Programa de avaliação de descodificação fonética em Português Língua Segunda

Abstract

The verbal behaviour is achieved because, in one hand, there is a system of principles and conditions, which are considered as universals behind all the human languages, supported by the biological need, but, in other hand, those elements are part of the dynamic relation of events which constitutes the individual’s context. Those events are not only the brain structures (the mentalist perspective), but also the elements that generate the stimuli context to be discriminated - environment (the functional perspective). After theoretical revision of concepts and about phonetic decoding processes, will be presented results from the tests battery application on phonetic decoding (minimum pairs, segmentation, phonemic blending, sintactical identification, dichotic hearing). The discussion focused specifically on the achievement of second language learners regarding the segmentation (spelling task) and minimum pairs judgment tests.
