Sumario:This work intends to investigate the rules of raising and lowering the pretonic average vowel /O/, in the light of Variationist Sociolinguistics (LABOV, 2008; WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 2006), analyzing the influence of the social factors sex (female and male), age (from 20 to 60 years and over 60 years), schooling (non literate and literate) and locality (Ceará, Paraíba and Bahia) favoring both rules. For this, the occurrences of the variants /?/, /?/ and /?/ were present in the phonetic charts Linguistic Atlas of Bahia (ROSSI, ISENSÉE, FERREIRA, 1963), Paraíba (ARAGÃO, MENEZES, 1984) and Ceará (BESSA, 2010). The data were collected, coded and submitted to the statistical analysis of the Goldvarb X program. The results revealed that there is a predominance of the elevation rule in Ceará and Bahia as opposed to the maintenance of the pretonic /O/, whereas in Paraíba the lowering rule prevails this pretonic.
