Idiomatic constructions, Verb pagar (to pay), Cognitive Grammar, Brazilian PortugueseAbstract
In this paper, with the theoretical support of Cognitive Linguistics, more specifically, Cognitive Grammar, we analyze occurrences, in Brazilian Portuguese, of idiomatic constructions with the verb pagar (to pay) collected on different internet sites with the help of the Google search tool. As a result, (i) we demonstrate that such idiomatic constructions result from the schematic construction NP TRANSFER NP TO NP which, in turn, comes from an even more schematic construction NP V NP SPREP; (ii) we explain the peculiarities in the use of these constructions as well as the relationships they maintain among themselves with regard to the chain of meanings and contexts related to the emergence of these constructions; (iii) we formulated the constructional network of the verb pagar (to pay) containing referred constructions.
