Diferenças na concordância verbal na narrativa de crianças de níveis socioculturais distintos.

The main objectives of this paper is to verify if there are differences between verbal agreement and non-agreement during the use of verbal system in written narrative by children who live in different sociocultural environments. In order to accomplish our objective, the students were divided in two groups of 52 children, one of them belonging to a public school and the other to a private one. Each group wrote narratives and this research analyzed 1190 sentences extracted from that narratives (595 of each group). From the results obtained with quantitative and qualitative analysis, we verified that there are meaningful differences related to sociocultural aspects but there was not a great variation in verbal agreement on the writing production of the two groups.
