Gramatica(s): verdades e mitos

Abstract

Searching understand the relations between Grammar and Linguistics is not unlike opposite movements, but like different studies about the same object - the language -, this paper aims to understand the concept of grammar at the following aspects: (a) historical, (b) relational with the Linguistics, (c) methodological of the textbooks and (d) of the teachers' discourses. Aspects (a), (b) and (c) were supported by a bibliographical survey, with readings and notes from de Possenti (1996), Bechara (1989), Castilho (200), Neves (1997 e 2006), Durigan (2003), Fregonezi (1999) and Brito (2001). Aspect (d) had a short incursion in the Discourse Analyzes of French line's, specially in the contributions of Pecheux (1990, 1991,1997,1998). The first chapter discusses about what is may have been "truths" of the grammar: its historical building and its relation with the Linguistics. The second chapter shows textbooks and discusses their relation with the text and with the grammar, being a discourse space to the third chapter, which is concerned about the conception of grammar that may have been thought by the teachers. As result, it was realized that the truth of grammar is the all-time dialogue of its various manifestations, since the Antiquity until the present time, and the myth is in the crossed discourse, not-free of the teacher, that, even showing the linguistics thoughts and proposes at the interdiscourse, still walks by the alley of the normative.
