A descrição linguística e sua abordagem no ensino da língua espanhola

The aim of this paper is to present reflections on linguistic description approach in Spanish language teaching, regarding generative (CHOMKY, 1981; 1986) and sociolinguistic (LABOV, 2008; WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 2009) theoretical perspectives. For this, we will present the initial results of the research that we are developing about the 3rd person accusative pronominal object in the Spanish variety of Madrid and Brazilian Portuguese and reflections on Spanish language teaching. The idea is that the advances in linguistic description and its approach in teaching considering those theoretical perspectives can conduct the student to reflect on Spanish operation and to understand the linguistic and social contexts that were involved in linguistic variation.
