Inserções: contribuições argumentativas em um discurso oral

Abstract

Inserts are characterized for promoting a better interaction and they facilitate the acceptance of what a speaker says to his listeners. Inserts reduce the flow of information, because they are inserted in the middle of a discursive topic, causing rupture not only in the topic, but also in the syntax of the statement, in some cases. Therefore, they are a oral linguistics mark. As it was pointed in this work, inserts act in an important way in the argument of the speech, contributing with the reach of the speaker's communicative objectives. We analyzed the inserts from the transcription of the lecture entitled O Negro na Universidade: o Direito à Inclusão, uttered by Edvaldo Mendes Zulu Araújo, at the Universidade Estadual de Maringá.
