THE SUBJECT FILLING IN THE BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE

AN EXPERIENCE IN A SCHOOL OF RORAINÓPOLIS

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the manifestation of the subject expressed in the writing of students of the 9th grade elementary school, of the State School Father Eugênio Possamai, a public school in the municipality of Rorainópolis, Roraima. The study examines the variation of subject filling, a syntactic phenomenon (parameter of the null subject) pointed out by Chomsky (1981) and examines whether the ascension of the full subject in PB, as pointed out by Duarte (1993) can be confirmed in the school context. On a micro ethnographic basis, the methodology used was the field research, at which time oral activities were collected in the classroom and then the transcription, classification, quantification was done, followed by a quantitative analysis process and qualitative analysis of the sentences under analysis. The work is based on the studies of Chomsky (1981), Duarte (1993, 1995), Figueiredo (1996), Villarinho (2006) among other researchers. As a result, we can point out that, although the results pointed out that they do not favor the use of the full subject in PB, the hypothesis of Duarte (1995) should not be eliminated. On the other hand, it is necessary to work in the classroom with questions that lead to ambiguities by the improper use of the expressed subject.
