O uso de operadores argumentativos em produções textuais na escola básica

Abstract

This research focuses on observing how elementary school students use argumentative operators as text cohesion feature in a dissertative-argumentative writing, ENEM model. The productions were recorded during the school year 2014, by students of the 2nd year of high school in a public school. The study was conducted based on the Theory of Argumentation, Textual linguistics as well as the text of concepts and genre. The analyzed corpus is made 20 textual productions of 10 students from an elementary school. There are 10 essays produced earlier in the year and 10 at the end of the school year mentioned. Based on these productions, it was possible to make a comparison with respect to the use of argumentation operators and cohesive resource. It was found that these elements are used both in the first draft as produced in the second. However the emphasis on the use and diversity of these resources was higher in the 2nd half productions. These results were presented in a qualitative and quantitative way, through charts, for better visualization of the results. The reflections about reading and production of texts, discursive, textual and linguistic problems developed during the school year, with the group of students who produced the corpus texts, are factors contributing to this result.
