VOCALISMO EM MEMES BRASILEIROS: CONTRASTE ENTRE A DESCRIÇÃO NORMATIVA E O USO

Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present the tendency of Brazilian Portuguese towards vocalization, based on its its occurrence in memes in contrast to the grammatical rule of standard Portuguese. We also take advantage of the study to suggest proposals for teaching activities on this phenomenon. We draw on Castro's (2022) studies on these Brazilian linguistic trends and on Bechara (1997) on the normative approach to this subject. This is a documentary study, carried out as part of the course entitled Studies of Spoken Portuguese 2023.2. Of this study is made up of 5 memes, 4 of which were collected on Twitter and 1 on Facebook. The results indicated the addition of the vowel i, altering the original spelling of the words in the memes through the elimination of consonant clusters (tm, pn, bs, bj, ps), typically illustrating the speech of Brazilian Brazilians who oppose grammatical normativity. As far as the activities are concerned, we concluded that they all teaching the phenomenon through the meme genre, leading the student to reflect that there is a historical that there is a historical explanation for this use, so it must be observed in its particularities in order todeconstruct the mistaken notion of “error”.
