RESUMO:

Based on sociolinguistic studies about empirical problems of evaluation, and attempting to contribute with variable elements’ social value, this thesis aims to verify the linguistic attitude of students of Portuguese Language and Literature Course from a public university in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Our corpus data is composed by applied tests for Portuguese Language and Literature students - freshmen and seniors -, by observing attitude’s three components - cognitive, affective and behavioral – relating to diphthong’s [ya] reduction in paroxytone unstressed words, as in paciença/poliça, according to who is using this variant. Based on our analysis, we support that freshmen and seniors judgments are different from the studied variant. Therefore, this research is justified when it proposes to show how it is important elaborating and validating these attitude tests by the observation of linguistic variant’s social value. Consequently, our research’s founding questions are the following: (i) which tests can be applied to verify linguistic attitudes? (ii) what are freshmen and seniors undergraduate students of Portuguese Language and Literature Course linguistic attitudes concerning stigmatized variable phonetic phenomena? While considering these issues, our goals are as follows: (i) developing and validating tests to assess linguistic attitudes according to their three components - cognitive, affective and behavioral; (ii) describing and analyzing undergraduate students attitudes in their first and last semester regarding stigmatized variable phonetic phenomena; (iii) defining and identifying the three components of judge listening attitudes; and, (iv) verifying the influence of linguistic studies on these students’ change of attitudes. As an expectation for the guiding objectives of this research, we present the following hypotheses: (i) because of previous theoretical backgrounds about variation and linguistic change phenomena, senior students present a different standpoint regarding change and variation phenomenon. Researches on linguistic attitudes are significant for linguistic prejudice and prestige discussions, and to assist in understanding how language changes occur. The elaboration of significant tests will contribute to a better clarification of the speakers’ attitudes and their influence on linguistic variation / change. Additionally, bringing up the question of linguistic attitude in Literature courses has been a relevant discussion to enable future teachers to reflect about the subject and how these knowledges are important for classroom’s transposition in student’s complete formation.
