A relação entre consciência morfológica e competência morfológica na leitura de palavras derivadas em português brasileiro.

Abstract

Morphological awareness has been investigated in order to find evidence of its effects on reading. The main objective of the present study is to investigate the relation of morphological awareness, morphological competence and reading through on-line tasks. For this we use a task of analogy of words (CF.JUSTI, 2009) and we observe the reading of derived words by university students who speak Brazilian Portuguese (PB), since it presents a greater correspondence between ortography and phonology. This linguistic ability requires the reader to have a clearer level of integration between morphological awareness and morphological competence. The results indicate that morphological awareness and morphological competence are important for the reading of words with more complex morphology in PB and need greater attention within linguistic studies.
