"Certo" ou "errado": o ensino da variação linguística e a perpetuação do preconceito linguístico nos livros didáticos de língua portuguesa

Abstract

Given that we live in a conservative, prejudiced society, dealing with discussions at the interface of language in education is not na easy task for teachers. Thinking about this, and believing that such a discussion is necessary and urgente, in order to problematize the teaching of language, I take as corpus in this research activities of textbooks of Portuguese Language, aiming to understand the linguistic variation and how the textbooks end up reproducing the prejudice linguistic. As a methodology for analysis, we use the activities proposed in textbooks, based on the perspective of sociolinguistics. The work is inserted in the field of Linguistics, and is justified in the sense of understanding that there is not only a single form of writing and speaking, the Portuguese language, since it has many varieties. We see the importance of the deconstruction of linguistic prejudice, which is not only about linguistic but also social issues, to show the importance that every native speaker dominates his language perfectly. In turn, the school must observe that it is necessary to know the sociolinguistic reality in the school contexto, thus increasing the students’ linguistic knowledge and not discriminating or putting labels that do not know anything of their own language. This study contributes to the visibility of the diferente linguistic varieties used by Portuguese speakers. For this, I take as theoretical foundation authors such as: Antunes (2012); Bagno (1999); Bortoni-Ricardo (2004) etc.
