Influence of Mozambican linguistic variety on texts produced by university students

Abstract

This article analyzes constructions taken from texts produced by higher education students at Zambezi University, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, in Mozambique. In this work it is intended to understand the influences of Bantu languages in texts written by students of Higher Education, for this we used the technique of textual production mirroring the critical genre. The choice of this textual typology is justified by the reflection he would make in the process of producing texts from his cognitive capacities, in the end there was a total of one hundred (100) texts and in each one a sentence was removed. After data analysis, it was found that the students (1) do not have the knowledge of the correct way to write words, (2) interfere with orality for writing and (3) translate directly from Bantu to Portuguese.
