This work, theoretical and descriptive nature, aimed to evaluate the Brazilian Portuguese (BP) buildings that in argumentative texts written by Chinese students, native Mandarin speakers, according to the Theory of Grammar. Therefore, it presented a theoretical chapter focusing on Universal Grammar and the Principles and Parameters model, especially the verbal inflection parameter, axioms of Theory undertaken in this research. It presented phrases and their constituents, with X-bar Theory to represent the relationship established between them and the structure of sentences, the largest unit of parsing (HAEGMAN, 1998; RAPOSO, 1992); besides bring a section on the structure of PB sentences that, evaluation object of this study. Secondly, evaluated the production of the group of students, maternal Mandarin speakers, analyzing the structures produced over a year, when they were in Portuguese Program for Foreigners PUCRS. The analysis showed that the majority of subjects represented the structure expected by PB, performing proper verbal inflection. Some, however, had difficulties to perform the verbal inflection, perhaps under the influence of L1, an insulating language. We found also that, over time, the apprentices were restructuring the grammar of L2 and using the appropriate verbal inflection, going to meeting to the thesis held by Flynn (1996) that the human being has an innate faculty of language and that, regardless of age, everyone has access to Universal Grammar.
