A relação oralidade/escrita na produção de textos por sujeitos surdos na clínica fonoaudiológica

Abstract

This thesis is a qualitative study, aiming to analyze the orality/writing relationship from texts produced by deaf subjects in the speech and language clinic, reflecting on how this writing reveals and allows to think characteristics of the alphabetical writing, as well as to establish some clues of the relationship of the deaf subject with this writing and its functioning. We opted for Carlo Ginzburg's (2004) paradigm of evidence methodology, which studies the singular data, with the premise that they allow, precisely, not residual data, to reveal what we want to investigate. In our case, we discuss the writing of Portuguese, oral language of alphabetical writing, by the deaf in the speech-language clinic. The texts that compose our corpus were selected from the results obtained in activities carried out in speech therapy between 2003 and 2015, with six subjects of both sexes, with bilateral hearing loss of varying degrees, users of Brasilian Sign Language and/or Portuguese and/or orofacial reading, who, at the time of writing, were between 10 and 18 years of age. In this way, we work with non-standardized texts. In order to carry out the analysis, we take Saussure as a theoretical foundation, as well as privileging the discussions undertaken by Borges (2006) and Bosco (2009), who investigated the acquisition of written language from Interactionism linked to the theorizing of De Lemos. We have questioned the fact that writing is taken as a representation of orality, which is conceived as naturally prior to it. In this relation, writing is assigned a secondary value. Although access to orality seems very naturally to support the acquisition of writing by the listener, we argue that its absence calls us to explore other possibilities not so obvious. From Interactionism, we understand that the diverse possibilities of representations realized by the deaf subjects are responsible for writings so different and, at the same time, surprisingly similar. The singular data made it possible to understand that the writing of Portuguese by the deaf is not the sum of crystallized blocks, nor does it present dependence on the phonationalization when it is orchestrated. We note that deaf and hearing can read and write in blocks, however, we see the displacement of these blocks that denounce a relation of crossing of the subject by the symbolic functioning of the language. Thus, we conclude that in writing the subject moves on the language.
