This field study, bibliographic, descriptive, qualitative and quantitative, has the general objective of verifying the occurrence of non-conventional segmentation in texts produced by students in the sixth year of Elementary School. In order to achieve this objective, the following specific objectives were outlined: identify the non-conventional segmentation processes present in texts written by sixth-year students; carry out a study on hyper and hyposegmentation; and categorize the relationships between lexical word and grammatical word that are most recurrent in the non-conventional segmentations found in students’ textual productions.

The activities were proposed on a regular school day, in accordance with the content previously planned for the class, with a view to not altering the students’ routine and not causing pedagogical harm. The present study adopts as its theoretical basis the studies carried out by linguists such as Cagliari (1998), Morais (2008), Bisol (2005), Câmara Júnior (2017), Collischonn (2005) and Brandão (2015).
