SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to investigate to watt extent the approach of pronouns in grammatical activities, from 4th and 5th grade textbooks – Early Years, contributes to students' metalinguistic reflections when using them. For this, answers to the central questions are sought, how are the personal pronouns of the straight case and the demonstrative pronouns addressed in the proposals of grammatical activities, in textbooks of the 4th and 5th year – of Elementary School I? Does such an approach effectively contribute for students to carry out metalinguistic reflections? The investigation in relation to personal and demonstrative pronouns is justified, as they are two functional categories and that corroborate in an effective way for the study, structuring/organization and relationships of meanings present in a text; in view of this, they need to be used by students in the early years, so that they can, from an early age, learn to build clear and fluid texts, analyzing the importance of these linguistic elements. Specific objectives were also outlined, among which: i) to find out in which language practices, objects of knowledge and skills of the BNCC, for the initial years, pronouns are contemplated and what students are expected to learn in relation to this word class; ii) to contrast whether the skills required from students, in the 4th and 5th year textbooks, in relation to the learning of pronouns, are in line or not with the skills proposed by the BNCC; iii) analyze whether when pronouns are included in grammatical activities, they appear in isolated or decontextualized sentences; iv) analyze whether the anaphoric functions of pronouns are made explicit in grammatical activities, aiming at the discursive relations established in the text. This is a documental research, according to Flick (2009), of a qualitative nature, according to Chizotti (2010), resulting in a descriptive-analytical research. For theoretical foundation, it focused on researchers who investigate the Portuguese language, pronouns and discursive genres, based on normative and functionalist perspectives, textual linguistics and metalinguistic studies: Almeida (2009); Lima (2011); Abreu (2018); Neves (2011); Antunes (2007; 2014); Bortoni-Ricardo et. al (2019); Castilho (2000; 2012); Possenti (1996); Koch & Elias (2011); Marcuschi (2008; 2010); Myhhil (2000; 2005), among others. The partial results indicate that the personal pronouns of the straight case and the demonstrative pronouns are used, above all, as elements of identification and substitution of nominal and verbal phrases. Furthermore, phrases and excerpts are proposed in which the pronouns appear disconnected from their discursive contexts. However, when it is intended that students use personal and demonstrative pronouns, as anaphoric elements, the questions elaborated do not allow students to reflect on the uses of these pronouns, for the construction of sense and meanings.
