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.

O GÊNERO POEMA: UM ESTUDO NA PERSPECTIVA BAKHTINIANA

This paper, linked to the Research Project “Linguistic Analysis Contextualized to Practices of Reading and Production of Texts” (UEL), seeks to disseminate a proposal of approaching the speech genre poem, in terms of scientific domain, in the light of bakhtinian concepts, involving vision of ideological sign, aesthetic communication, and speech genres and its dimensions: theme content – object of sense, evaluatively built; compositional structure – elements of structure and meaning; and style – manifestation of linguistic and expressive resources relatively stable of a genre, among others, mobilized by the enunciator (linguistic and enunciation marks). It considers all characteristics are indissolubly related to the context of production. Such a context stabilizes the use of the genre and holds it collectively as long as necessary, ie, society and discourse are organized in genres that, ultimately, are the realization of the living and can be materialized. More specifically, the paper analyzes, in the aspects above mentioned, the poema “O menino que carregava água na peneira”, by Manoel de Barros, in which the author-creator of the poem brings a very particular universe which marks the literary work: childhood, in a kind of craft with the word-image. The poet feels the child’s universe pulsing in his bowels and represents it. In this sense, the study discusses, in pedagogical field, the spread of such a speech genre. It evaluates, as a result, the getting through of the poem in the school  sphere – mainly via textbook. Finally, it points to the possibility of a new attitude regarding the teaching-learning process of the genre.
