Abstract

This paper analyzes the influence of social factors, age, gender and schooling on the use of the personal pronouns tu/você in the speech of speakers from Concórdia  –  Santa  Catarina.  The  study  has  been  supported  mainly  upon theoretical assumptions of variationist sociolinguistics (LABOV, 1972). The sample consists of 24 interviews distributed among two age groups, gender, and  three  levels  of  schooling.  Statistical  analysis  was  performed  with  the VARBRUL  software  (PINTZUK,  1988).  The  overall  findings  indicate  that
younger,  male,  and  higher  education  speakers  favor  the  use  of  innovative pronoun você.
