O pronome clítico de terceira pessoa: adquirido ou aprendido?

Abstract

This dissertation assumes the generative framework, notably, Principle & Parameters, and our aim to demonstrate that the modality of language taught in schools there is a tendency to keep some items no longer used in oral mode like the pronoun in question. The background used some previous studies such as Kato (2005), Galves (2001), Magalhães (2000), Correa (1991), among others that discuss this issue. To produce it we analyze some texts produced by elementary school students of a private school in the Maceió city, in order to demonstrate that the type of Portuguese taught in schools tends maintain, through rules, sometimes no longer used by speakers in oral mode of language. We also observe that clitc pronouns did not use in oral mode. The results obtained support the view that differences observed between spoken and written languages.
