This dissertation entitled Semantic-Lexical Atlas of Nova Mutum, henceforth ASeLNoMu, has linguistic variation as it theme. Its objective is to identify the semantic-lexical variants in use in the four survey points, in the city of Nova Mutum, located in the middle northern region of the state of Mato Grosso, tracing sociolinguistic pictures under the lexical semantic aspect of the contribution of the speakers of migrants and informants born in this city. Furthermore, to describe the linguistic context of contact of many Brazilian Portuguese speakers in a region recently occupied by the internal migratory process that took place from the middle of the 20th century. To carry out this research we followed the theoretical and methodological assumptions of Pluridimensional Dialectology (RADTKE and THUN, 1996) and THUN (1998; 2005; 2009). Linguistic charts data were also elaborated contemplating the diatopic, diageneric, and diagenerational dimensions. The instrument for data collection was the Lexical Semantic Questionnaire (QSL), with 202 questions, from the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil (ALiB), 2001 version. The interviews were conducted with 32 Mutuenses, in 4 survey points. The paper is organized in 4 chapters and the data were collected from the application of the Semantic-Lexical Questionnaire (QSL/ALiB) in recorded interviews, transcribed and stored in a database, generating the basis for the treatment of information in the format of tables and linguistic charts. For each question a chart was generated, which besides revealing the variants in greater occurrence in Nova Mutum, showed a set of sociolinguistic pictures of the diatopic distribution and the topodynamic influence of this geographic, social, historical and cultural space.
