Processos fonológicos por substituição ou transformação na fala de amapaenses: uma abordagem geossociolinguística

Abstract

The article aims to identify the phonological processes of substitution or transformation present in Amapá speaking from the database of the Atlas Linguistic Project of Amapá (ALAP). The description was made based on the postulates of Geossociolinguistics (RAZKY, 2010) that unites the methodological assumptions of Sociolinguistics with those of Geolinguistics. The methodology used corresponds to the parameters adopted by the ALAP project, with the selection of 10 locations in the state of Amapá, where 40 informants were interviewed. The phonetic items analyzed in this research were: assobio, passagem, homem, arroz, três, giz, caspa, paz, prateleira, caixa, tesoura, manteiga, ouvido, peixe, elefante, hóspede and muito. The results show the presence of the following phonological phenomena: degeneration, desnasalation, diphthongation, monotongation, metaphony and nasalation. Extralinguistic factors condition the presence of certain phonological phenomena in Amapá speech.
