Abstract

This paper aims at describing and analyzing the use of linguistic variants of the verb valence to go, indicating displacement, used by educated speakers of the Portuguese language from Fortaleza - CE. Besides that, we will verify which factors influence this use, drawing a parallel between the research results and some textbook guidelines. For this, we searched for textbooks and analyzed researches about this issue. We are grounded on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the Variationist Sociolinguistics. In order to know which prepositions are used by the educated speakers of Fortaleza - CE and the linguistic and/or extralinguistic factors that influence this phenomenon, we used the statistical program VARBRUL. The corpus analyzed in this paper is part of PORCUFORT (Educated Oral Portuguese of Fortaleza). The results prove that the factor longer permanency time influences the preposition para. The mentioned factor also influences the use of the prepositions a and em when the permanency time is smaller. Moreover, they showed that the factors verbal time (past) and age (from 25 to 40 years) influence the use of a and em, respectively. We concluded that the mentioned textbooks, in order to develop the standard pattern of the language, disregard the reality of speakers.
