The cognitive functional approach adopted here considers the change as a proper and inherent phenomenon of language and understands the linguistic phenomenon as resulting from effective use of language. Another aspect to be considered to the realization of this study is the fact that the formation adjective + ly is a word construction mechanism really productive, which generates interests on linguistic description. In a particular way, our leading objective is to exam the constructions with adverbials in ly in the context of language in use, in its oral and written forms, looking for to apprehend the meaning multiple manifestations forged in the use. Bearing this in mind, we worked with data from the Corpus Discurso & Gram?tica (Natal). There are, in the data, adverbs ended in ly that take the signification of mode, as foreseen in traditional models, but there are also other significations, for instance, the modalizador in its different manifestations. The results show that this adverb is a linguistic mark that carries in its constitution the multiss?mico and multifunctional character, which interferes extremely in the ordination of this category, assuming a position sometimes pre-verbal, sometimes post-verbal. Other aspect observed refers to the relationship between the adverb and the verb, with emphasis on the compatibility or restriction between them, option which is related to the semantic aspect. The data in analysis legitimate the use in different constructions with adverb ended in ly in various genres, as follows: personal experience narrative, retold narrative, local description, proceeding account, opinion account, both in oral as in written language / A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar as constru??es com adverbiais em mente , sob o enfoque do funcionalismo ling??stico contempor?neo, tal como proposto por Giv?n, Hopper, Thompson, Traugott, Furtado da Cunha, bem como sob a no??o cognitivista da linguagem atrav?s do suporte da gram?tica de constru??o nos moldes de Goldberg e a teoria dos prot?tipos. A abordagem cognitivo-funcional aqui adotada considera a mudan?a como fen?meno pr?prio e inerente ?s l?nguas, al?m de entender o fen?meno ling??stico como resultante do uso efetivo da l?ngua. Outro aspecto a considerar para a realiza??o desta pesquisa ? o fato de a forma??o adjetivo + mente ser um mecanismo de constitui??o de palavras bastante produtivo, o que gera interesse na descri??o ling??stica. De forma particular, o objetivo norteador ? examinar as constru??es com adverbiais em mente no contexto da l?ngua em uso, na forma oral e escrita, buscando apreender as m?ltiplas manifesta??es de sentido forjadas no uso. Para este fim, lan?amos m?o de dados provenientes do Corpus Discurso & Gram?tica (Natal). Nos dados encontram-se adv?rbios terminados em mente que assumem a significa??o de modo, como previsto nos moldes tradicionais, mas tamb?m outras significa??es, como por exemplo o modalizador em suas diferentes manifesta??es. Os resultados alcan?ados demonstram que esse adv?rbio ? uma marca ling??stica que carrega em sua constitui??o o car?ter multiss?mico e o multifuncional, o que interfere sobremaneira na ordena??o dessa categoria, assumindo posi??o ora pr?-verbal, ora p?s-verbal. Outro aspecto observado refere-se ao relacionamento do adv?rbio com o verbo, com destaque para a compatibilidade ou a restri??o entre eles, op??o que se vincula ao aspecto sem?ntico. Os dados em an?lise legitimam o uso de diferentes constru??es com adv?rbio terminado em mente em diversos g?neros textuais, quais sejam a narrativa de experi?ncia pessoal, narrativa recontada, descri??o de local, relato de procedimento e relato de opini?o, tanto na l?ngua oral, quanto na escrita
