As part of sociolinguistic researches developed by ALIP (speech samples from the countryside region of São Paulo) Project, in this paper we present general results for three variable phenomena of speech from countryside region of São Paulo State: (i) verbal agreement of first person plural; (ii) verbal agreement of third person plural; (iii) pronominal alternation between the forms of first person plural of discourse "nós" (we) and "a gente". Based on principles of Labovian Sociolinguistics, whereby interdialectal comparison, we show how these variable phenomena are inserted in the Brazilian Sociolinguistics panorama. The results allow us to find similarities and differences among the speech from countryside region of São Paulo State and other varieties from Brazilian Portuguese, highlighting the relevance of the description of this variety still little known in the Brazilian Sociolinguistics panorama.
