This paper aims to check the extent of the stigma disseminated through the school in the sociological subject constituted by the Tocantina Amazon identity. The investigation start point was the reduction of mid-vowel [o] raising, in pre-tonic position. Correa and Campos (2018) and Rodrigues (2005) corpus were used in this investigation, also a comparison between them was made. The method was quantitative and qualitative and to count the occurrence of the raising, identity, and stigma, subsidized by Goffman (1975) and Hall (2001), the statistic program GOLDVARB-X was used. The results reveal a resistance in the raising of the [o]>[u] in the pre-tonic position, as a consequence of the stigmatized stress. This analysis shows that the school exerts a great influence inhibiting the raising of the posterior mid-vowel, in order to avoid the countryside speech, dissociating the subject from his Amazon identity.
