Stories produced in the rural and urban school context: stages and language choices

ABSTRACT

This study aims at discussing the construction of stories produced by schoolchildren from rural and urban contexts from the perspective of Systemic-Functional Linguistics, inspired by studies by Halliday and Matthiessen (2004)HALLIDAY, M.A.K & MATTHIESSEN, C. M. I.M. 2004. An Introduction to Functional Grammar. London: Edward Arnold Publishers., Christie (2005)CHRISTIE, F. 2005. Language education in the primary years.

Learning to write, Reading to learn: genre, knowledge and pedagogy in the Sydney School. Londres: Equinox.. More specifically, it aims to analyze the narrative and the narrative in order to understand the organization of these genres in stages and their relation with the linguistic choices. The analysis focuses is in the stages articulated to formal and functional criteria. The formal criteria say something about linguistic resources used in the genre and the functional ones reveal how users appropriate linguistic resources and achieve the overall purpose of the text, highlighting the organization of the Report and Narrative genres in stages. From this perspective, the genre of a text is identified as the sequence of distinct functional steps or steps through which the text develops. The results show that the genre stages of the story family vary according to the purpose and context of the learner ‘s culture and influence lexical and grammatical linguistic choices.

Key-words:
Family genres story; Organization in stages; Language choices
