Resumo: This article analyzes the reduction of the preposition para (to, for) to pra in Brazilian Portuguese. Sequences of (previous word + para or pra) selected from a corpus of spoken language were statistically analyzed to understand which factors could be playing a role in this reduction. A statistical analysis of the 30 most frequent sequences of (previous word + para or pra) was carried out to identify the factors that seem to influence this reduction. The concepts of string frequency (Krug 1998, 2003, Bush 2001), relative frequency (Torres Cacoullos 2006), and token frequency (Bybee 2002a, 2002b, 2006) were adopted to verify whether frequency of usage in any of these forms would influence the reduction. Results show that relative frequency favors the reduction of para to pra, alongside word class, number of syllables, and stressed syllable. Based on this analysis, the lexical storage of multiword sequences is discussed, along with its effects for processes of linguistic variation and change.

O Corpus LAEL de língua falada foi adotado para fazer buscas por essas sequências. Considerando-se as 30 sequências mais frequentes de (palavra anterior + para ou pra), análises estatísticas foram realizadas para observar que fatores interferiam nessa redução. Os conceitos de frequência da sequência (Krug 1998, 2003, Bush 2001), frequência relativa (Torres Cacoullos 2006) e frequência de ocorrência (Bybee 2002a, 2002b, 2006) foram utilizados para verificar se a repetição das palavras em alguma dessas formas desempenhava algum papel nas sequências em que para se reduz a pra. Observou-se que a frequência relativa favorece a redução de para a pra, juntamente com classe de palavra, número de sílabas e tonicidade. A partir desse fenômeno, discute-se a possível estocagem de sequências de duas ou mais palavras no léxico mental dos falantes, bem como as consequências disso para processos de variação e mudança linguística.  SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2021-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/337810.1590/1678-460x202148508porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3378/6110Copyright (c) 2021 Ana Paula Hubackhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHuback, Ana Paulareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2021-12-16T14:25:24Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/3378Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2021-12-16T14:25:24SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse
