The treatment of linguistic variation in textbooks adopted in Pernambuco: reflections on the curricular proposal
Linguistic variation. educational sociolinguistc. didatic book, Pernambuco.
This research aims to analyze the treatment of linguistic variation as knowledge object in four collections of textbooks approved by the PNLD 2020 for the triennium 2023, adopted in Pernambuco that correspond to the four spheres of teaching: municipal school, state school, Application and private school, doing a reflection around the curricular proposal of basic education II. The object of research was thought with base in the inquires during my performance through the guiding documents from as Portuguese teacher about the approach of treatment of linguistic variation in the notebooks. The theoretical reference used in this research is based on the studies of Sociolinguistics (Labov,([1972]2008),), more specifically, of Educational Sociolinguistics (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2004; Bagno, 2007). We emphasize the importance of this theory in promoting a practice based on the pedagogy of linguistic variation of effective appreciation of the different varieties and forms of use existing of brazilian portuguese as mother tongue. For this study, we have adopted the procedure of document analysis of a qualitative/interpretative character as being a more appropriate method that meets the purpose of the research. So far, the preliminary results point out that the treatment of linguistic variation didactic books analyzed, receives little in-depth, not satisfyingly addressing what is envisaged by the curricular proposal. In the collection destined for the municipality, the theme is treated as the object of knowledge in the 6th and 9th years, and in the collection dedicated to the state network only in the 7th and 9th years, the collection for the application school and the private school, it will be treated only for 6th and 9th years. Therefore, the expectation is that this work contributes to the discussions on linguistic variation in the school contexts in Pernambuco, taking as a starting point that language is not homogeneous.
