O apagamento do rótico em posição de coda silábica na escrita escolar

Abstract

This work investigates the deletion of the R in coda position at the end of words in texts from 6th grade students of a public school in the municipality of Ananindeua. In the light of Variationist Sociolinguistics, an analysis of a variationist nature was carried out in texts of the short story genre, produced in the context of the classroom, in order to observe the use (or not), by students, of the R in the end. of words and the interference of speech in the occurrence of this phenomenon. The analysis of linguistic and extralinguistic groups aims to identify the factors that effectively favor the occurrence of the phenomenon under study, in order to serve as information for the development of a didactic-pedagogical intervention proposal with the purpose of helping the teacher and enabling the student to expansion of their communicative competence and linguistic repertoire on the topic in question. The texts were collected in the classroom after reading and discussing a short story that served as the basis for the students' production. A quantitative analysis of data from students' texts was carried out using the variable rule program GoldVarb X, which showed a significant influence of factors such as gender, word length and the type of vowel that precedes the rhotic for the occurrence of the phenomenon. Based on the results obtained and on the reflections on Portuguese Language teaching, an intervention proposal was elaborated with the aim of offering teachers and students an alternative to study the object under analysis that would make the student reflect and operate on language, making more conscious use of the rules for the use of R at the end of words in situations of greater or lesser monitoring, according to communicative intentions and purposes.
