Monotongação: um fenômeno fonético-fonológico na variável.

Abstract

This work has as main objective to propose activities about the phonological-phonological phenomenon of monotongation, that can help the teachers and students in the writing of the diphthongs that can monotongar. The phonetic process of monotongation, by nature, occurs by transforming the encounter of a vowel, followed by a semivowel or glide (decreasing diphthong) on the same syllable, in a simple vowel. Thus, the work will bring activities aimed at directing teachers and students around the phenomenon of monotongation in the writing of Brazilian Portuguese, allowing reflections around the various situations of use of language variants applied in the use of language in daily life. For this, the research starts from brief reflections of the studies of Variationist Sociolinguistics, having as central point the eminent figure of this subject, the student Labov. Then, we will take a look at the phenomenon of monotongation, from the works of Câmara Jr (2004); Time (2009); Coelho (2010) and Machado (2012), and finally, according to the presented theory, we will carry out a series of activities, aiming at a didactic and methodological understanding of the theme. The role of the activities proposed to ratify the phenomenon of monotongation in writing and became available as a source of research and references, to be used in another possible research.
