A contribuição de um analisador automático para a caracterização de gêneros textuais

Abstract

This work aims to characterize the textual genre Enem’s writings from prototypical linguistic elements (verbs, connectors, pronouns) that are often used in productions considered ideal (writing notations 1000), through the contribution of an automatic text analyzer, the Tropes. In order that, concepts and definitions of gender, type and text sequence, argumentation, argumentative text and technology were adopted based on theories and studies of Bakhtin (1997; 2016), Garcez (2017), Coroa (2017), Fiorin (2015), Wachowicz (2010), Bonini (2005), Antunes (2010), Barton and Lee (2015), Vargas (2009), Coulmas (2014), Araújo (2017) and Finatto (2017). Sixteen (16) texts were selected to be analyzed by Tropes. With this tool, it was possible to obtain two types of results: the first individual, presenting an evaluation for each writing, and the second collective, in which the application showed an overview of the texts evaluated together. From these results, some interesting data have emerged, such as the large occurrence of factives verbs, that express actions, both in the general analysis and in the individual analysis, which can represent in the text the chaining of events. Thus, the hypotheses that confirm the Enem’s writings are a genre with their own characteristics that are recurrent in several productions of this genre have been corroborated. Besides, the use of a digital technology tool, the Tropes, for the study and research s textual genres has proved very interesting and valuable, helping the researcher in this work, and can be applied in other researches or areas, such as Portuguese language teaching.
