Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to present and apply the proposal for the analysis of nanosteps (ROSA, 2019), that is, gradual changes, in form or content, that occurred in a same context of construction change. To this end, the object of study selected is the refraining argumentative discourse marker micro-construction calma aí. Inserted in the scope of Cognitive-Functional Linguistics or Usage-Based Functional Linguistics, such treatment has as its fundamental theoretical bases the constructionalist approach (TRAUGOTT; TROUSDALE, 2013) and the principles of linguistic change contexts (DIEWALD, 2002, 2006; DIEWALD; SMIRNOVA, 2012). As this is part of a broader panchronic research, this work contains data collected in the Diário do Congresso Nacional, with publications from the 20th and 21st centuries. It appears that the analysis through the examination of nano-steps provides more accurate verification of processes, such as metonymization and metaphorization, which result in constructional change. In addition, it is possible to identify more precisely the characteristics of the form (syntactic, morphological and phonological) and the content (semantic, pragmatic and discursive) of the construction at each stage of change.
