Jogos de linguagem e formas de vida um estudo com colonos alemães do vale do rio dos sinos

Abstract

The work aims to analyze the family resemblances between the language games of the educational way of life and the agricultural way of life of three settlers residing in a region of German colonization in "Vale do Rio dos Sinos". The theoretical contributions used as bases for this research have been set in the work "Philosophical Investigations of Second Wittgenstein" (2004). The empirical material consisted of semi-structured interviews conducted individually in Hunsrückisch language. The analysis of the narratives shows that differently of the language games used in schools, marked by rigor and knowledge hierarchy, the non-school way of life of the subjects does not require such precision. The formal education instructed by the school differs from non-school way of life of the subjects, because this considers the implications in the climate, in the land and various factors pertaining to their contexts. Therefore, the language games of school way of life of this study have weak family resemblances with the language games presented in the agricultural way of life of the subjects.
