This research aims to describe and analyze the consequences of linguistic contact between the dialect varieties spoken by Italian immigrants and Portuguese in Santa Teresa, Espírito Santo. To accomplish that study a speech database composed for twenty-four sociolinguistic interviews was made with residents of the urban area of Santa Teresa, all descendants of Italian immigrants, classified by their sex / gender (male and female), age (12-25, 26-50 and over 50) and education (up to 08 years and above 08 years of schooling). It was investigated the pronunciation of dental stop consonants / t / and / d / before / i / by the interviewees, given that this pronunciation is done differently in the languages in question. After analyzing the data collected, it was seen that the language of Italian descendants of the urban area of Santa Teresa is distinguished by three social variables. Regarding the linguistic variables, the tone of the syllable was selected only for the phoneme / t /. This way, pronunciation / t / and / d / influence with the immigration language is more present in informants aged over 50, male and lower educational level. Thus, we confirm the change in progress in relation to this feature of the resulting language contact. This research is justified, then the contribution that gives language contact studies and also the description of the language in Espirito Santo, given the limited research in that location.
