O Processo sintático de subordinação substantiva nos livros didáticos: uma proposta de ensino produtivo das estruturas oracionais

Abstract

This dissertation aims to do a critical review of the schoolbooks approach when it is related to the syntactic process of noun clauses. The main goal is to give suggestions for a possible pedagogical practice. The motivation to this kind of investigation is the traditional way of teaching grammar, strongly associated to formal aspects and classification of linguistic elements. The analysis corpus was composed by three middle schoolbook collections. Assuming the conflict between the teacher s guide proposal and the practical subject approach, it was possible to justify the influence of metalanguage in teaching and the lack of coherence between what is foreboded in theory and what is, in fact, presented. According to some assumptions related to functional basis descriptive grammars, semantic aspects codified in these syntactic constructions were noticed, special attention was given to the discursive role of the main clauses. Finally, it is presented an approach proposal based on the functionalities of these clauses, in order to make the classroom practice richer and more efficient
