A influência do internetês na escrita formal dos adolescentes do ensino médio: uma pesquisa realizada com alunos do 1º ano

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, communication over the internet became frequent and teenagers became active users of this network, even creating their own language, <internetês=. The present study aims to analyze whether Internetês, the language used in the virtual environment, influences the formal writing of high school students. To achieve these goals, Marcuschi (2002), Costa e Freitas (2006), Marconato (2012), Zerbato (2012) studies are used as theoretical support. We also present reflections on linguistic adequacy, using Salles (2017) and Bagno (2018). The research was carried out in a school of the State network, in the city of Itapecuru Mirim, with students from the 1st year of High School. The methodology used to analyze the results is qualitative/quantitative. A questionnaire was applied to the students, containing objective and discursive questions. The data showed that despite having access to the internet and having electronic equipment, most students do not know what internet is, although they use it in their social networks. As a result, the students' lack of awareness about the variations of the Portuguese can be a problem for linguistic adequacy, since they will not know when and where to use the grammatical norm and Internetês.
