Uma análise da redução do uso dos pronomes relativos no português contemporâneo

Abstract

The research investigates the trend toward the simplification of the use of relative pronouns in contemporary Portuguese, seeking to understand how these changes influence textual cohesion and communication. It is justified by the importance of these linguistic elements in the construction of clear and well-structured texts, as well as by their relevance to Portuguese language teaching and teacher education. The study aims to analyze the presence or absence of relative pronouns in different interaction contexts and in teaching materials, identifying their effects on meaning construction and their relationship with the guidelines established by the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC). To achieve this, a bibliographic, qualitative, descriptive, and explanatory research approach will be employed, based on the analysis of grammar books, official documents, and textbooks, in order to understand the contemporary uses of these structures and their pedagogical implications.
