Estudos sobre o texto

Abstract

We begin our study, in unit 1, from the historical panorama of textual linguistics (TL), that is, from one of the areas of Linguistics that presents the text in its various semiotic manifestations as its object of investigation. Later, we will study the differences between the sociosemiotic and sociocognitivist panoramas of research and understanding of the text. You will see how the same object (the text) can be understood from different perspectives. In unit 2, in turn, we will present several explanations about the conceptions of text and their direct and indirect implications for writing and reading practices at school. To this end, we will resume studies on the constitutive relationship between text, textual genres and discourse from two theoretical perspectives: sociosemiotic and dialogical. You will learn different aspects of this field of Applied Linguistics.
