The contributions of Text Linguistics in the Base Nacional Comum Curricular for the teaching of the Portuguese Language

This paper aims to present some statements by Text Linguistics (LT) that contributed to the proposal of the Brazilian curricular standards known as Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). In this text, we argue for the socio-interactive perspective, which brings language as a social activity and the notion of text as a unit in which meaning is built from interaction. We rely on some studies by Koch (2000, 2002, 2006), Marcuschi (1983, 2008), Bakhtin (2003 [1952-1953], 1997), among others, with the purpose to identify the contributions that LT has brought to Basic Education, specifically, to the Portuguese Language teaching. The methodology of this paper is characterized as descriptive-interpretative with an analytical perspective. From the analysis of the document, it is asserted that the text is seen as a unit of communication, as a point of convergence between the dimensions of language. It is in the text that grammatical relations are constructed and reconstructed and it is also in it that the discourses are construed. It was seen, therefore, that BNCC is concerned with the dynamic character of language practices, with new social demands and with the contexts of text uses in a multisemiotic perspective, which is supported by new medias and web environments.
