El voseo de la zona del Río de La Plata: una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza del español como lengua extranjera (E/LE)

Abstract

In this investigation, we present a discussion about the linguistic phenomenon voseo, which is an aspect of the American Spanish commonly spoken in Rio da Prata’s region, considering studies published by different authors about its origins, uses and characteristics. Further than that, we made an analysis of voseo’s use, through texts, especially from the publicity genre, in order to verify theorical consequences regarding grammar functions of the pronoun vos’ use in this region. Also, we elaborated a didactic plan with the analyzed publicity with the goal of contributing to the teaching of this phenomenon in Spanish classes. To fulfill this task, we take as our theorical references the studies of Pontes y Coan (2013), Sanches y Silva (2014), Lapesa (1986), Castedo (2014), Nazarko (2009), Negroni y Gelbes (2004), Oliveira et al. (2011), among others. The results highlight the importance of working around the teaching of linguistic variation phenomenons, using activities of textual production that are close to the student’s reality, aiming to stimulate the student’s participation and to get them closer to the language usually spoken by the native speakers.
