Sociolinguistics: contributions to mother tongue teaching - Beyond linguistic prejudice

This book presents a study subsidised by sociolinguistic theories that deal with the possibilities of changes in Portuguese language teaching. The methodology used was a bibliographical review based on primary sources. The aim is to understand how sociolinguistics can contribute to less prejudiced and exclusionary mother tongue teaching. When a particular language variety is chosen to become the official language in a country with several spoken languages, the others become the object of prejudice and exclusion. Sociolinguistics aims to broaden students' knowledge of the different ways in which language is used, providing reflection and rejecting linguistic prejudice.
