Marcadores prosódicos da escrita literária: uma análise da obra Manuelzão e Miguilim, de Guimarães Rosa

to each other. These approaches reveal the speaker's attitudes, their feelings expressed in statements and in the contexts in which those expressions are used. Cagliari (1989) calls this kind of discursive reference as prosodic markers in literary writing. In this project, the corpus for the analysis comes from the work of Guimarães Rosa: Manuelzão e Miguilim. The main goal of the present project is to develop studies on the subject, since there is virtually nothing done about the prosodic writing markers. Develop working methods is an important objective, in order to show how the prosodic markers can be studied. This type of study is not only important to linguistics: phonetics, textual analysis and discourse, but also to literary studies. Different ages of literary expressions used differently such resources as shown by the work of Cagliari (1989). The methodology of this project starts collecting data to compose the corpus with examples categorized as prosodic markers. Then, according to prosodic theories, these expressions are classified in types. The contexts in which they appear are important elements and they will be highlighted. The narrative of the plot is also an important context. Dialogues are good source of prosodic markers. In the work of Guimarães Rosa: Manuelzão e Miguilim, it was observed that the author likes to reveal the feelings of the characters in the novel through stated words in their speech. There are prosodic markers showing feeling like: intimidating, serene, gentle, cheerful, worried, angry, with irony, etc. The authors also refer to the fact that the character pronounced his speech with different voice qualities such as loud, hoarse, whispering, etc. This project studies the association between some prosodic elements of speech and their occurrence in literary texts as prosodic writing markers, as defined in the project. The data come from the phonetic descriptions of words and expressions regarded as prosodic...

EXTRAÇÃO DE INFORMAÇÃO COMO UM IMPORTANTE RECURSO PARA A INTERPRETAÇÃO DE TEXTOS

Ao tentar interpretar um texto, todo leitor vai certamente se deparar com muitos desafios. Há, sem dúvida, várias maneiras de ele tentar transpor as barreiras impostas nesse tipo de tarefa. Uma delas é, p.ex., perceber que certas palavras parecem ser mais importantes semanticamente do que outras, apesar de todas serem, no conjunto, imprescindíveis. Desenvolver uma análise lingüística tomando como base a identificação dessas palavras, aqui referidas como palavras-chaves, à luz de princípios semântico-lexicais, é o principal objetivo da pesquisa que vimos desenvolvendo já há algum tempo. Padrões Lexicais, tais como colocação, coligação e prosódia semântica, são itens com os quais trabalhamos. Partindo de um corpus no domínio da gastroenterologia e da palavra ‘causa’, muito freqüente em textos dessa natureza, tentaremos mostrar (i) a influência que essa palavra exerce sobre as outras com as quais se relaciona; (ii) a influência que ela própria sofre dessas outras palavras e, sobretudo, (iii) como toda essa articulação acaba afetando sobremaneira a interpretação de textos então considerados.
