This work is devoted to describe the behavior of pretonic mid vowels <E>and <O> in the speech community of Iporá / GO and grasp the linguistic and social factors that control the occurence of variants. This variable phenomenon has role in the demarcation of dialect areas in Brazil, in which three variants are found: high [i, u], closed-mid [e, o] and open-mid [ε, ͻ]. Based on the methodology of Variationist Sociolinguistics, this research is based on the sample of 22 participants with stratified profile according to sex / gender, age and level of education and the correlation between selected language and social independent variables such as: height of the following vowel, preceding and following contexts, grammatical class, distance from the tonic vowel, sex/gender, age, level of education and origin. The collected data in sociolinguistic interviews, after being transcribed and coded, were processed using the statistical program Goldvarb X. The results without data (almost) categorical point that the variants closed-mid and open-mid vowels, in Iporá, present an approximate percentage and a different distribution in relation to Formosa/GO (GRAEBIN, 2008), the other speech sample of Goiás, in which was studied the same phenomenon. The vowel harmonization is the rule that controls more variation in the use of the three variants <E>and <O>. The variables are less active in this variation and it is not a change in progress, because the variant high is linked to low level of education and variant open-mid to the participant's origin Bahia. The variant high of <O> is favored by elderly and the variantclosed-mid of <O> by young. The variant closed-mid of <E> is favored by female and the open-mid of <E> by male.
