Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / The main goal of this work is to identify and describe relative clauses in 91 personal letters written between 1906 and 2000 by semi-illiterate Bahian inlanders, edited by Santiago (2012), who has called them unskilled hands (MARQUILHAS, 2000). From the analysis of the process of relative clauses construction by these writing-subject, it is intended to describe the relativizing strategies employed, observing either their similarity with popular variants of Brazilian Portuguese (TARALLO, 1983, 1993), or trying to understand whether these processes are similar to those in specific clauses of adults who are acquiring the written language, as relative clauses analyzed in studies of language acquisition by children (LESSA DE OLIVEIRA, 2008), or if it happens in both situations. To do so, the researchwas based on the theoretical assumptions of the Historical Linguistics (socio-historical perspective) as defined by Mattos e Silva (2008) and the Labovian Sociolinguistics theory (LABOV, 1972). / Esta disserta??o tem por objetivo identificar e descrever as senten?as relativas em 91 cartas pessoais, escritas entre 1906 e 2000 por sertanejos baianos semi-alfabetizados, editadas por Santiago (2012), que os define como in?beis (MARQUILHAS, 2000). A partir da an?lise do processo de constru??o das relativas por esses escreventes, pretende-se descrever as estrat?gias de relativiza??o utilizadas, observando ora a proximidade desses processos com as variantes populares do portugu?s brasileiro (TARALLO, 1983, 1993), ora buscando perceber se esses processos apontam para constru??es comuns de indiv?duos adultos em fase de aquisi??o de escrita, como constru??es pr?ximas ?s encontradas em estudos sobre aquisi??o, a exemplo do que ocorre com crian?as (LESSA DE OLIVEIRA, 2008), ou ainda, se ocorrem ambas as situa??es. Para tanto, foram mobilizados pressupostos te?ricos da Lingu?stica Hist?rica s?cio-hist?rica, nos termos definidos por Mattos e Silva (2008) e da Sociolingu?stica Laboviana (LABOV, 1972).
