Description
Summary:The objective of this article is to analyze the speech used in the local news programs in Belém, capital of the state of Pará, and in Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, in order to verify how it is characterized. For this, speech samples were collected from three reporters native to the capital of Pará, as well as three news presenters and two reporters native to the capital of Pernambuco, using videos made available on the Internet to verify if they use the characteristics of their dialects or if they meet a standard norm of telejournalistic discourse. It starts from the hypothesis that some of these characteristics are smoothed or erased as an attempt to regularize or normalize them and thus try to follow a pattern of pronunciation of more prestigious forms in Brazilian Portuguese. From the realization of the research, attempts to neutralize the dialectal features of the speech of Belém and Recife were verified, based on the statements of the professionals analyzed. However, in Belém, the smoothing of the dialectal features doesn't come to be predominant, already in Recife the neutralization of the dialectal features is much more frequente.
