Playing with words

Abstract

Free from the rigidity of gramatical rules, a criative writer plays with words. Doing it, it is necessary to be attentive to sound, visual and verbal figures which are present in the narrative. The literary production for children usually provides the manifestation of orality in the story, as well as a language game. Therefore, this work proposes a reflection on the relationship between literary creation and the children´s act of playing.

Keywords: literature for children, game, orality
