THE REPETITION AS A FORMULATION STRATEGY OF ORAL DISCOURSE AND THE TOPICAL ORGANIZATION

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the repetition as construction strategy and textual-interactive formulation, in order to see how this trick is directly related to the topic of discourse, through its concentration and organicity properties. In this way, the use of a word or syntactic structure is classified as a repetition if it operates for the construction of a topical concentration, establishing a relation of reference with the matrix. The main interest of this research is to analyze to what extent the strategy of repetition establishes the maintenance function and the topical conduction, as well as other strategies of textual-interactive constructions, such as parentheses, paraphrases and corrections. We also intend to observe how a topic, being an analytic unit, can particularize the functions of repetition.
