Integrando a variação social e métodos quantitativos na investigação sobre linguagem e cognição: para uma sociolinguística cognitiva do português europeu e brasileiro

Augusto Soares da Silva

Abstract


 Este artigo tem um objectivo duplo. Um é argumentar sobre a necessidade de integrar sistematicamente a variação linguística e a metodologia do corpus acompanhada de métodos quantitativos e de análise estatística no estudo cognitivo da linguagem, tal como tem sido desenvolvido pela Linguística Cognitiva. O outro, e mais importante, é apresentar um programa de sociolinguística cognitiva do português europeu e brasileiro centrado na questão da convergência e divergência entre as duas variedades nacionais nos últimos 50 anos.Primeiramente, assinalaremos duas tensões no desenvolvimento actual da Linguística Cognitiva (uma no objecto e outra no método) e mostraremos como é que a sua perspectiva baseada no uso implica integrar e complementar o objecto social e a metodologia empírica.A seguir, identificaremos os contributos específicos da emergente Sociolinguística Cognitiva e do método dos perfis onomasiológicos para o estudo da variação linguística. Finalmente, apresentaremos os resultados da nossa investigação sociolexicológica sobre convergência e divergência nos vocabulários do futebol e do vestuário – as duas variedades convergem no futebol e divergem no vestuário – e indicaremos as extensões desta primeira fase da investigação para os domínios das palavras funcionais e das variáveis não-lexicais.
