This chapter examines the use of aesthetic and discursive elements in the production of a narrative about República, a district in the central area of São Paulo (Brazil) that has been transformed through a real estate boom in the past ten years. We focus on newly built studio apartments, and on the efforts to differentiate them from the quitinetes, apartments with similar features built in the 1950s and 1960s that have been heavily stigmatized. We situate our analysis of this purposeful urban transformation within a context intertwined with urban marketing, publicity, and image making. Our research shows the strong presence of an industrial aesthetic in the area, which we understand as being a deliberate echo of the gentrification process that took place in SoHo in New York City in the 1970s.

Com o foco centrado em dados extraídos do Iboruna, um córpus coletado na região noroeste do Estado de São Paulo, este trabalho pretende mostrar a relevância social da pesquisa variacionista com base num estudo da marcação variável de plural em predicativos de um único componente (substantivos, adjetivos e particípios passivos). Como reiteração de marcas, esse fenômeno variável se mostra em grande parte motivado por paralelismo formal, definido como uma restrição interna, mas se mostra também passível de ser explicado especialmente por grau de escolaridade, definido como uma restrição externa. Esse resultado, de natureza nitidamente social, converge com os principais princípios postulados pela Sociolinguística em seu surgimento 50 anos atrás, quando foi publicada a tese de Labov The Social Stratification of English in New York City.
