O conhecimento das variações linguísticas e a ascensão social do indivíduo

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the relationship of knowledge of linguistic variations and cognitive development, economic, political and social conditions. We aimed to discuss the notion of language and understanding that only the field of Standard of the Portuguese language is the only one able to provide the individual with these different types of development. We assume that the use of the Portuguese language is through its variations in daily practice and that one cannot ignore the acquisition of knowledge obtained in the different situations of social interaction, even in areas that are not properly formalized institutions for learning. We also believe that the teacher is not solely responsible for the transmission of knowledge. We believe, therefore, that it cannot limit the school environment as the exclusive venue for the development of human beings, as this occurs in various forms and communication environments: the workplace, schools, social groups, virtual social networks, where use is made of the different language variations. In this way, we turn to discuss the concept of linguistic prejudice and linguistic varieties, considering the use of language in its various contexts of communication. Therefore, we made a literature review and take as a theoretical studies developed by BAGNO (1999, 2010), BECHARA (2001) and SOARES (1993), authors who, over the linguistic studies, developed a relevant reflection on the subject.
