Oralidade e escrita: o tratamento do erro ortográfico em textos de alunos de 8º e 9º ano

Abstract

This work presents a study about the influence of oral language on the writing of students from the final years of elementary school. The objective is to classify and analyze "errors" more frequently in the orthographic point of view and to point out the phonological cause. The interest for this study was born with the Portuguese Phonology classes, offered by the university and supervised internship at a public school in the city of Água Branca, Alagoas, when we perceived a considerable occurrence of the orality mark in writing, in a time when it is necessary for the student to present a certain domain of written language. The corpus consists of 107 texts of 8th and 9th grade students produced in the classroom through an activity guided by the teacher. Of the collected texts, the "errors" that appeared in greater number were highlighted, grouping them according to each deviation of the orthographic norm while the phonological influence is identified. This study is based on the theoretical contributions of some authors such as Cristófaro-Silva (2003), Cagliari (2009) and Marcuschi (2003). The result of this study shows that even students of the final years of Elementary School continue to bring in their written productions errors of greater recurrence of Phonetic Transcription.
