abstract = "Focusing on the representation of language change, I argue that language change is representable only through its interpretation. I briefly describe the diachrony of two Portuguese {\textquoteleft}past{\textquoteright} verbal paradigms – the {\textquoteleft}future in the past{\textquoteright} (conditional) and the {\textquoteleft}past in the past{\textquoteright} (pluperfect) – emphasizing the interpretation of some aspects of their evolutions as the result of {\textquoteleft}competition{\textquoteright}, which determines the manifestations of change as persistence vs. obsolesce tendencies.
