Resumo

Language, identity and culture are deeply linked, even in a world increasingly connected online. In Brazil, researchers have developed Linguistic Atlases to document and understand the results of different linguistic contacts. The "Atlas of Languages in Contact at the Border: Western Santa Catarina" (ALCF-OC) focuses on recording the different linguistic varieties of Portuguese used by descendants of Italian, German, Russian, Polish and Israeli immigrants in the West region of Santa Catarina. This article examines the linguistic vitality of talian in Riqueza, Santa Catarina, taking into account the beliefs and linguistic attitudes of Italo-Brazilians. The research follows the principles of Pluridimensional and Relational Dialectology and UNESCO parameters, aiming to identify factors that influence the maintenance or replacement of the minority language, encompassing dimensions such as generation, class and gender. Riqueza, an agricultural municipality colonized by German-Russian and Italian immigrants, is a dynamic scenario, considering linguistic and extralinguistic factors. The results indicate the low vitality of talian in Riqueza, attributed to social factors, including the diminished prestige, the lack of intergenerational transmission, the negligence of public authorities in relation to its teaching and registration, among others.
