Abstract

This paper aims to describe the contributions of studies on the perception of sociolinguistic variation to the development of Theoretical Linguistics. To achieve this, we discuss the concepts of perception, attitude, and social evaluation, aiming to delineate the scope of each one. Additionally, we review studies produced within this theoretical and methodological perspective, highlighting their contributions and justifying their relevance to understanding the mechanism of change. Finally, we describe the role of perception in providing evidence for the development of a representational model. With this, the complementarity between methods and objectives of production and perception studies is demonstrated, contributing to the enhancement of research and the consequent expansion of knowledge about the nature of the linguistic compentence.
