| Sumario: | COVID-19 has brought about significant changes to society. The use of face masks is one of them, and according to Freitag and Tejada (2022), this use can establish changes in the language, implying linguistic compensation. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of facial masks as a catalyst for the palatalization of consonants /t/ and /d/ (Souza 2016, Corrêa 2019, Silva 2021). This study was conducted in two stages. The first stage used a sample of 17 sociolinguistic interviews from the Falares Sergipanos database to obtain values for palatalization. In the second stage, 48 audio recordings were recorded in an acoustic booth the 24, of which with masks. In the first stage, 2032 contexts of “te”, “ti”, “di”, and “de” were identified. In the second stage, 1,440 data points were selected, also with “te”, “ti”, “di”, and “de” contexts, for comparison with the results of the first stage. In the first stage, the palatal variant accounted for 27.13% of all cases. In the second stage, the palatal variant accounted for 40.14% of the total; however, the use of face masks did not significantly influence palatalization. |
