RESUMO:

Adjectives formed by suffix -vel in Brazilian Portuguese are the focus of this study, considering as a construction, such as form-meaning pairing. The main objective is to describe both formally and functionally the [X-vel]_Adjective Construction. Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso is being used as theoretical support, as shown by Cezario and Furtado da Cunha (2013), Oliveira and Rosário (2015). This research stream is the combination of US Functionalism (Givón, [1979] 2012, 1984, 1995, 2011; Hopper, 1991; Bybee 2006, 2010; Thompson, 2005) with Construction Grammar (Goldberg, 1995, 2003; Croft, 2001; Miranda and Salomão, 2009; Traugott and Trousdale, 2013). That investigation is based on the notion that languages consists of a hierarchal and interrelated construction network. For this, it is based on the methodological assumptions of qualitative research backed by quantitative research. The data collection is carried out mainly from Corpus Discurso e Gramática(Corpus D&G), that are composed of both oral and written texts, and subdivided into five text types, which were generated by informants from five Brazilian cities and with different levels of education. As preliminary results it was found predominance of verbal base constructs in relation to nominal base as well as higher frequency of instances of the construction focused on in oral texts. Moreover, some instances attest to presence of semantic extension process in using of this construction, whereby a common characteristic is observed: Non-agentivity of scene transitive participants, which relates to the degree of transitivity involved in the formation of adjectives with suffix -vel.
