Linguistics and anthropology: Language, phonemas and writing

The aim of this article is to discuss, through a bibliographic review, studies from several decades that lead us to understand the close and unquestionable interaction between language, speech, phonemes and the acquisition of formal reading and writing in the Brazilian educational universe. Inspired by theories and scholars like Bergson, Burke, Santos, Titiev, Tolra, Porter, Levinas, Kendon, we investigate the maintenance of educational models that disregard the assumptions of anthropology and linguistics as bases for formal education, molding educational subjects with their characteristics social and linguistic, currently obscured and employed through imposing policies and in school-related divisions and in communicative processes also centered on the school, situations that favor the reproduction of educational, linguistic and social inequalities(Hymes, 1996). A reflection that can be interpreted and studied a lot about the reasons why we are stuck in education.
