Abstract

Based on the methodological presuppositions of Comparative Sociolinguistics (TAGLIAMONTE, 2003), we confront results of research on the variable use of the subjunctive mood in complement clauses in spoken data from Ceará (Cariri and Fortaleza) and from Santa Catarina (Florianópolis and Lages) of Brazil. In general, percentage results for non-volitional factive verbs do not differ among the four locations, showing a preferential context of use of the present subjunctive. Otherwise, indiferente verbs of opinion have relatively balanced variation in the Northeast; in the South, the context shows to be responsive to the use of indicative.
