A fala e a escrita de alunos quilombolas: intersecção nos estratos da língua

Abstract

The thesis based on theories that proposes the study of the language in context of its use. The interest in the research theme is a result from the evident lack of scientific research on the universe of the students of a quilombola community, with focus on the population of Mato Grosso, specifically in the area of language. It is included in the area of Portuguese language studies. Is centered on three main aspects: 1) description of the uses of the Portuguese language by the students of the quilombola school community of Mata Cavalo; 2) discussion about the oral modality and the written modality of the language; 3) the different strata of the language, namely: the morphological, the syntactic and the phonological of both variants. In the oral modality, for the lexical morphological strata, the verbal forms will be analyzed in the infinitive, in the gerund and in the preterite. At the syntactic level it will be analyzed with focus on the nominal and verbal concordances and the discursive markers; and finally, in the phonological strata, the reduction of words will be the subject of analysis, as well as the description of the revitalization. In the written form with regard to the morph syntax strata it will be object of analysis the nominal agreement (use of article, adjective, pronoun, numeral and noun), verbal agreement (subject/verb), the use of colloquial expressions (orality marks), the deletion of the infinitive marking ending in the verbs, and the displacement of the tonic syllable. In the syntactic level it will analyzed the constructions of the periods by coordination and subordination, the use of punctuation marks (comma and full stop), and the imprecise use of cohesive resources. At the phonological level it will be analyzed the erasure equivalent to the deletion of a segment (consonant, vowel or glide) or of an entire syllable in the words. The conception of language adopted for this research is the socio-interactionist in which the oral or written text conceived as a place of interaction between the subjects. Regarding the methodology, the study inserted in the ethnographic perspective of a qualitative nature, and characterized as a linguistic-interpretative research. As a theoretical support, Textual Linguistics adopted, especially with regard to the existence of a continuum between the modalities of speech and writing, with the authors Marcuschi (2005, 2007, and 2008), Koch (1984, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2005) and Bakhtim (1988, and 2003) with regard to language as a social phenomenon. Authors, who discuss concepts related to pedagogical practice, such as Molica (1998) and Castilho (2006), also studied
