The present work aims to characterize the main prosodic dialectal variation of the
Portuguese spoken in the rural town of Bethlehem (PA), Mosqueiro district. The field
research had been conducted based on the methodology used by the project AMPER,
with the corpus of 102 sentences, obeying the same phonetic and syntactic constraints.
Thus, the phrases used in the recordings for the composition of the corpus of rural
Bethlehem and being analyzed in this work are the type SVC (subject + verb +
complement) and their expansion with the inclusion of adjectival and adverbial phrases,
sentences the corpus can have 10, 13 and 14 vowels, with the latter two types have
phrase with adjectival or adverbial extension, respectively, to the right of the verb, as in
"O pássaro gosta do Renato nadador" or "O pássaro gosta do Renato de Monaco. "
Each sentence is repeated six times, forming a total corpus of 612 sentences for each
informant. The acoustic parameters used are: duration, fundamental frequency and
intensity. The analysis of the parameters was performed using data generated in MatLab
applications PRAAT and Interface. The survey gathered data from six informant adults
of both sexes, elementary education, secondary and higher. The results provided a
drawing comparative intonational phrases declarative and interrogative, and brief
observations on the behavior of unstressed vowels, postônicas and tonic, according to
the accentual structures and words in different positions on sentences. The focus was
directed to the Final Noun phrase and their extensions over which verified that the
interrogative sentences start due to the low peak intonation in the verb "gosta” and
subsequent descent in the stressed syllable, and the declarative start higher, but suffer
high in pre-tonic and subsequent descent at the end of the route melodic.
