Resumo: | The topic of gender diversity has been increasingly discussed, and the demand for non-binary language has become more common in linguistic research. Although some of the studies found have focused on a political stance regarding the use of non-binary language (Lau & Sanches; 2019; Fiorin, 2022), our research interest stems from the willingness to investigate the linguistic attitude (Coan & Freitag, 2011; Rodrigues, 2012; Freitag & Santos, 2016) of speakers of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) residing in the second largest city in the state of Maranhão and a possible linguistic change in apparent time. In light of this, the following research problem arises: how do speakers of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) act regarding the use of non-binary language in the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão, and how might this be related to possible linguistic changes in apparent time? Thus, the present research aims to investigate the linguistic attitudes of speakers of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) from the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão, regarding the use of non-binary language, also known as inclusive language, considering a possible linguistic change in apparent time related to the use of this language. The methodological approach is quantitative-qualitative and descriptive, as referenced by Gil (2002) and Creswell (2010). It involves a sociolinguistic data survey, as we resort to direct questioning of individuals whose behavior or linguistic attitude we wish to understand (Gil, 2002). The main results indicate that only 38.30% of the informants accept the linguistic form of the word ‘coisinho’, which is given as an example of a word that does not vary according to prescriptive norms. Furthermore, only 34.04% of the informants accept the linguistic form ‘todes’. Considering the relatively low percentage of acceptance of these linguistic forms, we can conclude that there is still no ongoing linguistic change related to the use of non-binary language in the community of speakers in the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão. |

Embora parte dos estudos encontrados tenha se dedicado a uma posição política ante ao uso da linguagem não-binária (Lau & Sanches; 2019; Fiorin, 2022), nosso interesse de pesquisa parte da disposição de investigar a atitude linguística (Coan & Freitag, 2011; Rodrigues, 2012; Freitag & Santos, 2016) de falantes do Português Brasileiro (PB), residentes na segunda maior cidade do estado do Maranhão, e uma possível mudança linguística em tempo aparente. Diante disso, surge o seguinte problema de pesquisa: de que modo falantes do Português Brasileiro (PB) agem em relação à utilização da linguagem não-binária na cidade de Imperatriz/MA e como isso pode estar relacionado a possíveis mudanças linguísticas em tempo aparente? Assim, a presente pesquisa tem como principal objetivo investigar as atitudes linguísticas de falantes do Português Brasileiro (PB), da cidade de Imperatriz/MA, em relação à utilização da linguagem não-binária, também conhecida como linguagem inclusiva, considerando uma possível mudança linguística em tempo aparente referente ao uso dessa linguagem. A abordagem metodológica é quanti-qualitativa e descritiva, conforme referenciado por Gil (2002) e Creswell (2010). Trata-se de um levantamento de dados sociolinguísticos, haja vista que recorremos à interrogação direta das pessoas cujo comportamento, ou atitude linguística, desejamos conhecer (Gil, 2002). Os principais resultados indicam que somente 38,30% dos informantes aceitam a forma linguística da palavra ‘coisinho’, exemplo dado de palavra invariável de acordo com a norma prescritiva. Além disso, apenas 34,04% dos informantes aceitam a forma linguística ‘todes’. Considerando o percentual relativamente baixo de aceitação das referidas formas linguísticas, podemos concluir que ainda não há uma mudança linguística em andamento relacionada ao uso da linguagem não-binária na comunidade de falantes da cidade de Imperatriz/MA.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2024-04-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/6973810.4025/actascilangcult.v46i1.69738Acta Scientiarum.
