This work aims to emphasize on the language preserved by the elderly, which consists of a dialectal variation that has fallen into disuse nowadays, but which reflects on a historical aspect, preserved by most of the elderly, in addition to identifying how the elderly deal with variations, as well as portraying the importance of respect for diachronic variations in a society that has a lot of linguistic prejudice. Therefore, it was necessary to enter this universe, using qualitative research, with dialectical approaches, and relying on bibliographic research, in addition to field research to understand and give veracity to the aforementioned issues. The theorists addressed reflect the literature emphasized in the research, among them: Brazil (1998); Bortoni-Ricardo (2004); Molica and Braga (2008) and others. The universe of this research is based on elderly people attending the CCI (Centro de Convivência do Idoso) in the Municipality of Maués/Am, in a sample of 20 elderly people, 10 female and 10 male.Acesso AbertoIdososVariaçãoPreconceitoTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
