ABSTRACT

Based on theoretical and methodological assumptions of sociolinguistics, we analyse the variation between compound pluperfect and simple past as forms of coding the earlier past in four corpora of Ceará-Brazil: PORCUFORT, NORPOFOR, PROFALA and TORRES. For each corpus, the quantitative analysis is performed using the Goldvarb program, considering social and stylistic factors: formality level by type of text, education, rural-urban area, age group and profession. There are 334 data in the four corpora: 207 of pluperfect compound and 127 of simple past tense, which show conditioning of use of the compound pluperfect according to type of text. The social factors show numerical approximation between simple past and pluperfect, which proves that the simple past is a socially legitimate way to indicate earlier past in the spoken Portuguese in Ceará-Brazil.

摘要

基于社会语言学的理论和方法假设，我们分析了巴西塞阿拉州的四个语料库中的复合过去语和简单过去之间的差异，这些形式是较早的过去的编码形式：PORCUFORT，NORPOFOR，PROFALA和TORRES。对于每个语料库，使用Goldvarb程序进行定量分析，同时考虑社会和文体因素：按文字类型，教育程度，城乡地区，年龄段和职业划分的正式程度。四个语料库中有334个数据：pluperfect化合物的207个和简单过去时的127个数据，显示了根据文本类型使用该化合物pluperfect的条件。社会因素显示了简单的过去和完美的经历之间的数值近似，
