Este artigo tem um objectivo duplo. Um é argumentar sobre a necessidade de integrar sistematicamente a variação linguística e a metodologia do corpus acompanhada de métodos quantitativos e de análise estatística no estudo cognitivo da linguagem, tal como tem sido desenvolvido pela Linguística Cognitiva. O outro, e mais importante, é apresentar um programa de sociolinguística cognitiva do português europeu e brasileiro centrado na questão da convergência e divergência entre as duas variedades nacionais nos últimos 50 anos. Primeiramente, assinalaremos duas tensões no desenvolvimento actual da Linguística Cognitiva (uma no objecto e outra no método) e mostraremos como é que a sua perspectiva baseada no uso implica integrar e complementar o objecto social e a metodologia empírica. A seguir, identificaremos os contributos específicos da emergente Sociolinguística Cognitiva e do método dos perfis onomasiológicos para o estudo da variação linguística. Finalmente, apresentaremos os resultados da nossa investigação sociolexicológica sobre convergência e divergência nos vocabulários do futebol e do vestuário – as duas variedades convergem no futebol e divergem no vestuário – e indicaremos as extensões desta primeira fase da investigação para os domínios das palavras funcionais e das variáveis não-lexicais.
The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First it argues the case for systematic integration of language variation and corpus-based methodology with its accompanying methods of quantitative and statistical analysis in the cognitive study of language, as it has been occurring in Cognitive Linguistics. The second and most important goal is to present a program for Cognitive Sociolinguistics of European and Brazilian Portuguese, centered in the issue of convergence and divergence between the two national varieties in the past 50 years. First, we will highlight two instances of tension in the current stage of the development of Cognitive Linguistics (one focus of tension on the object and the other on the methodology). Then we will show how its usage-based perspective implies to integrate and to correlate a social object and an empirical methodology. We will then identify specific contributions of the emergent Cognitive Sociolinguistics and onomasiological profile-based methodology to the study of language variation. Finally, we will show the results of our sociolexicological research about convergence and divergence in the vocabulary of football and clothing – the two national varieties converge for football and diverge for clothing – and we point out the extension of this first stage of research to the domains of functional words and non-lexical variables.
