its materiality. As theoretical background, the family resemblance and perceptual magnet effect models, proposed by Elianor Rusch, following Wittgenstein, and Patricia Kuhl, respectively, were considered and complemented by the hypothesis of motherese as a stimulus. These proposals were taken as the starting point for the acquisition. The discussion on change, in turn, was based on the models of the Mathematical Theory of Communication, by Claude Shannon and reformulated by Roman Jakobson and Niklas Luhmann. Data from Finnish and German were considered as arguments that justified the change from Latin to Portuguese as a result of the perception according to the proposed models. Based on these arguments, it was concluded that the change would arise from cumulative reactions, characterized as acquisition by the initial formation of prototypical forms, which would undergo subsequent changes as the system reacts to external stimuli.
