This paper deals with the analysis of constructs of cause, detailing the use of the conjunction pois. The corpus consists of 436 students, from regular courses, from the 6th year of elementary school to the graduation in Pedagogy and Literature, from different educational establishments in São Paulo city. The scope of the research is to verify, among the 8 groups, whether there is solidification of the abstract concept of causality and diversity in the use of conjunctions in the introduction of ideas of causality, as schooling increases. Thus, to the students a test was presented with five questions where it is required, in theory, different cognitive abilities. The conjunction “pois” appeared among the three most used constructions and as a synonym for “porque”, so much that there is great frequency in its topicalized use.Downloads
