As diferentes grafias dos ditongos variáveis em textos de escrita inicial
Resumo
Neste artigo, apresentamos uma discussão na qual determinados erros relativos à grafia dos ditongos variáveis ‘ai’, ‘ei’ e ‘ou’ são interpretados como relacionados a aspectos do conhecimento linguístico da criança acerca desses grupos vocálicos. Os dados que serviram de base para nossa análise foram extraídos de aproximadamente 950 textos produzidos por crianças brasileiras pertencentes a uma primeira e a uma segunda série do ensino fundamental de duas escolas da cidade de Pelotas-RS. O exame das grafias, que contêm a sequência vocálica em foco, revela a complexidade da aquisição dos ditongos variáveis e mostra que, entre formas corretas e apagamentos, se pode entrever, por meio da análise das grafias escolhidas, a construção de hipóteses da criança que, muitas vezes, toma como base aquilo que já aprendeu sobre a estrutura fonológica da língua.

The different writing of the variable diphthongs in the initial written texts
AbstractThis paper presents a discussion in which certain mistakes regarding the writing of the variable diphthongs ‘ai’, ‘ei’ and ‘ou’ are interpreted as being related to aspects of the children’s linguistic knowledge about these vowel groups. Data for this analysis were collected in approximately 950 texts written by Brazilian first and second graders in two schools in Pelotas, RS. The analysis of the spelling which contains the vowel sequence under investigation reveals the complexity of the acquisition of variable diphthongs. Besides, taking into consideration the correct forms and semivowel deletion or insertion, the analysis of the spelling chosen by the children enables the researcher to see the hypotheses they have constructed since they are usually based on what the children have already learned about the phonological structure of the language.
Keywords: writing acquisition; spelling of variable diphthongs; orthography; phonology.
