In the present study, we describe the syntactic-semantic behavior of the verb levar, using as corpus chronicles issued in 2016 on the website “Crônicas do Dia”. We analyzed the functions taken by this verb from a continuum of use which lets us understand its functional changes. From this analysis, we determined that: the verb levar integrates a continuum begining with the uses which denote its function +concrete, full verb typical property, and which amplifies itself with diversified uses, including, among them, those indicating grammaticalizated functions, in which the verb levar plays the role of verb-support and of auxiliary verb.
KEYWORDS: Verb take. Uses. Grammaticalization. Funcionalism.
