Resumo: | The research aimed atphoneticaly examining the speech of 14 men, 7 who declared themselves to be gay and 7 self-declared heterosexuals. The audio of these men´s voices were submitted to tests of perception and judged by lay hearers judges. The theoretical assumptions of Variationist Sociolinguistics (LABOV, 2008 [1972]) and Eckert (1989, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2012; ECKERT; MCCONNELL-GINET, 2010), and Speech Perception, carried out by Gaudio (1994); Smyth, Jacobs and Rogers (2003); Levon (2007); Campbell-Kibler (2011); among others were used. Significant averages of pitch variability among gay informants were also verified. In most aspects, the averages of homosexual informants were closer to the averages of gay informants participating in English-language surveys than the averages presented by the heterosexual informants. Thus, due to the similarities of results with some surveys, it seems acceptable to affirm that there are some universal typical aspects that characterize a “gay speech”. |

Os áudios foram submetidos a testes de percepção e julgados por ouvintes juízes leigos. Utilizaram-se os pressupostos teóricos da Sociolinguística Variacionista de Labov (2008 [1972]) e Eckert (1989, 1997, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2012; ECKERT; MCCONNELL-GINET, 2010), e testes de percepção da fala realizados por Gaudio (1994); Smyth, Jacobs e Rogers (2003); Levon (2007); Campbell-Kibler (2011); entre outros. Médias maiores de variabilidade do pitch dos informantes gays foram verificadas. Na maioria dos aspectos, as médias dos informantes homossexuais da pesquisa, aproximaram-se mais das médias dos informantes gays participantes das pesquisas em língua inglesa que das médias apresentadas por nossos informantes heterossexuais. Assim, devido às semelhanças encontradas nos resultados de algumas pesquisas, parece plausível afirmar haver alguns aspectos universais característicos e típicos de uma “fala gay”.UNESP2021-09-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/1345010.1590/1981-5794-e13450ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 65 (2021)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.
