THE DENUNCIATION OF AN ANONYMOUS

Traces of orality in a twentieth-century letter from Minas Gerais

Authors

Abstract

We aimed to investigate the presence of words with phonetic changes as orality clues manifested in an autonomous personal twentieth-century letter written in Minas Gerais. The manuscript was transcribed according to the criteria of diplomatic edition (SPINA, 1977), and we proposed the handwritten alphabet to facilitate reading (FACHIN, 2009). Drawing on Marcuschi (2001; 2008), the relationship between orality-writing and textual genre was discussed. Based on Viaro (2011), a survey and analysis of phonetic changes in some words was performed; the most recurrent types: subtraction (syncope and apocope) and transformation (despalatization); thenceforth, we could identify traces of orality in the corpus..
