Functional control of sequence, Brazilian and European Portuguese.Abstract
In this paper I approach the function I designated "retroactive-propelling sequenciation", which is responsible for establishing a link between a past and a future statement. Through the combination of theoretical presuppositions from the Variationist Theory and Linguistic Functionalism, l analyze the speech sequence items 'e', 'aí', 'dai', 'então' and 'portanto' in Brazilian and European Portuguese as variants, trying to verify how they are affected by groups of linguistic and social factors. The results are obtained through quantitative analysis and allow me to assume the hypothesis that the functional control of sequence is following along different paths in Brazilian and European Portuguese.
