Muito além da flexão: um enfoque funcionalista do item linguístico meio no vernáculo conquistense e em livros didáticos de português

Abstract

The linguistic item “meio” takes various functions throughout its trajectory in the Portuguese Language. Interviews extracted from the corpus of Cultured Portuguese from Vitória da Conquista point out the various uses of this word. In the Portuguese language textbooks, however, the discursive and textual values that are their own, and which tend to be held in the language, are despised, and attention is only given to the grammatical categorization and the notion recommended by formal education of stigmatized form or error.
