The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the language present in the popular manifestation of “Folia da Roça” performed in the region of Formosa – GO. The methodology adopted was characterized by the qualitative approach of ethnographic base through the interaction with revelers and praying women during the annual feasting events of 2013, and 2014, in the rural area of the reported township, shifting focus to the rites that take place through prayers and life stories. The premise of the defence of this thesis is that the language of “Folia da Roça” preserves elements of the ibero-christian tradition, adapted to the local reality before the new conditions that take place amidst processes of urbanization and globalization. These influences were investigated by using the theoretic understructure of Ecolinguistics, a discipline that takes into consideration the study of language from the entanglement between the knowledge of Linguistics and Ecology, searching to describe interaction processes in which these categories manifest. Other guiding aspects of this research were: verify if the natural and social environments have any influence in the language of prayers; observe how ecclesiastic Latin is seized by those who speak rural Portuguese; investigate if values conveyed in the discourses of these protagonists are consistent with local wisdom or if they reflect patterns imported from the Iberian Peninsula during colonization; besides discussing and analyzing the memory of elders and their closer relatives in the prayers. By describing and analyzing the language of the feast, evidence is given of the adaptation and the resignification of official Catholic religious practice to the natural and social environments in which these protagonists are inserted. The religious ethic present there emerged as a result of the necessity of surviving in a historically hostile region, perpetuated by the interactions of its characters, transforming into an important and considerable manifestation of popular religiosity.
