O papel da frequência lexical em fenômenos fonológicos condicionados morfologicamente do português brasileiro

De Bona, Camila January 2018 (has links)
Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o papel da frequência lexical em dois fenômenos fonológicos variáveis que apresentam condicionamentos morfológicos, quais sejam Redução da Nasalidade e Apagamento de /r/ Final, no intuito de verificar: 1) a interação de frequência lexical com variáveis linguísticas; 2) a interação de frequência lexical com variáveis sociais; 3) o melhor modelo, se abstracionista ou exemplarista, para tratar dos resultados aqui obtidos. Para a redução da nasalidade, reanalisamos dados de Schwindt e Bopp da Silva (2010), adicionando a informação de frequência lexical para a análise dos dados; para o fenômeno de apagamento de /r/ final, novos dados foram coletados de entrevistas com informantes do Rio de Janeiro. A informação de frequência lexical dos dados foi obtida do corpus de referência ASPA (Avaliação Sonora do Português Atual). Nossos resultados apontam que frequência lexical apresenta correlação positiva com a aplicação dos fenômenos, estando condicionada à classe gramatical, não à estrutura morfológica interna da palavra. Idade apresenta uma interação bastante significativa em dados de redução da nasalidade, principalmente na classe de não verbos sem gem. A mesma interação com idade não foi encontrada no fenômeno de apagamento de /r/. Uma explicação para isso talvez esteja relacionada com a caracterização de frequência de type e frequência de token. Tendo em vista que, na análise de frequência lexical, regras relativas à morfologia interna à palavra e à fonologia parecem não ser determinantes na aplicação dos fenômenos, defendemos neste trabalho a superioridade das abordagens exemplaristas. / The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of lexical frequency in two variable phonological phenomena which present morphological conditioning, such as Nasality Reduction and Final /r/ Deletion, in order to verify: 1) lexical frequency interaction with linguistic variables ; 2) lexical frequency interaction with social variables; 3) the best model, if abstractionist or exemplarist, to deal with the results obtained here. For nasality reduction, we reanalyzed data from Schwindt and Bopp da Silva (2010), adding lexical frequency information for data analysis; for the final /r/ deletion phenomenon, new data were collected from interviews with informants from Rio de Janeiro. Lexical frequency information of the data was obtained from the reference corpus ASPA (Sound Evaluation of Current Portuguese). Our results point out that lexical frequency has positive correlation with the application of the phenomena, being conditioned by grammatical class, not by the internal morphological structure of the word. Age has a very significant interaction in nasality reduction data, especially in the class of non-verbs without gem. The same interaction with age was not found in the final /r/ deletion phenomenon. An explanation for this may be related to the characterization of type and token frequency. In lexical frequency analysis, considering that rules regarding the internal morphology of words and regarding phonology do not seem to be decisive in the application of both phenomena, we argue for the superiority of the exemplarist approaches.

Ops, comi os erres! O apagamento do ?r no final de voc?bulo em produ??es escolares da cidade de Feira de Santana ? BA

