Description
Summary:This paper discusses the possibility of the application ofthe Lexical Diffussion model to a syntactic phenomenon. It shows the importance oflexical parameters, Formality and Frequency, as factors of implementation of "Queísmo" and "Dequeísmo" in Portuguese. Statistical results demonstrate that the two<br />processes are only apparently opposite in the system and that they are, in fact, closely related, so that we can consider them as the sarne variatrion focus in the<br />language.
