A aquisição da linguagem em crianças Coda

Abstract

This search aims to investigate language acquisition in CODA children, who grow up in bilingual environments where Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) is the first language (L1) and Portuguese, in its oral and written form, is learned as a second language (L2). The research explores how these children simultaneously develop their linguistic abilities in two languages and how cognitive, social, and cultural factors influence this process. Through a literature review, including works by authors such as Sacks (1989), Petitto (2000), and Quadros (2020), the study examines the impact of early bilingualism on cognitive development, bicultural identity construction, and the challenges faced by these children in educational and social contexts. Furthermore, the study discusses the implications for education and public inclusion policies, emphasizing the importance of pedagogical practices that respect the linguistic and cultural diversity of these children.
