This paper aims to present and reflect on data from previous sociolinguistic research, with the purpose of exemplifying studies and interests of the “three waves” of research in Sociolinguistics, since this area involves various approaches and develops research under a common assumption: language and society are inseparable. That said, this study is based on qualitative and bibliographic grounds, presenting the first wave studies as more statistical and binary, the second wave as ethnographic and the third wave as stylistic, detaching from binary patterns. These considerations are made possible in light of Labov (2008), Bagno (2007, 2017), Eckert & McConnell-Ginet (2010), Freitag (2015), among others.
