This research intends to understand the favorable contexts to the application of elision, one of the external sandhi phenomena. The elision occurs in word boundaries, context where usually the low vowel /a/ is deleted when followed by a different vowel. The proposal is to contribute to a more detailed description of elision that occurs in Brazilian Portuguese, considering popular speech data of Bahia, taken from PEPP (Studies Program on the Spoken Popular Portuguese of Salvador), coordinated by Professor Norma Lopes (UNEB). We selected eight interviews classified by sex (male and female), education (primary and secondary) and age (25-35 and over 65), totaling 1633 contexts where elision can apply. These contexts passed through statistical analysis of Goldvarb 2001, taking into account some variables already analyzed in other studies, as Bisol (1996, 2002), Tenani (2004), Matthew and D'Andrade (2000), Cabré and Prieto (2005) and Ludwig-Gayer (2008). The Goldvarb program selected the following variables as relevant: category of the second vowel (V2), prosodic domain, stress, vocabulary extension, sex, distance between the stresses, combination of words, informant and syllabic structure of V2, indicating that the factors high vowel, phonological phrase, unstressed environment, among others, would favor the application of process in the studied community.
