NATUREZA DAS CONSTRUÇÕES COMPLEXAS NA FALA DA CRIANÇA: UM IMPASSE ENTRE O SABER E O NÃO SABER DO INVESTIGADOR

Abstract

The inquiry on the complexity nature of the so called complex constructions in child's speech called for, in this paper, the issue of the investigator’s knowledge or lack of knowledge. From this perspective, the complexity or its absence – attributed to the child's verbal utterances is part of this subject’s knowledge, cutting out a space she/he occupies, in a discourse that makes sense. Then I assume that knowledge, or a stabilized sense (on the part of the investigator) on complex constructions is a condition for existence of its destabilization, that is, an absence of knowledge on these constructions being, therefore, a condition of hearing unpredictable child’s speeches, as we intended to illustrate through analyses of fragments of a child’s corpus. In turn, it is stated, above all, that this heterogeneity would have been seized, as the investigator would have heard the child's speech from the positions of someone who knows and knows not in which this speech has placed her/him, putting her/him against the impasse between these positions.
