Língua correta?: uma análise dos mitos, intolerância e preconceitos linguísticos presentes nos vídeos da professora Cíntia Chagas

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze and problematize the presence of myths, intolerance and linguistic prejudices in the speeches of Portuguese language teacher Cintia Chagas. The research is justified by the interest in deconstructing the notion of correct language proposed by normative grammar, defended by Chagas in her videos, because we believe that by determining what is right or wrong, normative grammar creates a negative value judgment of the linguistic variations present in the language, without taking into account the social factors for which they exist, providing a type of prejudice that has become increasingly common in our society: linguistic. Qualitative biographical methods were used to carry out the research, which was carried out through the orthographic description of the teacher's viral videos. It was concluded that the teacher is unaware of the linguistic phenomena that explain the phenomena of linguistic variation and that her behavior towards the dynamism of language is that of an elitist, prejudiced and arrogant person. To support this work, we used theorists, especially those who study language in its real aspects of use, such as Bagno, Bertoni-Ricardo, Ilari, Faraco and others.
