Análise do contínuo fala-escrita no aplicativo WhatsApp.

Abstract

In this work, we analyze broadly the continuous speech-writing in the WhatsApp applicative, observing the language used by people who were born and who were not born in the digital age, for that, we examine the language used by the students of the first year "B" of a school in João Pessoa/PB, as well as that used by the teacher and the trainee of the same school. The methodological criteria used in the research were the students/participants who interacted most in all the conversations and the subjects related to the school routine, this criterion also served to choose the dialogues between the teacher and the trainee. In order to base our research, we use as theoretical contribution the following authors: Dutra and Simões (2014), Koch and Elias (2009), Marcuschi (2001/2008), Reis (2013), Magnabosco (2009) and Komesu and Tenani (2009). After analyzing the excerpts of the dialogues, we conclude that, although writing is not a representation of speech, it is possible to perceive the marks of orality in the texts written in this applicative, and we also found that “internetês” is the predominant language among students, if compared to their use by the teacher and the trainee.
