This work studies the verbal agreement in the speech of African descent Muquém maroon community, located in União dos Palmares - Alagoas and aims to describe it and analyze it by means of the Theory of Variation Sociolinguistics, William Labov (2008 [1972] .) The corpus that serves as the basis for research is published in the book edited by Moura (2009) and available on the website http://www.fale.ufal.br/projeto/prelin/bancodedados.php. It consists of 14 interviews were recorded and transcribed according to the orthographic rules and criteria adopted by the Program for Linguistic Studies (PRELIN) of TALK / UFAL available http://www.fale.ufal.br/projeto/Prelin/. Through this analysis, we observed that the phenomenon studied has variable behavior between the presence and absence of marks of agreement, conditioned by internal and external influences the linguistic system. Groups of factors studied, the variable number-one relationship, the variable elements intervening between subject and verb, the variable age and education variable is demonstrated significant for conditioning the core flavor.
