Acesso em: 27 fev. 2023.e-1981-9943http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/21999In this paper we intend to show a discussion on syntactic functions nominal complement and nominal adjunct, trying to do an opposition between Normative Grammar and Generative Grammar Theory, as soon as possible to contribute to a reflection about Portuguese language classes for Elementary Education. From the generativist framework, we adopt the hypothesis based on I-language, formulated by Chomsky(1986, 1994)into the Principle and Parameters Theory, which we take to distinguish the acquisition conceptionfrom learning one. Concerning the normative grammars, we do a brief tool to investigate possible conceptual differences between nominal adjunct and complement one. Concerning the research methodology, we adopt the hypothetical-deductive method. The results of our study show that distinction between these two functions can auxiliar students of Elementary Education, through the morphosyntactic, semantic, pragmatic and discourse-textual point of view, that helped us to elaborate a didactic approach for the teaching of these functions in Portuguese Language classes into the Elementary Education.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Adjunto de nomeComplemento de nomeGramática gerativaEducação básicaNominal adjunctNominal complementGenerative grammarElementary educationArtigohttp://dx.doi.org/10.7867/1981-9943.2021v15n1p074-094
