Análise dos efeitos de sentido da (im)pessoalidade em artigo de opinião de alunos do 9º ano

Abstract

Written textual production requires constant practical mobilization, with the use of didactic strategies and procedures that favor the appropriation of this important social practice. Thus, our research object refers to the textual strategies used by the students and their relationship with persuasion through the genre of opinion article text. Thus, the general objective was to investigate the relationship between the uses that 9th grade students of a public school in the municipality of Tianguá-CE, make of (im)personality in the writing of opinion articles and the discursive pattern typical of this genre. As for the specific objectives, the first was to analyze the level of language present in the students' opinion articles through the relationship between (im)personality and persuasion; the second was to verify the arguments of the students with a higher level of authorship implication in conducting a higher level of persuasion; the third was to investigate the resource of (im)personality in the students' texts that show an approximation to a discursive pattern typical of the argumentation of opinion articles. Regarding the methodology, our research is an action research, guided by Thiollent (2011) with a qualitative approach based on interpretivism, in a class of 35 (thirty-five) students, whose application generated a corpus with 11 (eleven) written productions for the analyses. This is because we used our own classroom as a laboratory, where the teacher/researcher and the students were the participants in the pedagogical intervention. From this perspective, we rely on Bakhtin (1992) for a better definition of "text", "genre" and "discursive type" and on Bronckart (1999), for the proposal of socio-discursive interactionism as a theoretical-methodological line. Also noteworthy are Koch (2011) and Koch and Elias (2017), with contributions on argumentative operators. We sought support in Adam (2011), for the proposal of argumentative sequence. We also dialogue with Marcuschi (2000), Machado (2000) and Brandão (2000), for considering the study of the text genre as a way to learn the Portuguese language; Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005), with studies on argumentative rhetoric and Antunes (2009), on the relationship of meaning established by the elements of textual cohesion. The results of the analyses in the students' written productions indicated, at the end of this action research, that the use of (im)personality in opinion articles began to meet the communicative purposes in a more appropriate way. Therefore, with textual strategies applied in a more articulated way, they evidenced an evolution, albeit limited, in the effective use of these linguistic elements, manifested in the textual fabric of the productions analyzed in the corpus of this work, contributing to a more consistent and, therefore, more efficient text in the presentation of argumentation.
