SUMMARY:

From the perspective of Variationist Sociolinguistics, this thesis aims to analyze the variation between the first-person plural pronouns NÓS and A GENTE in the speech of the TV hostess of the variety program Resenhas do RN in the years 2019-2020. We transcribed 16 episodes recorded in different cities of Rio Grande do Norte. We controlled the following factors as restrictors of the choice between pronouns: (i) the different phases that constitute the variety show; (ii) the possibility of accommodating of the hostess to the social profile of the interviewees. However, the factors linked to the accommodation of the hostess to the interlocutor were not significant. The Resenhas do RN can be divided into three phases. In the initial narration, the hostess uses a more formal style of speech permeated by writing. In the second moment, when presenting the episode and speaking directly to the audience, her speech is less formal. Finally, as she interviews the guests, her talk approaches an everyday conversation. Our hypothesis was that, at the time of the interview, the hostess would use the most recent pronoun A GENTE, which was confirmed. We conclude that, depending on the textual genre that provides the data, it is necessary to take it not as a whole, but considering the different parts of its composition. Each part may allow for different degrees of formality, which is relevant for the selection of variant forms.
