“…Furthermore, subjects without a plural marker on the last element tend to trigger unmarked plural verbs. These effects have been described in detail in the relevant literature on Brazilian Portuguese for the last 30 years, in articles published in Language (Naro 1981), Language Variation and Change (Scherre and Naro 1991, 1992, Naro and Scherre 1996a, Scherre 2001) and in Selected Papers from NWAV 8 (Scherre 1981, Guy 1981, NWAV 23 (Naro and Scherre 1996b), NWAV 38 (Scherre and Naro 2010).…”

Variable agreement in Brazilian Portuguese is subject to social stigma, under strongly negative evaluation, brought to the public's attention in 2011 in a heated nation-wide sociolinguistic debate triggered by TV Globo, the principal national television network. In order to isolate objective factors underlying this debate, we examine the variable 'years of schooling' in a trend study of Rio de Janeiro speech from 1980 and 2000. Analysis of relative weights and their corresponding ranges reveals that distance between effects of each level of education has increased over time. Polarization of the education variable in 1980 was moderate, while in 2000 polarization becomes extreme in an increasingly uneven social distribution of marked forms. The results reveal massive exacerbation of sociolinguistic apartheid, showing that nothing has changed in human interaction with respect to language despite many years of language studies. For this reason, we suggest that our sociolinguistic studies ought to trigger legal action, with creation of laws against linguistic prejudice, modeled on laws against other forms of prejudice, so that society can profit from results of sociolinguistic research in a humanistic and emancipatory way.

“…Um outro procedimento tradicional nos estudos sobre a variação PL no SN no PB é a análise do efeito da presença de outras marcas de PL no SN, anteriores ao item em análise (SCHERRE, 1988(SCHERRE, , 1989(SCHERRE, , 2001). Esses estudos encontram uma maior probabilidade de marcação de PL nos itens precedidos de outros itens com marca de PL.…”

Organizado pelos professores Dante Lucchesi e Ilza Ribeiro, da Universidade Federal da Bahia, e pelo professor Allan Baxter, da Universidade de Macau, teve a colaboração de vários autores, professores de outras universidades do mesmo Estado, além de mestres, doutores e pós-graduandos, em geral oriundos daquela mesma universidade, integrantes do grupo de pesquisa ali constituído, e que vêm se dedicando ao estudo da realidade lingüística brasileira. Baseado na análise de amostras da fala de algumas comunidades rurais afro-brasileiras isoladas, no caso, quatro comunidades do Estado da Bahia - Helvécia, Cinzento, Rio de Contas e Sapé -, o livro apresenta os resultados obtidos pela aplicação de modelos teóricos que transitam da gerativa, de princípios e parâmetros, à sociolingüística variacionista, dentro daquela linha fecunda inaugurada pelo Prof. Tarallo nos anos oitenta.Dividido em duas partes, são apresentados, na primeira, os fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos nos quais se baseou a pesquisa e também o contexto sócio histórico das comunidades analisadas. Na segunda parte, são isolados dezesseis 'pontos-diagnósticos' (apropriando-me da expressão utilizada pelo Professor Aryon Rodrigues em sua análise comparativa das línguas tupi-guarani), pelos quais se pode tanto esboçar um retrato das variedades vernáculas das comunidades pesquisadas, quanto levantar hipóteses, já mais bem fundadas, sobre a história do contato do português com as línguas africanas em território brasileiro.

Portuguese or Portuñol? Language contact in Misiones, Argentina

In the extreme northeastern Argentine province of Misiones, vernacular Portuguese is the primary language of many rural communities, in bilingual contact with Spanish. The present study examines data from Misiones Portuguese and Spanish for evidence of morphosyntactic convergence in the absence of formal schooling in either language or sociolinguistic pressures to produce canonical varieties. Data from a corpus of vernacular Misiones Portuguese and the results of a speeded translation task reveal that even in this sociolinguistically permissive environment bilingual speakers maintain distinct morphosyntactic systems for Portuguese and Spanish (exemplified by nominal plural marking and first-person plural verbal inflection). The data also suggest that bilingual contact alone does not yield the degree of convergence required for the hybrid Portuguese-Spanish morphosyntaxis that has been reported, for example, in northern Uruguay.
