O corpus em an?lise se constitui de cartas de leitores, cartas de redatores e an?ncios de jornais brasileiros dos s?culos XIX e XX de diferentes regi?es/estados - Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Cear? e Pernambuco - e pertencem ao corpus m?nimo comum do Projeto para a Hist?ria do Portugu?s Brasileiro (PHPB). A an?lise est? fundamentada em pressupostos te?rico-metodol?gicos da teoria da Varia??o e Mudan?a (WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 1968[2006]; LABOV, 1972[2008]), da teoria de Princ?pios e Par?metros (CHOMSKY, 1981; 1986) e do modelo de competi??o de gram?ticas (KROCH, 1989; 2001). Os resultados mostram que o contexto das senten?as infinitivas preposicionadas apresenta, de um modo geral, uma forte varia??o clV/Vcl durante os s?culos XIX e XX. Considerando o tipo de preposi??o, identificamos que, em todas as preposi??es, exceto nas senten?as com a e em, h? uma queda significativa das taxas de pr?clise na segunda metade do s?culo XIX. Na primeira metade do s?culo XX, evidenciamos um leve aumento das taxas de pr?clise nas senten?as com verbos precedidos pelas preposi??es sem, de, para e a. Por fim, na segunda metade do s?culo XX, apesar do aumento da ocorr?ncia de pr?clise em senten?as com verbos precedidos pelas preposi??es por, a e de, as taxas de frequ?ncia de pr?clise nesses contextos n?o ultrapassam 50%. De um modo geral, os resultados referentes ?s ora??es completivas preposicionadas mostram um per?odo de forte instabilidade ao longo dos s?culos XIX e XX, ou melhor, uma forte varia??o entre anteposi??o e posposi??o do cl?tico ao verbo no infinitivo. Apesar de os resultados apontarem para uma diminui??o das ocorr?ncias de pr?clise no per?odo que vai dos s?culos XIX ao XX, vemos que a probabilidade de ocorr?ncia de pr?clise em senten?as com verbos regidos pelas preposi??es de, para, por e sem ? alta e significativa. / In this work we present the description and analysis of the clitics collocation patterns in prepositional infinitive sentences within the Brazilian writing in the centuries XIX and XX. The corpus in analysis is comprised of letters of newspaper readers and newspaper writers, as well as of advertisements (ads) taken from Brazilian newspapers from different regions / states ? Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Cear? and Pernambuco ? and written in the Centuries XIX and XX. They belong to the common minimum corpus of the project named Projeto para a Hist?ria do Portugu?s Brasileiro (PHPB or Project to the History of the Brazilian Portuguese, in English). Its analysis is based on theoreticalmethodological postulates of the Theory of Variation and Change (WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 1968[2006]; LABOV, 1972[2008]); on the Theory of Principles and Parameters (CHOMSKY, 1981, 1986) and on the model of Grammar Competition (KROCH, 1989; 2001). By trying to articulate those presuppositions from both the theories we present a proposition of theoretical interface between the Variation Theory and the Grammar one. Concerning the empirical results achieved by means of this research, we could figure that, in the context in which there were prepositional infinitive sentences, the most significant independent variable to the occurrence of the proclisis is the type of preposition that comes before the verb in the infinitive. Before that, we found out that there are prepositions which strongly direct the proclisis, as it is the case of the prepositions in Portuguese sem, por, de and para, with all of them presenting Relative Weights over 0,52. Another important result is the one attested in the data referring the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). This state is the only one of the sample which is located in the Southeastern region and also presents itself as the main proclisis conditioner amongst the localities pertaining to the sample. In order to explain those results, we raised the hypothesis that the proclisis implementation may be more advanced in the Southeastern than in the Northeastern Brazil, however that hypothesis must be confirmed or refuted in future works. We also present, in this work, a theoretical explanation about the clitics colocation in prepositional infinitive sentences within the Brazilian writing in the XIX and XX centuries. The theoretical explanation we found to interpret the achieved results associates Magro?s proposition (2005), regarding the existence of prepositions occupying the nucleus PP and the existence of prepositions which can play the role of a completer and occupy the nucleus CP, according to Galves (2000; 2001), regarding the existent relation between the clitic colocation and the association of traits-phi to the functional categories COMP, Tense and Person. Our proposition is that the occurrence of prepositions which occupy the nucleus CP causes changes in the values attributed to the traits-phi and to the strong Vtraits in the functional categories COMP, Tense and Person. Thus, we defend that proclisis in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) is derived from the movement of the verb to the functional category tense in which there is the association of traits +V and traits +AGR, what legitimates the proclisis according to Galves?s proposition (2000; 2001).
