| Sumario: | In this article, we present an excerpt from the author's doctoral thesis entitled Pelas veredas do /r/ retroflexo (Through the pathways of the retroflex /r/), defended at the Universidade Estadual de Londrina. On this occasion, we present the mapping of the variation of /r/ in internal syllabic coda, based on unpublished data collected by the Atlas Linguístico do Brasil (ALiB) in the Southeast region. Grounded in the assumptions of Geolinguistics, the research focuses on the diatopic distribution of the retroflex /r/, conceived in this study as one of the phonetic elements that may contribute to the dialectal division of Brazil (Aguilera 2020a; 2020b). The cartography of the results was conducted using the QGIS software, a Geographic Information System (GIS), which situates this study as pioneering in Brazil, by employing this tool for the mapping of linguistic data. Throughout the analysis, our aim is to present the vitality of the retroflex /r/, contradicting the prediction of its disappearance, as suggested by Amaral (1982 [1920]), and at the same time, to provide evidence confirming the connection of the retroflex /r/ to the historical movement of the Bandeiras Paulistas. To achieve this, we present the maps elaborated with QGIS, which can assist in representing the results, understanding, and consequently, analyzing the data of this research and others of linguistic nature. |
