A criação dos nomes dos personagens em histórias inventadas: a atividade metalinguística relacionada às rasuras orais em uma situação de escrita colaborativa

Abstract

This work goals to analyze the creation of the characters names in story invented by a dyad of 2nd year elementary school students in Portugal, considering the metalinguistic activity and oral erasures in a collaborative writing situation. Based on the field of Textual Genetics, through a linguisticenunciative approach, we will seek to identify which metalinguistic activities are present in the dyad's choices in the construction of characters names, relating them to oral erasures, whether they are commented on in a simple or unfolded way, as well as which categories these names fall into. In this study, we understand that many student’s reflections on the choice of names come from intertextual relations, since we found that the construction of these names starts, generally, from the children's cultural environment, especially from TV, biblical stories, from Greek tragedies and stories read in the classroom and at home, as well as the kinship references experienced by the students. We also identified how ideas arise in these constructions in the collaborative text, in addition to observing how students seek to follow the teacher's guidelines to the letter. Furthermore, we conclude that the collaborative model enables more efficient interactions among students, with regard to metalinguistic development.
