Abstract

CAZAROTTI, Mirian  and  CAMARGO, Evani A. Amaral. Narrative analysis of a subject with down syndrome in dialogical situation. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2004, vol.10, n.02, pp.175-182. ISSN 1413-6538.

The text reports the narrative analysis of a subject (6 years old) with Down syndrome. It’s based on enunciative-discursive theories and Bakhtin and Geraldi’s discussions about language and its functioning. This study aims to analyze the child’s narrative with singularities in the linguistic development in a dialogical situation. The data refer to group activities video recorded in a special institution. The text proposes the qualitative and observational analysis of the narrative episodes. The results indicate that in the beginning of narrative process, the child depends on somebody more expert in language as mediator in the signification process of words and gestures.

Keywords : Language; Narrative; Down Syndrome.
