Fijación fraseológica de construcciones con contenido procedimental
Phraseological fixation of constructions with procedural meaning

Summary/Abstract: Some expressions are fixed in their use as phraseological units with procedural content. In the utterance they develop functions related to the relationship with the context and the participants in the interaction. In this work, some of them are described from a macro-syntactic and constructional grammar perspective (mira qué bien, como si lo viera, como si nada). They derive from Spanish constructions that have already acquired that procedural content and act as a group. Whether they have advanced in the process and can already be considered as discursive operators will be checked. The results provided by the analysis are as follows: mira qué bien and como si lo vieras appear in a dialogical context as a response. In monological contexts, the use as a reinforcing commentary on the right margin is predominant. Como si nada acts as an argumentative element and combines its function as a verbal modifier with those in which it constitutes the complete predication. This research shows the need to take into account the fixation of constructions in the evolution of markers and at the same time extend the concept of the phraseological unit to those expressions with procedural meaning, adopting a modular and gradual perspective in which syntax and semantics go together and contribute to the description of the discourse.
