The teaching of grammar and the theoretical-methodological articulations of the practice of linguistic analysis

Abstract

This article discusses theoretical-practical aspects related to grammar teaching in Brazilian Basic Education. It starts with a discussion about the different types of grammar that must be considered when working with mother tongue and then to arrive at the principles of the practice of Linguistic Analysis (LA), understood as an activity of reflection about the different dimensions that make up language in use. The LA offers a teaching proposal in line with an interactionist view of language and, therefore, can contribute to the development of the linguistic abilities of the subjects. Bakhtin (2006, 1929), Antunes (2003, 2007, 2014), Bezerra and Reinaldo (2013), Wachowicz (2010) and Mendonça (2006) constitute the theoretical basis. The official teaching recommendations (BRAZIL, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2006) are considered.
