Abstract

Based on North American Functionalism and Variacionist Sociolinguistics theoretical assumptions we analyzed clausal modalization/evidential strategies of 1st singular person – specify “acho que” – in Itabaiana’s spoken and written language. In a quantitative approach data collected from GELINS data bank are analyzed. We conclude that “acho que” construction is in grammaticalization process: increased by frequency of use the construction takes on new semantic and functional features, becomes as opinion marker and a doubt marker.
