THE LINGUISTIC VARIATION OF THE PEOPLE OF FAZENDA MAIADINHA: CHALLENGES OUTSIDE THE KALUNGA COMMUNITY VÃO DO MOLEQUE CAVALCANTE-GO
Linguistic variation, Kalunga Community, appreciation of discourse.
This research addresses linguistic variation at “Fazenda Maiadinha”, more specifically in the “Kalunga Vão do Moleque” Community, located in Cavalcante, Goiás. The objective is to investigate how the linguistic variation of these residents affects their integration into society when they leave the community, facing various challenges. The motivation for this study lies in the appreciation of linguistic diversity and the search for ways to overcome the difficulties faced by students from the Kalunga Quilombola Community of Vão do Moleque, as well as other communities of traditional peoples who face challenges related to linguistic variation. The methodological approach is qualitative, ethnographic and autoethnographic, using the analysis of personal experience to understand culture. The research is based on the works of Bortoni-Ricardo (2004) on education in mother tongue, Preti (1987) on sociolinguistics and levels of speech, Bortoni (2008) addressing types and methods of research, Street (2014) exploring Social Literacy , in addition to the book "Educação Quilombola" (2021), among others. This research is crucial for traditional communities, especially the Kalunga Vão do Moleque Community, as it will provide reflections and analyzes on linguistic variations and their impact on the lives of the majority, often made invisible by the minority that occupies the top of the social hierarchy.
