| Resumo: | From the theoretical support provided by variationist sociolinguistics (LABOV, 2001a, 2008 [1972], 2010; TAGLIAMONTE, 2006, 2012), I analyze the variation between possessive pronouns SEU(S)/SUA(S) and DELE(A) in the expression of third person singular possession in Natal (RN), in Northeastern Brazil. The data sample is comprised of 40 spoken texts and 40 corresponding written texts which are part of the Corpus Discourse & Grammar (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998). These texts were collected in the last decade of the twentieth century from eight informants; four of them were high school students and four were undergraduate students. The data were submitted to multivariate statistical analysis. I aim to explore the phenomenon of variation and change in the third person singular possessive pronouns SEU(S)/SUA(S) and DELE(A) taking into consideration social and stylistic constrains on the usage of these pronouns in speech and writing. I hypothesize that the usage of the most formal third person possessive pronoun SEU(A)(S) is favored by written texts and by genres/types of text of non-narrative sphere, and is more frequent among women and younger and less educated individuals; in contrast, the usage of the most informal third person possessive pronoun DELE(A) is favored by spoken texts and by genres/types of text of narrative sphere, and is more frequent among men and older and more educated individuals. The results have confirmed these hypotheses and have shown that the variation between SEU(S)/SUA(S) and DELE(A) is mainly constrained by the stylistic factors linguistic channel and genre/type of text. |
