A sínclise dos substantivos pessoais átonos no português oral culto de Fortaleza: aspectos sociolinguísticos

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the relation between extra linguistic factors (sex, age and register) and the intercalation of a pronoun in a word in PORCUFORT. From this analysis of this corpus was evident that such factors do not influence the personal substantives’ behavior. This work is also about a review of many opinions from studies about features that mark a specific group of words named pronouns by traditional grammarians and many linguists. We tried to analyze a great number of opinions to make sure in which measurement the pronominal class is characterized, especially personal pronouns. A point to emphasize is the use of deixis as a pronominal mark, that is, we consider that all the words that belong to this class works as signals, of discursive and pragmatic entities. We adopted, then, a new perspective with base in Lhorach, who undoes the idea of the existence of an autonomous class of pronouns, redistributing the terms that belongs traditionally to this class into noun and adjective. The personal pronouns would be personal substantives in this approach.
