A consciência fonológica na aquisição de l2: uma discussão terminológica.

Abstract

The discussion about the role of phonological awareness in second language (L2) phonological acquisition is not new. However, many papers use a diferent terminology to refer to this cognitive ability. This paper aims to present diferent terminologies used in works on L2 acquisition, discuss theoretical positions that led to those nomenclatures, as well as describe their characteristics. The analysis took place in an eminently theoretical way, from 52 scientiic works, and revealed at least 11 terms to refer to phonological awareness, which were discussed throughout this article.
