VARIAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA, TEXTO E ENSINO

Abstract

This research concerns linguistic variation and Portuguese teaching at

school. It is assumed that linguistic pattern is conceived by teachers as

an homogeneous norm, so that it is incompatible with linguistic norms

students face with in usual text reading and writing activities. Taking

into consideration official evaluation of didactic books, scholar reading

activities, and sociolinguistic results that prove school interference at

students writing performance, this article proposes that Portuguese

classes should present variation as complex continua in which is

displayed a plurality of norms.
