O estudo da variação linguistica lexical como ferramenta de ensino: uma análise do livro didático do 6° ano do Ensino Fundamental II.

Abstract

It is well known that our portuguese language, since its emergence until today, has undergone several modifications, it originated from latin and is part of the neo-latin group of languages, which are: Portuguese, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, Romanian and Romansh. The work with lexical linguistic variation in the classroom, through the bias of sociolinguistics, which studies the relationship between language and society, enables a greater understanding of the phenomena existing in the language, which is the means by which ideas are communicated. The general objective of this work is to highlight the importance of working on lexical language variation within the classroom, showing the ability that the language has to evolve with over time, as well as, to comprehend that words are replaced by others all the time. But, even though they are not used in our daily life, they do not lose their meaning. If we take a text, written years ago, we will find words that are not used frequently in our means of oral/written communication, but which do not compromise the meaning of the text. Therefore, this work has as specific objective, to analyse how the study of lexical variation has been work on textbook, Se liga na língua, from the 6th grade of elementary school II, and which has as authors Ormundo e Siniscalchi (2023). We developed after the analysis of the book, a teaching proposal using the textual didactic sequence, and through it we propose the teaching of lexical linguistic variation from the reading of the text. Reading the text, debating with the class, before starting the study of lexical linguistic variation, will be a way to show the importance of studying the language and the transformation that it has been undergoing throughout the time. To develop this research, the following references were used: Gonsalves e Basso (2010), which works on the history of language; Assis (2011), History of the Portuguese Language; Bagno (2007), historical grammar; Koche (1997), fundamentals of research methodology; Schneuwly e Dolz (2004), oral and written genders at school etc. The methodology is bibliographical in nature, since we used previously published materials already such as books and scientific articles. Through this research we had the opportunity to explore and learn more about the emergence of our language, as well as the variation that it has undergone and is still undergoing throughout all these years. Understanding how the Portuguese language was built allows us to develop new ways of working with linguistic variation from a teaching perspective.
