RESUMO:

This dissertation analyses, through variational sociolinguistics' point of view (LABOV, 1994, 2001a, 2001b, 2008 [1972]; TAGLIAMONTE, 2016, 2012), the phenomenon of discursive variation between adversative connectors MAS - prototypical adversative conjunction - and SÓ QUE - an innovative form -, through the use of sociolinguistic interviews' collected data that belong to the FALA-Natal Database, contributing to the description of the Portuguese spoken in Rio Grande do Norte. For the delimitation of the different functions of MAS and SÓ QUE, we based our work on Longhin's (2003) proposal, which is, in turn, based on Lakoff's (1971), Dascal and Katriel's (mimeo) and Ducrot (1977, 1981, 1983, 1987) studies. The author proposes that the contrast indication is divided into two types: contrast by opposition and by breach of expectation. The breach of expectation involves several subtypes: marking the difference, marking the unexpected/unwanted event, marking the refutation, marking the non-satisfaction of conditions and marking the counter-argumentation. The conjunctions MAS and SÓ QUE co-occur only in the contrast indication by breach of expectation, so we consider this function and its subtypes as our research's object. These conjunctions were analysed taking into account the informant's gender (female, male), age (preadolescents, adolescents and adults), education level (still in elementary school, complete elementary school, complete middle school and complete high school), the textual sequence (narrative, descriptive and argumentative) and function (marking the difference, marking the unexpected/unwanted event, marking the refutation, marking the non-satisfaction of conditions and marking the counter-argumentation). The data were submitted to the statistical program GOLDVARB X (SANKOFF; TAGLIAMONTE; SMITH, 2005). The results about the microfunctions showed that SÓ QUE, which is an innovative variant for the contrast indication representing a breach of expectation, was favoured in the most recent microfunctions: marking a difference, marking an unexpected/unwanted event and marking a non-satisfaction of conditions, while MAS was favored in the indication of the a counter-argument marking, which is older. As for the schooling process, we obtained indications that the school environment is responsible for inhibiting the use of the informal variant SÓ QUE. The other groups of factors were not significant in the variation process between MAS and SÓ QUE.
