Estudo Da Variação Linguística Dos Róticos No Falar Campineiro

Abstract

• ABSTRACT: This article presents the results of a research study that investigated a variation in a linguistic segment of the Campinas native accent found in the city of Campinas, SP, Brazil: the /R/ in the syllabic coda position. The hypothesis that guided this research is that the rhotic in the Campinas native accent is in a more advanced state in relation to its attenuation than in speech in other towns in the interior of São Paulo state, causing it to be either vocalized or erased. This attenuation would account for the auditory impression of the study's informants, who believe they utter a variation of /R/ assessed as "intermediate" and which they view as proper to Campinas native accent. The selected corpus comprises data collected from twelve informants from the interior of the state of São Paulo. The data were recorded and analyzed acoustically and statistically. The theoretical foundation adopted was that of Fant's (1970) Acoustic Theory of Speech Production in conjunction with a sociolinguistic framework. The results show that there is linguistic variation of the rhotic and that the most frequent variety is the caipira/R/. These findings contradict the alleged existence of an /R/ characteristic of Campinas native accent.

“…Por último, temos o processo de retroflexão, que consiste na transformação de um segmento fricativo ou vibrante em um segmento retroflexo, como o [ɻ], também conhecido como "r caipira". Tal variante também é vista de forma estigmatizada, como apontam Silva (2016), Amaral (1982) e Leite (2015). Este último realizou um estudo com cidadãos de Campinas-SP e constatou que o uso do retroflexo é majoritário, porém, é "renegado" pela maioria da população campineira.…”
