Through this study, we discussed cases of hypercorrection present in the speech of unemployed adults in the city of Maceió. With this purpose in mind, we based our focus on the theoretical premises of the Variationist Sociolinguistic Theory. (LABOV,2008 [1972]). Our main goal was to demonstrate that the occasions of hypercorrection in the speech of these informants are motivated by linguistic and extra-linguistic factors, being, the last referred, relative to sex and age. The corpus was collected by means of interviews with 24 (twenty four) adult speakers of both sexes, belonging to two groups of age: the first group, involving people of ages 17 through 30; the second, informants of ages 31 through 55, in the Sine - Sistema Nacional de Emprego, of the state of Alagoas. As a result of this study, we have concluded that the hypercorrections may occur on the fields of phonetics, morphology, semantics and syntax, being susceptible to influence from the following extra-linguistic factors: age, sex and situational context.
