【 摘 要 】

This paper aimed at thinking over the issue of selecting groups of factors (GFs) for the Varbrul package after a discrepancy occurred during the rounds with two cities of the state of Paraná – Irati and Pato Branco – regarding nominal agreement analysis. One of the structural GFs – types of plural formation – was selected during the Irati round but not in Pato Branco, although the sample was prepared according to a single methodology (that of the Varsul Project) and with exactly the same GFs, both linguistic and social. That is why the question was raised on whether the analysis should consider exclusively the GF selection by Varbrul when the sample objective - as in this case – was to investigate if and to what extent the distinct ethnic occupation (especially in southern Brazil) could interfere with phenomena of the Portuguese language in Brazil.
