Collocations of the type venirle en voluntad, a constructional pattern that seemed to be productive in the Middle Ages, fell out of use and became lexicalized in the Golden Age, leaving behind only fossilized relics such as venirle en gana(s). The loss of this pattern involved two related changes that are discussed within Traugott and Trousdale’s (2013) diachronic model: the obsolescence and lexical constructionalization of a constructional subschema.
