A TRANSMISSÃO LINGUÍSTICA IRREGULAR COMO ELEMENTO DA REMARCAÇÃO PARAMÉTRICA DO SUJEITO NULO

IRREGULAR LINGUISTIC TRANSMISSION AS AN ELEMENT OF PARAMETRIC RE-MARKING OF NULL SUBJECTS

Abstract

Changes in languages are the result of long processes of variation in which several factors participate, whether genetic or sociocultural. Thus, language change cannot be seen as the consequence of a biological factor alone, but of factors involving the language, the territory where the speakers are, and the population (COUTO, 2019). It, therefore, is at the same time social and mental, because these systems interrelate in the processes of change, it cannot be seen from a dichotomous point of view (CHOMSKY, 1981; PINTO; ANDRADE, 2019). Considering this, this paper seeks to discuss, from a literature review, how Irregular Linguistic Transmission (LUCCHESI; BAXTER, 2009) can be seen as a propulsive element that drove the process of parametric remarking of the Null Subject Parameter in Brazilian Portuguese, since it is configured as a non-prototypical situation of language acquisition. Therefore, the understanding of Irregular Linguistic Transmission processes points to the need to consider biological and sociocultural/sociointeractional factors in language acquisition - always from an ecological point of view, since TLI is a socio-historical parameter that enables a better understanding of the variation in certain linguistic features, especially those concerning an internalized grammar and/or a variety that is quite altered (thinking of an E-Language) when compared to that of native speakers in the territory in which the language is used (LUCCHESI; BAXTER, 2009/ MUFWENE, 2019).
