Preconceito e variação linguística: projeto de ensino a partir de variações linguísticas em contos orais do Vale do Jequitinhonha - MG

Abstract

The project presented here will develop procedures and processes that aim to put students and teachers in investigative contact with the theme of linguistic variation from an empirical perspective, in which experience and observation will be the basis for proving and measuring William Labov's theory, according to which there is within the processes of variation a heterogeneity, however ordered. According to the Labovian variationist view, the language aggregates inherent possibilities of variation, however possible of structuring according to the competence of the speakers. The phenomenon to be observed (linguistic variation) is found in a corpus of oral narratives recorded by the Project Who Tells a Tale Increases a Point. To facilitate the processes, the transcribed narratives are found respectively in annexes 01, 02 and 03 of the text and the stories in MP3 audio format are referenced in links that can be accessed through mobile technologies. The project is developed in stages that will overlap until reaching a final product where students and teachers will be able to depart from the field of observation to reach a final product in which the linguistic variation phenomenon will be described. Such steps, it is believed, will put students and teachers on a path of building knowledge, where one starts from observation for later verification of hypotheses with multiple possibilities for describing linguistic variation.
