SUMMARY:

Linguistic variation is a phenomenon inherent to languages, so there is no society whose language is homogeneous and stable. However, the more dynamic and multifaceted a society, the more heterogeneous, diverse, and changeable its language will be. Addressing linguistic variation in Portuguese language classes helps combat linguistic prejudice and value different forms of expression. In this context, our research object concerns the work with linguistic variation in Portuguese Language classes in Elementary School II. The overall objective of this work is to develop strategies that enable students to understand and recognize linguistic variation as an inherent aspect of language, thereby combating linguistic prejudice. Specifically, we propose to: understand students' level of knowledge of the concept of linguistic variation; promote the appreciation of students' everyday language, as well as their oral expression; encourage students to produce cartoons that highlight linguistic variety; and finally, discuss issues related to the appreciation of linguistic diversity as a way to combat linguistic prejudice.The setting for this research was a state school in the city of Fortaleza, where the participants were 9th-grade elementary school students. Regarding the methodology of our proposal, it is an action research based on the theoretical assumptions of Thiollent (2011), Bogdan, Biklen, (1994), and Moreira and Caleffe (2006), with a qualitative-interpretivist approach in data generation. An intervention proposal was developed through a didactic sequence according to Dolz, Noverraz, and Schneuwly (2004). Our theoretical framework is structured on the sociolinguistic studies of Bagno (1999; 2002; 2007; 2011; 2015), Bortoni-Ricardo (2004; 2005; 2023), Antunes (2007), Mollica (2003), Coelho (2007), Coelho et al. (2012) and Labov (2008) who discuss linguistic heterogeneity, variation and change, and linguistic prejudice. Regarding the study of text and genre, the research developed by Antunes (2009; 2010), Marcuschi (2008), Dolz and Schneuwly (2004), Koch (2003), Valle (2013), and Romualdo (2000), among others, served as a theoretical framework. The results demonstrate that the proposed didactic intervention was successful in achieving its objectives, as students demonstrated an understanding of linguistic variations as natural phenomena. This understanding was identified through classroom discussions, which contributed to improving students' understanding of the linguistic diversity of the Portuguese language. Thus, students recognized the need to build a more inclusive and respectful school environment, aware of the need to combat linguistic prejudice.