No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTA??O FINAL COM FICHA CATALOGR?FICA 18 DE ABRIL PDF (1).pdf: 2362106 bytes, checksum: 1da0ff87edbc46a6d93553a0402ab23e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-19 / This research aims to investigate -r deletion in syllable coda in final position of a word in school productions, sentence dictations and letters, of students in 6th and 9th grades of Elementary School II (ES) and third year of High School (HS) of private and public schools, in the city of Feira de Santana - BA. In total, textual productions of 154 students in the two school systems were investigated. This work identifies the linguistic and social contexts that favor the deletion of the rhotic in final position of a word in each analysis, especially in the general analysis, that allows one more comprehensive and complete view of the phenomenon of the final -r deletion in writing. It is also shown the role of the school in the expansion or not of the linguistic competence in the written task as the student advances to the final grades of ES II and HS. For the development of this sociolinguistic research, the quantitative method was used with the support of the Goldvarb X program and the analyses were made in light of the Labovian linguistic variation theory, theoretical current that considers the heterogeneity is systematic and inherent in the language and variation can lead to a process of language change. The erasing of the -r in final position of a word was a variable rule, being suppressed, mainly, in some linguistic contexts. Regarding the linguistic factors, the most relevant were the grammatical class, the number of syllables, the preceding vowel of the word. Regarding the external variable, the textual genre was selected. Regarding the social factors, the most favorable factors were the grade/school year, especially the younger groups, the school system, stressing the public one, and parents and children?s origin. This research provides a better understanding of the linguistic heterogeneity of the phenomenon in question, not only in terms of spoken language but also of writing in the community of Feira de Santana, which calls for more investigations. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o apagamento do -r em final de palavras em produ??es escolares, ditados de frases e cartas, dos alunos do 6? e do 9? anos do Ensino Fundamental II (EF) e do 3? ano do Ensino M?dio (EM), das redes particular e p?blica da cidade de Feira de Santana ? BA. No total foram investigadas produ??es textuais de 154 alunos pertencentes ?s duas redes de ensino. Neste trabalho, identificam-se os contextos lingu?sticos e extralingu?sticos que favorecem o apagamento do r?tico em final de palavras em cada uma das an?lises, em especial na an?lise geral, que possibilita uma vis?o mais ampla e completa do fen?meno do apagamento do -r final na escrita. Busca-se tamb?m verificar o papel da escola na amplia??o ou n?o da compet?ncia lingu?stica na modalidade escrita ? medida que o aluno avan?a para as s?ries finais do EF II e do EM. Para o desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, de cunho sociolingu?stico, utilizou-se o m?todo quantitativo com o suporte do programa Goldvarb X e as an?lises foram feitas ? luz da teoria da varia??o lingu?stica laboviana, corrente te?rica que considera que a heterogeneidade ? sistem?tica e inerente ? l?ngua e que a varia??o pode levar a um processo de mudan?a na l?ngua. Em final de voc?bulo, o apagamento do -r final apresentou-se como uma regra vari?vel, sendo suprimido, sobretudo, em alguns contextos lingu?sticos. Sobre os grupos de fatores lingu?sticos, os mais relevantes foram a classe gramatical, o n?mero de s?labas e a vogal precedente do voc?bulo. Tamb?m se mostrou importante a vari?vel externa g?nero textual. Sobre os fatores extralingu?sticos, os maiores favorecedores foram a s?rie/ano escolar, em especial as dos mais jovens, o grupo da rede de ensino, com destaque para a rede p?blica, e a origem de pais e filhos. Este trabalho possibilita uma melhor compreens?o da heterogeneidade lingu?stica sofre o fen?meno em quest?o, n?o s? em termos de l?ngua falada mas tamb?m da escrita na comunidade feirense, que ainda carece de investiga??es mais profundas.

Gende(r) in the Boston Accent: A linguistic analysis of Boston (r) from a gender perspective

Fish, Jody January 2018 (has links)
The Boston accent is one of the most famous accents in the United States and is known for its non-rhoticity, which essentially means that Bostonians do not normally pronounce their r’s after vowels. While most Boston locals would tell you to ‘pahk the cah ova hea’ when you arrive in the city, not every Bostonian has the same level of non-rhoticity; this variation is due to a number of different factors, but arguably one of the most interesting factors, which this paper focuses on, is gender. This study looks into how Boston non-rhoticity differs between males and females, as well the theories that explain these potential differences. This is done by collecting and analyzing the speech of Boston locals, following two previous studies on the same topic. In addition to gender, types of speech and other social factors are also analyzed. The biggest finding of this study is that there is a statistically significant difference in non-rhoticity between males and females, with females pronouncing more r’s, which supports one previous study and opposes another, and also supports the linguistic theory that women tend to exhibit more standardized speech than men.
