As variações diatópicas nas músicas de Luiz Gonzaga: conhecendo a linguagem nordestina através das músicas do rei do baião

Abstract

: This article addresses the divergences in the linguistic field, particularly in relation to the norms of the Portuguese language and its variations. It discusses the preference of some grammarians for the standard norm, in contrast to the defense of linguistic variability by sociolinguistic scholars. Language, especially through cultural expressions such as popular music, is seen as a reflection of culture and community of origin. The Portuguese language in Brazil is highlighted for its various linguistic variations, influenced by social, cultural, and geographical factors. The northeastern region of Brazil is particularly notable for its unique oral and cultural communication. The article proposes to analyze the diatopic linguistic variations present in the songs "Forró no escuro", "Estrada de Canindé" and "ABC do sertão" by Luiz Gonzaga, seeking to understand how his work reflects the cultural and linguistic diversity of Northeastern Brazil.
