Conteúdos de língua portuguesa em ambientes da web.

Abstract

With the emergence and growth of Internet, we have seen that environments in this mean have been providing a variety of opportunities for access to various contents and information through websites, blogs, video lessons, social networking etc. Facing a new reality in which multiple languages are central to the disclosure, explanation and information treatment to locate content in a general way. In this scenario, we look for spaces that are dedicated to addressing Portuguese language content (PL) and define two questions that guided the research: Which language conception underlies the grammar content exposed in the web environment? and What treatment is given to those contents considering the theoretical and methodological point of view? Based on these questions, we aim to analyze the approach(es) of Portuguese language content on web pages. In order to do so, we discuss the environments that address Portuguese grammar content; we identify and characterize the language conception(s) underlying Portuguese grammar contents on the web, from a theoretical and methodological point of view and we analyze the impact of those conceptions identified concerning the content disclosure on the Internet. Therefore, the research is based on two main theoretical axes: the virtual environment and its relationship with teaching/learning and the study about language teaching. Regarding the first, we bring theoretical contributions of Barton & Lee (2015); Braga (2013); Carvalho (2006); Martins (2000); Gomes & Silva (2006); Recuero (2014) etc. Regarding the second, we bring theoretical contributions of Sausurre (2006); Chomsky (2006); Ilari e Basso (2006); Bronckart, (1999); Lucchesi (2006); Travaglia (1996), Mendonça (2009), among others. From a descriptive and interpretive methodology nature and documentary analysis of the materials available on the network, the constitution of the corpus was defined through postings in blogs, websites and Facebook pages. Results have shown a treatment of grammar content on the web aimed, primarily, at a language perspective as a representation of thought and linked to grammar-normative approach to grammatical phenomena that herald. This indicates an outdated approach for a teaching/learning work about grammar topics in these posts that, as they are detached from a contextual, reflective and critical relationship of language usage, they may not be the best alternative yet to address the contents heralded in these spaces.
