MERCADO LINGUÍSTICO: UMA INTERPRETAÇÃO DA IMBRICADA RELAÇÃO ESTRUTURA LINGUÍSTICA E ESTRUTURA SOCIAL

Abstract

This article is the result of an analysis of the alternation between verbal forms on conditional sentences headed by the conjun ction -SE and that rest under the notion of the irrealis (GIVÓN, 1995). Ex.: Se eu tivesse dinheiro, compraria/comprava/ia comprar/iria comprar uma. Based on the principles of Variationist Sociolinguistics (WEINREICH; LABOV; HE RZOG 1968, LABOV 1972, 1994, 2001),the results show that the use of the im perfect has often advanced. ∗ Mestranda do Programa de Pós-graduação em Linguísti ca e Língua Portuguesa, Universidade Estadual Paulista “Júlio de Mesquita F ilho” UNESP, Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Araraquara – FclAr, Araraquara , São Paulo, Brasil.

W e seek, with our reflections, to point and reinforce the intimate relationship betwe en linguistic structure and social structure, as well as the heterogeneity inherent in languages.
