Abstract

This article is a descriptive study whose corpus of analysis is part of the unprecedented database of the Atlas Linguistic Project of Brazil - ALiB. From the geolinguistic perspective, the diatopic distribution of designations that cover the concept of question 51 of the ALiB Project's Semantic-Lexical Questionnaire (National Committee 2001) is discussed. Data are presented in graphic, table and linguistic maps from 316 respondents, divided equally between men and women and two age groups (age group I: 18 to 30 / age group II: 50 to 65 years), and distributed in 79 municipalities in the Southeast Region of Brazil, with four respondents with basic education per location. In summary, from analyzed data, there is high response abstention rate in the Region and use of two main forms of mandioca (cassava) and mandioca brava (wild cassava) depending on the federal state.
