Contribuições da semântica para a sala de aula: uma proposta de atividades epilinguísticas

Abstract

This monograph aims to discuss how to apply the practices of Linguistic Analysis to Portuguese language classes focused on basic education by developing of guided activities on issues of nature-semantic pragmatic. To this end, it starts with an overview about methods of teaching the mother tongue, regarding the teaching of grammar topics, by conceptualizing the Linguistic Analysis and proposing such a practice as a substitute to traditional meta-linguistic exercises. In the sequel, it presents some suggestions of activities, which are created from statements in different text types, such as advertising text, humorous and reader's letter, that act as theoretical support by linking the examples to the theories and concepts. Thus, it shown that questions of Lexical Semantic, underlining the ambiguity and of Arguing Semantic, underlining notion of argumentative operators allow the development of reflective activities. As final considerations, it suggested that teachers should have a special attention in the contribution from the field of Semantic reflective language teaching, since epilinguistic activity assumes that the understanding of the structure of language and the reading comprehension are connected to understanding of the meaning.
