Interlacing: Ecolinguistics and the National Curricular Common Base for Portuguese language teaching

Abstract

Long lines of rationalist thought have dominated the sphere of knowledge supremely. Contrary to this, Ecolinguistics appears as a form of resistance, positioning itself against the exploitation of the other, individualism and unity as a constitutive and inherent agent in everything. This epistemological proposal dialogues with ecological values, based on the precepts of deep ecology, a biological field whose vision is interrelated, valuing diversity and defending life in its most different presentations, ecosystemic conception. Thus, this article set out to demonstrate how three ecolinguistic assumptions, interaction (interrelationship); diversity and defense of life, appear in the topic BNCC Specific Language Skills and Technologies for High School. The study followed a philosophical orientation based on ecolinguistic principles and on some studies associated with the Common Base. The results showed that the Base indirectly presentes the three ecological principles proposed in this article. This work was structured in approach, bibliografic methodological approach. The corpus consists of seven skills expected for teaching Portuguese, in high school, proposed at the BNCC. The theoretical foundations used were COUTO (2007, 2015 and 2016) and NAKAD (2016). It is believed that the study undertaken here proved to be opportune, since there is a shortage of works that associate teaching and ecolinguistics, which contributed to the dissemination of works in the area. The research also made it possible to reflect on the scope and dimension of ecolinguistic principles on a concrete level.
