Orações subordinadas adverbiais: as relações de sentido a partir dos pressupostos saussurianos

Abstract

This research analyzes how the Saussurian notion of value can contribute to the teaching of subordinate adverbial clauses as a way of collaborating for the student's understanding of the use of conjunctions in compound periods. For that, it was observed the National Curriculum Parameters and the Common National Curriculum Base on how they guide the teaching of Portuguese language in their documents. It is also analyzed, as the adverbial subordinate clauses are presented in two normative grammars, Bechara and Cunha and Cintra, entitled: Modern Portuguese grammar (2009) and New contemporary Portuguese grammar (2001). Two textbooks were also studied so that it could be observed how they deal with such content, they are: Connects to language (2016) and Portuguese trails and plots (2016). Theoretical contribution is concentrated on the linguist Ferdinand de Saussure, especially on the concepts of language, language, speech, system, linguistic sign, associative and syntagmatic relations and, in particular, the notion of value. In addition to the linguist, other scholars of his theory were revisited, such as Michel Arrivé, Claudine Normand, Löic Depecker, Valdir do Nascimento Flores, Leci Borges, among others. Finally, the content of the textbook which deals with subordinate clauses, what the documents referring to language teaching propose, and how the grammar presents such content, are related to the Saussurian notion of value, which deals with meaning through relation of opposition between the terms in a statement, so that one can work, reflect and propose activities that contemplate the understanding of the statements through this perspective [resumo fornecido pelo autor].
