Abstract

This paper aims to provide a Labovian sociolinguistic description of 3rd person plural patterns of agreement in European (EP), Brazilian (BP) and Sao Tome (STP) Portuguese based on very recent samples of speech stratified for age, sex/gender and education. Linguistic and social restrictions for the variation are investigated. Results from statistical analysis indicate that there are two patterns of agreement in Portuguese: a semi-categorical rule, typical of EP, and a variable rule, typical of BP and STP, restricted by specific linguistic and social factors. Additionally, the results indicate that general linguistic constraints – such as the position of the subject, semantic feature of the subject or even discursive parallelism – cannot say anything about historical origin of Portuguese varieties, since they can be concerned with any language. Therefore, besides the quantitative expression of non-agreement, the quality of the occurrences of non-plural marking may support the characterization of each variety.
第三人称复数口头一致的模式
本文旨在基于最近的年龄、性别/性别和教育程度分层的语言样本,对欧洲(EP)、巴西(BP)和圣多美(STP)葡萄牙语中第三人称复数的一致模式进行Labovian社会语言学描述。语言和社会限制的变化进行了调查。统计分析结果表明,葡萄牙语的一致性有两种模式:一种是半绝对规则,典型的EP规则;另一种是可变规则,典型的BP和STP规则,受特定语言和社会因素的限制。此外,研究结果表明,一般的语言限制——比如主语的位置、主语的语义特征,甚至是话语的平行性——并不能说明葡萄牙语变体的历史起源,因为它们可以与任何语言有关。因此,除了不一致性的定量表达外,非复数标记出现的质量可以支持每个品种的表征。
