LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA COMO L2 PARA SURDOS: ANÁLISE DOS ELEMENTOS LINGUÍSTICOS E TEXTUAIS EMPREGADOS POR UM ESTUDANTE SURDO BILÍNGUE

Abstract

In a multiliteracy society, the acquisition of Portuguese Language (LP) writing skill for deaf people is central, in addition, this acquisition is an extension of the socio-communicative universe. Thus, we sought to analyze texts of a bilingual deaf high school, aiming to identify the linguistic, textual and discursive organization employed. For this, we describe the influence of Libras on LP productions and the adopted linguistic marks that helped or hindered the constitution of productions and, finally, we reflect on how these aspects relate in the establishment of cohesion and textual coherence. In the textual productions, the analyzes looked for the identification of the lin-guistic movements, from textual elements, such as cohesion and coherence. The results showed that the student made small productions, mostly descriptive, and that there were, in some sections, cohesion ruptures, which did not affect the texts coherence. It was verified influence of Libras in the Portuguese Language structure, which was considered as a result of an interlanguage.
