Anáforas encapsuladoras - traços peculiares aos rótulos

Abstract

We discuss the well-known characteristics of anaphoric encapsulation, particularly those expressed by nominal phrases, defined and demonstrative, which Francis (1994) designated as labels. Although she stresses different kinds of remission phenomena, as well as axiological values, Francis particularized lexical-semantic properties of the nucleus of labels, undervaluing a research about the roles they can play. Specific properties of metadiscoursive labels are already in Jubran (2006), an analysis related to discoursive topic. But it is in Koch (2004, among others), Carvalho (2005), Vasconcelos de Sá (2007) and Ciulla (2008) that some label functions are discriminated. In this study, we demonstrated that certain features are indeed peculiar to all of the labels and then we commented on some others that serve more specific purposes.
