O uso das formas pronominais nós, a gente e você como índice de indeterminação do sujeito em aulas, apresentações e entrevistas

Abstract

The present work has the objective of investigating the subject indeterminacy of the pronouns nós, a gente and você in formal speeches (classes and assignments presentation) and interviews, and justifying the application of these textual genres as determinant factor of subject indeterminacy. Expliciting the recategorization of personal pronouns class is searched in order to identify the linguistics changes occurred in Portuguese from Brazil (PB), like the sensitive changes experienced in the Portuguese language as the insertion of the forms a gente, você and nós with generic/indeterminate value and the syntactic, semantic and discursive backgrounds which benefits each variable. In order to certify this use, the functionalist principle which investigates the acceptance of these pronouns by the Traditional Grammar (GT), besides prioritizing the linguistic use as interaction way among the speakers is adopted. The corpus of this research is constituted of 03 classes, 07 oral interviews and 10 assignments presentation, which belong to the database of Funcpar (Grupo de Pesquisas Funcionalistas do Norte/Noroeste do Paraná). In order to consolidate the genres as formal speech, it is certified that the informants are teachers and university students. In order to map the use of nós, a gente and você, in the Brazilian variety of Portuguese, analyzed the textual genres already recorded and transcribed, which follow a pattern based on rules of NURC project were analyzed, however with some little adaptations and segmented in units of intonation, according to the Chafe (1987) criteria. It adopts a program of coding data, Systemic Coder, to quantify the phenomena occurred. Through this program, seek to investigate, with the elaboration of some criteria, the subject indeterminacy is searched. Considering that the functionalist approach is based on the linguistic use in varied communicative situations and observing that there are factors which confirm the choice of indeterminacy, the results confirmed the recurrent use of the indeterminacy of the subject in the corpus.
