A leitura da tira de quadrinhos: para uma gramática contrastiva do não verbal com o verbal

Abstract

The objective presented herein was to provide elements to support the didactic practice in a way that they would contribute to the process of reading comic strips. The idea that it is possible to create a contrastive grammar of the non verbal departing from the grammar of the verbal is promoted here, considering that the reading of the image should be broadly linked to man s daily living. Perspectives of the Text Linguistics, of the Peircean Semiotics and of the Traditional Grammar were interwoven in order to achieve a theoretical support judged to be effective in the sustaining of the hypothesis that the multifaceted reading of comic strips brings promising perspectives to the formation of proficient readers. The Conversational Analysis, the Organicity of the discursive topic, the Diagrammatic Iconicity and phonetic, morphological and syntactic focusing comprised by the semantic aspect are part of this context of analysis. In the amalgam of the tradition with the modernity, some instances of analysis and interpretation of the image in the linguistic-text context were suggested. The corpus is constituted of comic strips, published in O Globo, a daily newspaper, concerning the period of five years, from 2005 to 2009
