Contribuições dos aspectos não-verbais e verbais ao discurso de sala de aula

Abstract

Considering that the concept of verbal and non-verbal signs, this paper analyses the contributions given by the Kinesics (mainly in relation to the gestures) and by the proxemics (space between the speakers) to the studies on discourse interaction in the classroom. We understand that the absence of verbal and non-verbal signs may complicate the comprehension of the meanings transmitted to the listeners, impeding easy access to the linguist signals in their discoursive memory. The data come from a corpus consisted of classes filmed in the 6st grade of the elementary school in both a public and a private school, in Maceió, State of Alagoas.
