A linguagem da criança representada nas tirinhas de Armandinho, de Alexandre Beck

Abstract

The article aims to investigate and understand the infant language present inthe textual genre cartoon,as a process of verbal interaction and representation of the own language of the child, specifically in the Armandinho’s stories from Alexandre Beck.As a methodological proposal has been chosen by the development of a bibliographical research,from a theoretical reflection and exploratory about the genre comics, before which we carried out a survey of author and character data.The theoretical discussions seek to approach two axes of thematic discussion:one about language development as a process of social interaction, as Vygotsky (1984, 1989),another about the design discursive language from Bakhtin (2003, 2006).The study indicates that the language of the child, in the comic strip humor, appears represented as a form of expression of feelings, of attitudes, of expressiveness, of social commitment on behalf of a common good, of criticism and varied awareness themes.
