Hipérbole e discurso: contribuições para o ensino

Abstract

This work proposes a reflection upon the teaching of hyperbole in secondary schools in Brazil, adapted to the demands of the teaching of a mother tongue, accordingly to the role that language plays in verbal interaction. It begins by investigating linguistic disciplines that understand the text as the practice of a written discourse alternated between mutually influenced interlocutors and extends itself to a useful analysis of the hyperbole in the construction of the argument by the speaker. It benefits from the (almost) consolidated presence of journalistic texts in classrooms as a vehicle for information and adds the discursive study of hyperbole as a strategy of politics columnists and editorial writers in textual dialogue. It searches for the clues left by the writer, in formal marks, aiming to interact with the reader. It offers possible readings for the words used by the journalist, taking in consideration the different elements that compose the so-called "enunciation scene"; it presents the possibility of applying grammatical subjects to a discursive text structure and suggests comprehension and text production exercises
