The studies about the language’s expressivity exist since the old Greece and Rome, but only in the twenty-century they were introduced as a subject by Bally, with the name of Estilistic. In this research, we are going to enfoque the part of this science that studies the sounds and, having Monteiro (2006) and Martins (1997) as theorical bases, we objected to analyse them as a resource used in the denomination of the characters by the modernist author Guimarães Rosa, through the analysis of the expressive potential of the phonemes. The corpus that is been used is composed of seventeen tales, that are reunited in the work Primeiras estórias from the mentioned author. With the purpose of observing if Guimarães Rosa uses the Phonoestilistic as a resource in the denomination of the characters, the tales that have been analysed are just the ones that the characters have own names. Through the analysis, it was possible to notice the direct relation between the characteristics of the characters and the expressivity of the phonemes that compose their anthroponyms, taking us to the conclusion that Rosa uses the phonoestilistics aspects in the process of intitulation, in a way that presents the characterization of their characters through their names.
