Abstract

The Brazilian grammatical tradition, as well as the European norm, prescribes the selection of directional prepositions to verbs like: “arrive”, come”, “carry”, “go”. However, in the colloquial speech, it is the locative preposition “in” which is

accomplished together with these verbs. This paper aims to discuss the process of change that affects these prepositions, making use of the theoretical processes from Theory of Variation. It is searched, through a variationist analysis, identify the linguistic and extra linguistic factors that condition the choice of the preposition that governs verbs of movement. Quantitative analysis was based on 39 interviews of speakers from three cities: Porto Alegre, Florianópolis and Curitiba.
