Sambas que dão aulas : a expressividade linguística nas canções de Nei Lopes e Arlindo Cruz

Abstract

The present work aims at establishing a critical view of the teaching of the Portuguese language, indicating the important theoretical and practical aspects, in the teaching/learning process, and the proposals of stylistic analyses of Nei Lopes and Arlindo Cruz s songs. Some functional aspects of the language are reiterated in association with communicative situations, aiming at the formation of the linguistic citizen. Expressive resources present in ten songs of each composer are investigated, building, thus, the corpus of the research. For the theoretical analyses, the Stylistics principles proposed by Nilce Sant Anna Martins, Manuel Rodrigues lapa, Marcel Cressot, among others, are revisited, describing the concept of style, the representation of affectiveness in the language, the value of the expression, the marks of subjectivity. The trajectory of the samba in Rio de Janeiro city and the roots of the musical genre are indicated. The cultural identity of the carioca people and the importance of the composers studied, concerning the linguistic-cultural representations, are highlighted. Throughout the analyses, the compositions such as Sambas that Teach are considerece productive and pleasant material to approach the mother tongue
