Acesso em: 18 ago 2020.1808-835Xhttps://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/29853In this paper, we discuss the concept of construction according to Goldberg (1995, 2006) and Croft (2001) constructionist perspective. In this direction, first we deal with aspects related to the nature and the properties of constructions; after that, we concentrate on issues that have to do with the relation form-function, more precisely, the tension between arbitrariness and iconicity and to the status of these two components of constructions. From a theoretical and methodological point of view, we are founded on the recent trend of approach called Usage-based (Functional) Linguistics, which is characterized by the connection between North-American Functionalism and Construction Grammar, as we can see in Cezario e Furtado da Cunha (2013), Oliveira e Rosário (2015).
