Resumo: | This article presents the results of a research study that investigated a variation in a linguistic segment of the Campinas native accent found in the city of Campinas, SP, Brazil: the /R/ in the syllabic coda position. The hypothesis that guided this research is that the rhotic in the Campinas native accent is in a more advanced state in relation to its attenuation than in speech in other towns in the interior of São Paulo state, causing it to be either vocalized or erased. This attenuation would account for the auditory impression of the study’s informants, who believe they utter a variation of /R/ assessed as ‘intermediate’ and which they view as proper to Campinas native accent. The selected corpus comprises data collected from twelve informants from the interior of the state of São Paulo. The data were recorded and analyzed acoustically and statistically. The theoretical foundation adopted was that of Fant’s Acoustic Theory of Speech Production (1960) in conjunction with a sociolinguistic framework. The results show that there is linguistic variation of the rhotic and that the most frequent variety is the caipira /R/. These findings contradict the alleged existence of an /R/ characteristic of Campinas native accent. |

Como hipótese principal deste estudo, assumiu-se que o rótico produzido pelos informantes campineiros estaria em um estado mais avançado, se comparado a outras cidades do interior paulista, no que se refere ao enfraquecimento desse segmento, tendendo à vocalização ou ao apagamento. Esse enfraquecimento seria o responsável pela impressão, de oitiva, dos informantes que julgam pronunciar uma variante de /R/ avaliada como “intermediária” e indicada como característica do falar campineiro. O corpus selecionado consta de dados coletados junto a doze informantes naturais do interior paulista. Esses dados foram gravados e submetidos à análise acústica e estatística. Para análise dos dados, o referencial teórico adotado foi o da Teoria Acústica de Produção da Fala, conforme Fant (1970), somado aos pressupostos da Sociolinguística. Os resultados alcançados nesta pesquisa mostram que há variação linguística do rótico e que a variante mais frequente é o /R/ caipira. Esse resultado contraria a alegada existência de um /R/ característico do falar campineiro.UNESP2015-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/491010.1590/1981-5794-1502-6ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 59 n. 1 (2015)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.
