O discurso humorístico no gênero crônica e suas implicações no ensino de Língua Portuguesa

Abstract

This work aims to bring, as a teaching proposal, the humor in chronic, taking as corpus specifically those of Luis Fernando Verissimo. We intend to demonstrate that chronic humorous genre is important in education as approach to language and also serves for the understanding of linguistic phenomena, semantic and pragmatic as polysemy, ambiguity, irony, metaphor, metonymy. We start from the relevance of working the literary reading in school, supported by the PCN, in order to promote literacy in all its stages. We believe this work is made available with the text, and therefore this should be explored in class in all its varieties. Studies of discourse and interaction, on the use of textual genres in school, especially of chronic and reading processes and interpretation of them corroborate our research. In a second step, we address the philosophical theories of Bergson; psychoanalytic theories of Freud; discursive theories of Possenti and cognitive theories of Salomão, as an explanation of the construction and understanding of humor and their significance mechanisms.
