TEACHING MINORITY LANGUAGES: A LITERATURE REVIEW ON TALIAN
Abstract
This work presents a literature review of studies involving Talian, a Brazilian minority language spoken by Italian immigrants. Although Brazil has received several immigrants since the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, languages other than Portuguese are seldom given any recognition in schools, being categorized as minority languages. Thus, further investigation on Talian has proved necessary in order to point out research in the area and relate them to current educational language policies. The literature review reveals that there are several studies that have investigated Talian, mainly under the perspective of sociolinguistics. It is observed that the teaching actions of this minority language are the result of individual actions and not municipal policies.
