COMPORTAMENTO DO PRONOME RELATIVO “QUE” EM TEXTOS DE ALUNOS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL

Abstract

The present research analyze, through a functionalist perspective, the anaphorical pronouns “that” in relative clauses. It will work a corpus composed by student’s writings studying in sixth grades of High School, having as objective, too, point the influence that the oral language has in their writings. The analyse of the datas allows to confirm the user of the language get to strategies of structuration of the relatives, going against the formal way: becomes generic “that” as na universal relative and get to a personal pronoun to have the anaphotical function, or let empty the structural part of the anaphora pronoun (no anaphora). In this way, confirm our hypothese that the pronominal anaphora works as a produtive resource of the language that becomes easier, in the pragmatic level, the process of information. It was possible to conclude, then, the use of the anaphorical in relative clauses need a revision in the teaching of portuguese language in High School.
