Abstract

This research has as its theme a morphosyntactic approach in the conduction of adversative connectors in texts written by students of the 12^th grade, of the Economic and Legal Sciences Course, at São José de Cluny in Malanje, Angola. The main objective is: (i) to describe the morphological and syntactic approach in conducting adversative connectors in texts written by students; (ii) Analyze the theoretical foundations that support the relations of meaning of the morphosyntactic approach in the regency of adversative connectors in texts written by 12^th grade students; (iii) Propose teaching and learning strategies for the regency of adversative connectors in the classes to be taught to the students in question and, then, observe if the use of these connectors are appropriate for the moment in which they are being used in the sentence, that is, if correspond to the students' communicative intentions. Therefore, to collect and perform an interpretative analysis of the data, we used comparative, observational, statistical methods, and techniques such as direct observation, pedagogical test, questionnaires applied to students and interviews applied to teachers. The results of this research point to the following conclusions: the adversative connectors present different syntactic positions. The mas does not have the same mobility as other connectors, that is, the mas is used only at the beginning of the adversative clause, while the however, however, nevertheless, however and however are positioned both at the beginning of the adversative and after the subject. or after the predicate. It was also found that there is a failure with regard to the production of argumentative texts, as it seems to us that teachers have not promoted the scope that connectors have in oral/written discourses, the lack of predominance of implicit and explicit teaching of grammar makes so that teachers do not awaken the great impact of the production of argumentative texts.
