ABSTRACT:The present study focuses on the use of discourse markers afinal and enfim based on data of Corpus do Português DaviesFerreira. First we offer a brief presentation on discourse markers. In a second step, we list the most common uses of the markers discussed in this study, and later we approach their diachronic development. These are followed by an analysis of the data, whose purpose is to compare the number of uses of afinal and enfim with a justificative reading, a use the two markers share. Through the analysis, we found, among other results, that: a) the frequency of both markers decreased from the 19 th to the 20 th century; b) the marker enfim with a justificative reading, which was more frequent than afinal with the same value in the 19 th century, was surpassed in frequency by afinal in the 20 th century. The greater frequency of the justificative afinal in relation to enfim in the 20 th century is in accordance with the Principle of Contrast, postulated by Clark (1980).
Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar nove pesquisas variacionistas sobre elevação das vogais médias postônicas no Sul do Brasil, com vistas à generalização de resultados. Pautamo-nos, para tal, na proposta de Bailey e Tillery (2004), de acordo com a qual resultados distintos em estudos sobre um mesmo fenômeno podem refletir diferenças referentes à origem dos dados, à constituição da amostra e às estratégias analíticas adotadas. Levando em consideração esses três aspectos, foi possível encontrar resultados generalizáveis para a regra variável de elevação das vogais médias postônicas no Sul do Brasil.
