Resumo:
The main purpose of this academic work is to verify that the linguistic manifestation that
deviates from the precepts imposed by traditional grammar shows a relationship with the
Portuguese language once spoken in Portugal, which covers the origins of some variations,
just like final nasal diphthong denasalization of verbs in the 3rd person of plural in present,
past perfect, past imperfect indicative, imperfect subjunctive and infinitive personal. The
specific purposes are: describe final nasal diphthong denasalization on verbs in the 3rd person
of plural inside speech of scholar people from different age groups in Campina Grande area
and demonstrate the dynamic and social aspect of the language, since speakers contribute for
diversity of the language spoken in Brazil. This research corpus is formed by ancient
historical documents and people speech recordings of a same familiar group and different age
groups of people who live in Campina Grande area, in order to we verify actual and historical
evidences of denasalization in verbal forms. For the study of this corpus we have considered
the theoretical contributions about: formation of the Portuguese language, demonstrating
many influences which it have received; language variation and change, to identify factors
that influence linguistic diversity; and descriptive studies about concordance, once the loss of
nasalization may cause lack of agreement in the sentence. In our analyses, we realized that
before the regulation of ortography, denasalization in verbal forms was already present in
Portuguese language, just like in archaic times. Besides, we found that the loss of nasalization
in verb forms may cause lack of verbal concordance in sentences, when it is realized in the
present and in the imperfect past tense of indicative mode, such as in the imperfect past tense
of subjuctive mode and personal infinitive, because the lack of nasalization causes the verbal
forms manifestation in the singular. However, if this phenomenon is manifested in verbs in
the past tense of the indicative, the verbal form will continue to agree with the subject, once
the temporal mode and personal numeric morphemes are not presented in the singular, but
there is a new morpheme –ru. The results show us that linguistic variations are present in the
speech of people in less monitored ambience and speakers, by a process of least effort, tend to
follow the principle of linguistic economy, simplifying the pronunciation of words.
