Reformulação por sinonímia lexical no processo de escritura e reescritura de artigos de opinião

Abstract

The focus of this work is the study of text in its process of production. Thus, all the hesitations, oscillations and repairs are part of text. That way, the aim of this research is to identify and analyze the textual phenomenon of repair by lexical synonymy in the process of writing and rewriting of opinion articles. The data are methodologically handled in three phases: production, recording and analysis. The production of the data happened in the Workshop of Reading, Writing and Rewriting of Opinion Articles, in 2015. The recording, concomitant to the production, was held by means of the softwares AutoScreenRecorder and Inputlog (LEIJTEN; VAN WAES, 2013). The analysis consists in, first, a mapping of all repairs by lexical synonymy that happened in the process of production of two writers, undergraduates of a Letters Teacher Certification Program. In a second moment, some repairs are analyzed under the focus of the theory of speech genres by Bakhtin (2016), of relation between thought and language by Vigotski (2008; 2009), of Regulating Activity and genre mastery by Lima (2010; 2016), of the ethos issue by Amossy (2011) and Maingueneau (2011; 2014), among other theoretical concepts. The results show that repair by lexical synonymy indicates development of the writers because it manifests mechanisms that are improved when they depart from generic inability towards generic ability.
