Por que não se escreve como se fala?

Abstract

In this study, we propose to analyze the origins of Linguistics and the relation with the speech and writing. In this way, we assume the humble and, a the same time, complex task of answering the question that provokes and intrigues us a lot: What makes us think even more why not speak and write in the same way? To this end, methodologically, a qualitative research was developed, of a bibliographic type, which was supported by the theorizations of authors, such as Souza and Crestani (2017), Faria (2018), Ely and Snichelotto (2020), Saussure (2012), Gnerre (1991), Marcuschi and Dionísio (2005) and Possenti (1996). Based on the bibliographic research developed, it is possible to emphasize that speech, as well as writing, need to be faced according to the different spaces and intentions of communication. We can compare speech and writing as a clothing that is based on a certain occasion, with writing being even more linked to the cultured norm compared to the use of spoken language. Finally, we emphasize our intention that this work contributes to the academic community and to the teachers of Basic Education, since speech and writing are, at the same time, intert wined and distant from each other.
