Acesso em:.1982-5374https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/12737This paper is the result of a local research conducted in the municipality called Santarém/PA, with the objective to describe and analyze the alternation TU/VOCÊ in oral texts of speakers from Santarém. Data were collected through asystematic observations. We use theoretical assumptions of sociolinguistics, more specifically, the theory of linguistic variation. We countersigned our research with data from some studies on the subject which include several Brazilian cities, demonstrating the varied use of pronouns used in Brazil. Our data consists of 110 occurrences of “TU”, “VOCÊ”, and variant “CÊ”, produced by 21 informers. It was considered in our analysis of the variables sex, age and relationship between the interlocutors. We noticed, in our corpus, which of these pronouns the most used by natives from Santarém is “TU”, which expresses solidarity and intimacy among the speakers. Although, the pronoun “VOCÊ” indicates formality and politeness.Acesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/TuVocêVariação linguísticaTextos oraisLinguistic variationOral textsArtigo de Periódico10.18542/rmi.v6i7.2825
