A troca entre 'mim' e 'me' no português falado e escrito: causas e implicações no ensino de língua portuguesa

Abstract

This article discusses the interchange between the pronouns "mim" and "me" in spoken and written Portuguese, as in expressions like "para mim fazer", which are common but considered incorrect in the standard language norm. The research aimed to understand why this usage occurs, analyzing factors such as individuals’ speaking patterns, regional variations, and shortcomings in grammar instruction. The study used examples from everyday speech, students’ texts, and classroom observations of how Portuguese is taught in schools. The findings show that, rather than rigidly correcting these forms, it is important to teach in a supportive way that respects popular modes of expression. The goal is to teach the standard norm without devaluing students’ language, promoting a fairer and prejudice-free education. To support the study, authors with published works in the area were selected, including Lobov (2008), Lucchesi (2009), Bagno (2007), and Cintra & Cunha (2017). Additionally, other academic works were used to provide theoretical support for this research: Albuquerque e Silva (2024), Silva (2023), Albuquerque (2025), Kleiman (2008), and Neves (2003).
