Castro, Franklin Roosevelt M.de CastroTavares, Fabíola Pereira2020-09-222024-09-122020-09-212020-09-222019-08-03https://ri.uea.edu.br/handle/riuea/5411The main object of this research is to analyze the erasure of the phoneme / R / in the final position of words in the language spoken by residents of the Municipality of Maués. A theoretical-methodological path was developed seeking to structure and organize the ideas under study. The nature of the research is quantitative and as an approach method the inductive method was used, it is of a basic explanatory nature, the data were collected through interviews in which the identification of the phoneme / R / deletion at the end of words can occur. Theoretical support goes against Sociolinguistics, with theorists Labov (2008), Calvet (2002), Possenti (2002), Bagno (2009) and Bortoni-Ricardo (2009) who helped to better understand the studied theme. Through this research we can observe sociolinguistics as a fundamental role that leads us to understand the variations that occur in the language, such as the erasure of the phoneme / R / at the end of words in the speech of residents of Maués, which is also recurrent in the speech of almost all Portuguese speakers in Brazil.Acesso AbertoAtribuição-NãoComercial-SemDerivados 3.0 Brasilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/MauésSociolinguísticaVariação LinguísticaApagamentoFonema /R/Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso
