| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the morphophonological alternation in the first person plural of indicative mood regular verbs with the first conjugation in paulista countryside, e.g. estud[ə̃]mos ~ estud[ẽ]mos (‘we study’/‘we studied’). Based on the Linguistic Variation and Change Theory (Labov, 2008 [1972]) and on studies on this phenomenon in other varieties of Brazilian Portuguese (Pereira, 2014, 2021; Pereira; Margotti, 2018; Pereira; Lehmkuhl-Coelho; Loregian-Penkal, 2016; Zilles; Maya; Silva, 2000), 32 interviews from the Iboruna database were examined (ALIP Project – Gonçalves, 2024 [2007]). Goldvarb X statistical program (Sankoff; Tagliamonte; Smith, 2024 [2005]) investigated the following variables: (i) sex/gender; (ii) age group; (iii) level of education; (iv) verb tense; (v) deletion of final -s of /mos/; (vi) sentence assertiveness; (vii) subject realization; and (viii) presence of a temporal element. The results demonstrated low productivity of -emo(s), prevalent in lower educated male speakers’ speech, in the past perfect tense with no markers in the sentence nor final -s. |
