculos XIV-XX. As análises, de maneira geral, apontam para a articulação de diferentes categorias cognitivasna instituição do padrão construcional sob estudo; a reanálise do elemento alocado em X – um verbo pleno – como um operador escalar, no contexto da construção; e a centralidade da metáfora na instituição de padrões gramaticais.Palavras-chave: gramática do português, metáfora, construções modificadoras de grau.Unisinos2012-11-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/2426Calidoscópio; Vol. 10 No. 3 (2012): September/December; 301-309Calidoscópio; v. 10 n. 3 (2012): Setembro/Dezembro; 301-3092177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosporhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/2426/1286Costa, Igor OliveiraMiranda, Neusa Saliminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-12-27T19:09:19Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/2426Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2012-12-27T19:09:19Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
