Abstract

Geolinguistic and dialectological studies comprise several stages such as definition of the object of study, objective, methodology, profile and selection of the informants, definition and preparation of the interviewers, financing, preparation of material for the interviews, establishment of the points of contact, selection of informants, the conduct of interviews, among others. Among the authors who discuss the stages of this work are Brandão (1991), Aragão (1998), Ferreira (1998), Aguilera (1998) and Caruso (2005). For this study, the conduction of the interview in field research is what matters. The objective of this paper is to analyze the strategies of the inquirer to obtain adequate answers from the informants. The corpus of this research considers the 40 interviews of the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil (ALiB), in five capitals of the Northeast of Brazil: Salvador (BA), Aracaju (SE), Maceió (AL), Recife (PE) and João Pessoa (PB). The data collection consisted of the analysis of question 102 of the QFF. From the corpus analyzed, the interviewers achieved the desired response in 29 interviews, totalizing 72.5%. The results point to different strategies of the inquirer to obtain the expected response.
