Variação linguística versus norma culta nas aulas de língua portuguesa em uma escola pública da cidade de Jales/SP

Abstract

This research had as main objective to investigate the occurrence of vocabulary, syntagmas and syntactic constructions in the writing of 8th grade students from Elementary School, at a state public school in Jales / SP, and what they represent in the conceptualization of the Brazilian culture standard and use of the linguistic phenomena proposed by Bagno (2001). Starting from the need of understanding the diversity of Brazilian society's discourses and the linguistic prejudice that is established in this context, the interest arose in carrying out this study, which consisted of a bibliographical review of books and scientific articles on the subject, published on websites and printed and in the analysis of productions written by students. The results pointed out a great distance between non-standard and standard Portuguese, between colloquial norm and standard Portuguese, in the students' writing, which demands a constant work from the teacher, in order to make students aware of their relationship of how language works, depending on its context of production, in order to bring about the diminution of linguistic prejudice.
