Abstract

In this paper, we intend to study the integration between semantic maps modality, understood as tools for synchronic and diachronic description, and an approach to the grammar of constructions. An analysis exercise is proposed for a Portuguese modal construction, pode ser. The research examines Portuguese texts from the 12th and 20th centuries. Different modal semantic connectivity maps are analyzed, and it is postulated that the model of Narrog (2012) is compatible with the hypothesized developments towards intersubjectivity (TRAUGOTT; DASHER, 2002; TRAUGOTT, 2010). The compatibility between these approaches and the proposal for constructional change by Traugott and Trousdale (2021) is then examined.
Keywords: semantic maps; modality; construction grammar; poder.
