In this paper, we discuss the L2 acquisition of the full pronoun (FP) in Portuguese by Africans. We argue that the acquisition is the result of selection and competition of features (MUFWENE, 2008; ABOH, 2015) during the period of colonization in Brazil, due to the multilingualism mainly between Portuguese and the African languages ​​of the Bantu group. We propose that the person and gender (through classifiers) agreement feature in the Bantu group languages ​​have been the input for the selection of the FP in the resumption of a DP by the combination of the features [+animate, +human]. These features are also present in the particle attached to the verb of these languages. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed data from four Afro-Brazilian communities in the state of Bahia, which live in relative isolation: Helvécia, Arraiais de Rio de Contas, Cinzento and Sapé. It is assumed that the null object (NO) in the first contact situations has been the strategy chosen to resume a DP in the position of direct object in all possible semantic contexts. It is also presumed that the FP strategy has been acquired later during the successive situations of contact due to the constant arrival of slave ships during the first three centuries of colonization, which led to the acquisition of Portuguese as L2 at different times in history.
