Abstract

We focuse on plural agreement within the Noun Phrase in urban varieties of Portuguese, in the light of Theory of Variation and Change assumptions (Weinreich, Labov, Herzog, 1968) and based on the speech of individuals with fundamental, medium and superior education level, distributed, yet, for three age groups and sex. We suggest that nominal agreement is a categorical rule in European Portuguese and a variable rule in Brazilian Portuguese and in Sao Tome Portuguese, although these two varieties tend to adopt the canonical plural marking. The variable rule implementation is strongly determined by the linear and relative position of the constituent within the Noun Phrase and dependent on the action of external factors, among which education level, that seems congregate different aspects that characterize individuals from social point of view.
名词短语中的一致模式
根据变异与变化理论(Weinreich, Labov, Herzog, 1968)的假设,我们将重点放在葡萄牙语城市变体名词短语中的复数一致性上,并基于具有基本,中等和高等教育水平的个人的讲话,分布在三个年龄组和性别中。我们认为名义一致在欧洲葡萄牙语中是一个绝对规则,在巴西葡萄牙语和圣多美葡萄牙语中是一个可变规则,尽管这两个品种倾向于采用规范的复数标记。变量规则的实施在很大程度上取决于名词短语中组成部分的线性和相对位置,并取决于外部因素的作用,其中教育水平似乎集中了从社会角度来看个体特征的不同方面。
