Por onde transitam o tu e o você no nordeste?

Abstract

In this text we focus on the distribution of personal second-person singular pronouns in the position of subject in several research in the Northeast region of Brazil, with discussion about six subsystems made by Scherre et al. (2015) and over interactional aspects due to the type of data collection. We based our work on the map design of the second person pronouns by Scherre et al. (2015), the reflections of Scherre and Andrade (2019), the redesign of the map by Scherre, Andrade and Catão (2020) and Scherre’s presentation (2020) at the V Forum for Ceará Linguistic Studies (FELCE), from various analysis made by Brazilian researchers up to 2020. We present a new map of the Northeast region with average percentages of use of você, cê, ocê, tu without agreement and tu with agreement and we insert it into the map for Brazil. We call on the researchers to produce new data analysis in natural conversations so that we can organize the distribution of second-person singular pronouns in a map closer to the complex Brazilian geographical reality, as well as understand precisely its several discursive hues.
