This paper aims to identify the lexical variations from the ´Causa Mortis’ and to investigate a variation from social-historical and cultural context, looking for extra linguistics factors that make available the study. We are going to reference from philosophical studies by Sacramento; Santos (2017) and in variationist Sociolinguistic by Labov (2008) and Tarallo (2007). Methodologically, is a thought, using a qualitative and an exploratory approach by (Gil, 2002) and the analysis data from of Variationist Sociolinguistic principles. The results showed up the use of six recurrent (6) units analyzed on the lexical, it pointing that the use of the lexical variant has changed for extra linguistic factors, like that: the social judgments, certain diseases, changing in medical areas and social inferences among the years. Therefore, we are going to reinforce which the choice of a variant is given in another hand into the social relation.
