A abordagem dos operadores argumentativos nos livros didáticos de português

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the approach of argumentative operators in Portuguese textbooks. The analysis is based on the observation to determine if the treatment of these operators is only morphosyntactic, or merely descriptive classificatory, or if it privileges the contemporary tendency to work the language in a discursive textual perspective. The importance of this study of operators is due to the semantic relationship that these operators established between the parts of the text, making explicit its argumentative orientation, which contributes to the maintenance of textual logicality. The analysis of these operators in textbooks is relevant because often the textbook assumes a guiding role in teaching practice, which means that its approach can induce the way in which operators will be worked in the classroom. This approach takes into account the functional paradigm of language, focusing on the social-cognitive interactional phase proposed by Koch (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) and the Bakhtinian phase proposed by Heine (2008, 2010, 2011, 2012) , the which advocate a pragmatic discursive approach , so that the linguistic analysis should be addressed from that perspective, and not merely in morphosyntactic perspective. The results obtained from the analysis of the corpora proves the hypothesis that the argumentation operators approach would formal language , for the analysis of issues showed that most of the exercises are still located in transfrástica phase Text Language in which the concern was to describe the syntactic- semantic phenomena occurring between sequences of sentences.
