This article presents an analysis carried out on the phenomenon of monotongation in the
Potiguar linguistic variety from the perspective of the Variationist Sociolinguistics. Through
the study, we aim to investigate whether there is a correlation between the phenomenon
of monotongation and the linguistic and extralinguistic factors found in some cities in the
state of Rio Grande do Norte - Brazil. Sixteen phonetic-phonological linguistic letters
extracted from the Atlas Linguístico do Centro-Oeste Potiguar and the Atlas Geolinguístico
do Litoral Potiguar, authored by researchers Silva (2012) and Pereira (2007), respectively,
were analyzed. Atlas data were collected from 56 informants from the State of Rio Grande
do Norte. The results revealed that there is a certain influence of the occurrence of
monotongation with the social factor locality of the speaker, the other social factors gender
and age group were not related to the deletion of the semivowels / j / and / w / in
diphthongs / ej /, / aj /, / ow /.
