Abstract

The following study represents a research approach to the linguistic phenomenon of jargon present in the communicative acts of immigrants using Portuguese as a second language. As a theoretical basis, the hypothesis of Sapir-Whorf (1954) was followed to establish the way in which the use of the Portuguese language in real and significant contexts re-dimensioned the worldview of the users of Portuguese as a second language. In order to develop mixed research (qualitative-quantitative) a non-experimental methodology was used, with a qualitative approach of phenomenological type, since a descriptive correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 12 key informants, of Venezuelan nationality, residing in the Federative Republic of Brazil since 2020, in the state of São Paulo, who use Portuguese as a second language in their daily lives. The results show that the use of slangs has not only allowed users to feel more comfortable using a second language, but has also changed the way they experience communicative interactions. It is concluded that the use of slangs has a positive impact on the sociolinguistic relations of immigrant communities using Portuguese as a second language.
