Era uma vez -- a narrativa da criança em diferentes perspectivas teóricas: o verdadeiro "felizes para sempre"

Abstract

This research aims to verify how the interactionist, dialogic-discursive and enunciative acquisitional perspectives view the study of children's narrative as a theme in the area of ​​Language Acquisition. This objective is in line with the research problem of this dissertation, which reflects on: what do research in Language Acquisition, in the Brazilian context, say about children's narrative and its importance for the acquisition of the mother tongue? To answer this question, we used as theoretical references: from the interactionist perspective, the works of De Lemos (1986) and Perroni (1983); while the dialogic-discursive theoretical approach is represented by authors such as François (2009), Orvig (1999) and Del Ré (2014); finally, the acquisitional-enunciative perspective, which derives from the theoretical assumptions of Émile Benveniste, is addressed based on the works of Silva (2009) and Diedrich (2015). Regarding the methodological procedures, it is understood that this work has a basic nature, with a qualitative approach, in which bibliographic and descriptive procedures are used for its development. Thus, based on an in-depth bibliographic survey, we seek to present a compilation of these perspectives, in order to assist other works by scholars of Language Acquisition, with an emphasis on narratives. The results indicate that the three theoretical approaches observe the narrative from a point of view that privileges discourse, with the handling of data from children in naturalistic situations, marked by the interaction of the child with adults in their daily life. More specifically, we highlight that the interactionist approach sees narrative as a way for children to express their language, based on a process of changing positions. The dialogic-discursive perspective understands narrative as a genre of discourse, through which children, in a process of mutual interaction with others in the discourse, constitute their language. Finally, the acquisitional-enunciative approach understands narrative as a way of enunciating that constitutes the language of man in society.
