Construcciones fraseológicas y frasemas gramaticales con ni incoordinado
Constructional idioms and grammatical phrasemes with ni incoordinated

Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to understand and organize the structural network regarding niunconjunctive, which, in spite of having been studied a lot, is still posing issues of concern, and this is intended to be attempted from the perspective of constructionist approaches. With both a synthetic and analytical spirit, this contribution is structured in three parts. The first part revolves around the constructions, understood in the sense of Construction Grammar as “conventional, learned form-function pairings at varying levels of complexity and abstraction” (Goldberg, “Constructionist Approaches”, p. 17). Within a current phraseology which is increasingly concerned about the constructions, the concepts of constructional idioms and grammatical phrasemes will be explained. These concepts will be needed for understanding phraseological and lexically full constructions, with or without conjunctive. ni- will be analysed as a grammatical phraseme, responsible for the form and function of these constructions through their procedural condition, and in which the residue of their conjunctive condition persists. Intended for those constructions containing the ni-unconjunctive, the denomination of incoordination following the model of insubordination constructions with subordinate conjunctions, such as si or que, which does not depend on any head, will be proposed. This theoretical framework will help us, in the last part, to discuss a reality that is shown to be complex because of two related issues: the nature of ni and the continuity of the constructions involved, between themselves and with the constructions consisting of the conjunctive ni.
