Variação linguística e concepções de linguagem no livro didático de língua portuguesa do Ensino médio

Abstract

This article discusses the approach to linguist variation and the relationship with language conceptions based on an analysis in the Portuguese language textbook of the 1st year of High School. The theoretical studies that supported this analysus were: Araújo and Pereira (2017), Fiorin,(2013), Bagno (2007), Travaglia (2009), among others. For this, a descriptive analysis of the selected didactic material was carried out: the book “Being a protagonist: Portuguese Language”, indicated for the 1st year of High School, 2016 edition. In the analysis of the treatment of linguistic variation present in the textbook, we observed that the material presents, in the Language Practices section, the main concepts about linguistic variation, as it situates and provides the reader with the concepts and characteristics relevant to this content. Regarding the conception of language, we observed that the perception of social practice guides the proposals of the LD, however, in some activities presented follow a perspective of recognition and reproduction of knowledge, contradicting the conception of language as social interaction.
