O dialeto italiano e a troca do “erre forte” pelo “erre fraco”: preconceito linguístico nas escolas

Abstract

The object of study of this research is to present, through existing bibliographic studies, an aspect of the language spoken in the southern region of Brazil, especially the influence of cultural, linguistic and historical factors of the region that contribute to the exchange of the "erre forte" (/r/ - vibrant) by "erre fraco" (/r/ - tepe). In addition, this study also aims to address, through theoretical texts, some aspects of the linguistic prejudice present in Brazilian schools, in relation to the speech of people who have some contact with the Italian language and especially how it affects the individual's life. For this, several studies were used, such as those of Kons (2007), Cubas, Venera and Falcão (2001), Frosi , Faggion and Dal Corno (2008) and Gubert (2012), in which some data on the Italian immigration process in the Brazilian territory were found. The studies of Curioletti and Battisti (2022), Jezuz and Gritti (2017), Scholtz (2014) apud Valiati (2018), Mileski (2015), Velho (2017), Frosi and Mioranza (1983) apud Margotti (2004), Battisti and Martins (2011), Labov (2008,1972) and Monaretto (1997) brought results on the exchange of vibrant /r/ for /r/ tepe. And the authors Spessatto (2001,2011), Margotti (2004), Bagno (1999,2007), Valiati (2005), Britto (2004) apud Schneider (2009), Bortoni-Ricardo (2005) apud Valiati (2018) and Silva (2016) present in their studies the linguistic prejudice, unfortunately, still existing today Especially with people who have traces of variation in their speech. Finally, Miazzo (2011) points us to a study on the Italian dialect and Corrêa (2009) exposes that the language spoken in the southern region of Brazil is totally influenced by the Italian language. Camacho (2004), addressed the geographical varieties and how this impacts on speech, Martins (2003) presents us with a study on sociolinguistics and the importance of this area of studies. Gorski and Coelho (2009) bring studies on what is linguistic variation. And finally, Rocha (2019) shows us a study on standard norm in the Portuguese language. Therefore, through these studies, it was possible to identify that the exchange of vibrant /r/ for /r/ tepe occurs due to the contact between the two languages Italian and Portuguese, and also by the influence that one exerts under the other in relation to speech, most of the Italian immigrants who settled in the south of the Brazil came from the north of Italy, mainly from the region of Veneto and in the speech of these immigrants the use of /r/ tepe predominates, as shown by the studies of Frosi and Mioranza (1983) apud Margotti (2019), Jezuz and Gritti (2017) and Battisti and Martins (2011).Linguistic prejudice stands out in this study, because there is still a lack of understanding of Portuguese language teachers, like other professionals of Education on the presence and exchange of "erres" in the spoken language.
