Abstract

The present work describes and analyzes the Nominal Treatment Forms (FTNs) used in A random sample of 15 letters from readers, from the municipality of Chapecó, published in the 1950s XX. Eleven of the newspaper The Voice of Chapecó and four of the newspaper O Imparcial. This sample is part of a Larger project denominated "Variation and Change in the Western Portuguese of Santa Catarina". The issues Motivate the research are: (i) Which forms of nominal treatment were used in the readers' letters ?; (Ii) What is the function of the Nominal Treatment Forms ?; (Iii) These forms contributed to the approximation or Distancing of the interlocutors? (Iv) What sociocultural factors interfere in the use of Nominal Treatment? In order to respond to these preliminary questions, we rely on the assumptions Theoretical-methodological aspects of Variationist Sociolinguistics and the theory of linguistic politeness. Thus, we started Exposing the definition and classification of the FTNs, then we present the Theory of Variation and Change Linguistics. Afterwards, we detail the theory of linguistic politeness. In this way, 140 FTNs Used, of which 28 were unencoded and 122 were consecrated. In non-coded FTNs the function was Preaching, while in the consecrated ones it was allocutionary. The unencrypted FTNs of a pejorative nature offended Their alocutores and consequently caused a distance between interlocutors. It was observed that the Of the linguistic politeness in the employment of the FTNs was little recurrent, judging by the historical Conflicts that Chapecó lived in the 1950s.
