Multimodalidade e hipertexto: uma análise do site Hora do ENEM

Abstract

In current society, characterized by the coletive knowledge construction, intense information Exchange and high conectivity, gains attention the multimodal character of communication. With the spread of new communication ways, due to the development of multiple kinds of information technology, it becomes necessary to discuss how multimodality and hypertext interacts in the construction of senses. For that we have analyzed the website Hora do ENEM, in the light of the theoretical studies of Dionysus (2008, 2009), Dondis (2007), Kress; Van Leeuwen (2006), Rojo (2009), Soares (2004), Vieira (2007). The results obtained ratified the idea that only the domain of the linguistic system is not sufficient for the construction of meanings in the reading of the texts, considering that the presence of multimodal elements in these texts of wide social circulation is significant for the understanding. It was found that, since the use of verbal signs and visual resources, in addition to being relevant to the effects of meaning, are considered more attractive and more informative by the literate readers, there could be, on the Hora do ENEM website, a greater investment in dialogue between verbal and non-verbal resources.
