Standard norm and teaching of Portuguese in Brazil
Abstract
The question of the standard norm for written Brazilian Portuguese is open. Or, to be a little more direct, it has not yet been resolved, as it is the case with its teaching, which lacks not only a renewed pedagogy, but, above all, an object delineated with relative precision that could be recognized, by consensus, as the standard norm of contemporary written Brazilian Portuguese.
To understand this situation, it is necessary to go through the complicated history of this standard and observe the main characteristics of the Brazilian linguistic reality in which the processes of standardization of writing must be found.
Excerpts from articles can be transcribed in the context of the norms of intellectual work, with the exact bilbiographic reference to the source text.
