Análise descritiva dos aspectos linguísticos que prejudicam a intercompreensão dos alunos estrangeiros da UNILAB no gênero comentário

Abstract

Most students from the Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP) and East Timor have great difficulty in the mutual understanding process because, despite being the official language of their country, the Portuguese is not their mother tongue. Thus, the problem to be addressed is “What linguistic factors undermine the mutual understanding of African and East Timorese students under UNILAB?”, Given that they have great difficulty in communicating because of the Portuguese education model adopted in each country, which is usually only spoken in the classroom. Thus, this proposal aims to examine the linguistic aspects that undermine mutual understanding of foreign students UNILAB to enable the descriptive analysis under the panorama of morphosyntactic aspects, semantic-pragmatic and discourse of the Portuguese language, a sociolinguistic and discursive vision, aiming a discussion of language policy for the Portuguese. The theoretical approach is based on research Calvet (2007), Orlandi (2007), Cahen (2010) and Neves (2012), among others, that make us reflect on the status of the Portuguese language in the Portuguese-speaking community and the data were collected from the linguistic-discursive analysis of the reviews written twenty three Guinean students, made from the Interlusofonia research group corpus.
