Abstract

Social awareness is an important property of linguistic change, and what makes a variable sensitive to evaluation in a community may be related with its salience degree. In order to observe the relation between salience and social awareness, this text discusses, effects of these concepts on the perspective of linguistic production, with the control of social, stylistic and structural constrains in the conservation of /d/ in /ndo/ segments the Brazilian Portuguese variant spoken in Aracaju/SE, considering the description of studies from other varieties of Brazilian Portuguese. The Sample is part of the Falares Sergipanos Database, composed by 20 sociolinguistic interviews, stratified by sex/gender and schooling level (secondary and higher education). The structural factors were not statistically significant, pointting to the need to enlarge the sample. The results suggest that in the Aracaju speech the variable behaves as a marker, or second order index, based on the social and stylistic constrains associated with the conservation of /d/ segments /ndo/: women, higher education, in textual context of greater formality and opinion.
