This paper aims to describe and to analyze negative constructions in the speech of residents of the rural area of Piranga, Minas Gerais State. The selected constructions were: [Não V], [Não V Não] and [V Não]. The theoretical framework used to perform the work was the Quantitative Sociolinguistics. For purposes of description, we used two external factors: sex and age. From the corpus analysis and the comparison with other works about the negatives in the Mineiro Dialect - Camargos (1998), Alkmim (2001) and Sousa (2004) - it was found that the innovative variants [Não V Não] and [V não] present a profile of a possible change in progress and that males would be taking forward this change.
