O USO DO HÍFEN APÓS O ACORDO ORTOGRÁFICO DE 1990

Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to analyze the use of the hyphen after the new rules of the 1990 Orthographic Agreement. This Agreement was carried out between Portuguese-speaking countries, aiming to establish a cultural, political and linguistic union. The orthographic agreement signed in 1990 caused changes in the spelling of some words in our language, influencing the writing in different ways. In this work, we research the formation of the Portuguese language spelling, the spelling changes established with the mandatory use of the new rules of the Spelling Agreement from 2016 and how the education system has adapted to these spelling changes. Methodologically, this is a bibliographic work. Antunes (1990), Bechara (2015) and the Orthographic Agreement signed in 1990 served as bibliographic support. With this work, we could see that there is a wide range of rules regarding the use of the hyphen and that they often present exceptions, which hinders the teaching-learning process related to the use of the hyphen.
