Os futuros professores do Curso de Letras – Português pela Unipampa/UAB – polo Esteio/2021 e o preconceito linguístico: combatê-lo ou induzi-lo?

Abstract

This research aims to investigate whether future Portuguese and Literature teachers, graduates of the Literature – Portuguese course at Unipampa/UAB – Polo Esteio/2021, are prepared to fight or to induce linguistic prejudice. As for the methodology used to reach the objective, we resorted to bibliographical research, where we revisited authors who approach Sociolinguistics: Labov (2008); Calvet (2018); Bortoni-Ricardo (2004); Coan and Freitag (2010); Oliveira (2017) and Tarallo (1986); linguistic prejudice: Bagno (2009, 2015, 2020); Soares (2020); Camacho (2011) and Bortoni-Ricardo (2004); the cultured norm and standard norm: Faraco (2008); Freire (2020); Bagno (2001, 2015); Camacho (2011); Bortoni-Ricardo (2004) and Antunes (2014). In addition, we carried out a field research with the application of a questionnaire with 28 graduates of the Language course – Portuguese by Unipampa/UAB – Polo Esteio/2021. The survey results showed that the majority of subjects indicated that students' literacy was a priority and not grammatical aspects, except for two respondents. Through the results, we conclude that most of the trainees are prepared to fight linguistic prejudice when they work in Portuguese Basic Education classes, corroborating the raised hypothesis. However, we believe that there is a need for proposals on this topic within schools, with the intention that the engagement of those involved in Education can alleviate it, with the help of the media and Brazilian society as a whole.
