Summary: | This paper aims to describe and to analyze negative constructions in the speech of residents of the rural area of Piranga, Minas Gerais State. The selected constructions were: [Nao V], [Nao V Nao] and [V Nao]. The theoretical framework used to perform the work was the Quantitative Sociolinguistics. For purposes of description, we used two external factors: sex and age. From the corpus analysis and the comparison with other works about the negatives in the Mineiro Dialect--Camargos (1998), Alkmim (2001) and Sousa (2004)--it was found that the innovative variants [Nao V Nao] and [V nao] present a profile of a possible change in progress and that males would be taking forward this change. Keywords: negative constructions, linguistic variation, change in progress, sociolinguistics, mineiro dialect. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo descrever e analisar construcoes negativas na fala de moradores da zona rural do municipio de Piranga, estado de Minas Gerais. As construcoes selecionadas foram: [Nao V]; [Nao V Nao] e [V Nao]. O arcabouco teorico-metodologico utilizado para a realizacao do trabalho foi a Sociolinguistica. Para efeito de descricao, foram considerados dois fatores externos: o sexo e a faixa etaria. A partir da analise do corpus e da comparacao com outros trabalhos sobre as negativas no dialeto mineiro--Camargos (1998), Alkmim (2001) e Sousa (2004)--, verificou-se que as variantes inovadoras [Nao V Nao] e [V Nao] apresentam um perfil de uma possivel mudanca em progresso e que o sexo masculino estaria levando a frente esta mudanca. Palavras-chave: construcoes negativas, variacao linguistica, mudanca em progresso, sociolinguistica, dialeto mineiro. |
