Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the variable behavior of the stop consonant /d/ in the morpheme (ndo) that characterizes verbs in the gerund in Portuguese spoken in Seabra, a Brazilian municipality in the state of Bahia, in the light of the Theory of Variation and Linguistic Change (WEINREICH ; LABOV; HERZOG, 2006 [1968]; LABOV, 2008 [1972]). The analyzed sample, belonging to the database of the Projeto Se abra à Chapada: collecting, exploring and mapping sociolinguistic data, consisted of 18 sociolinguistic interviews, stratified according to age group (one: 18-33 years old, two: 35-48 years old and three: 50+ years), gender (male and female) and education (elementary, secondary and university). After collection, the data were submitted to fixed and mixed effects logistic regression models, with the aid of the programming language called R (R CORE TEAM, 2020), whose results obtained showed a correlation between the social predictor variables (schooling and age group ) and the response variable.
