As teorias argumentativas subjacentes em propostas de produção de textos em livros didáticos de língua portuguesa do ensino médio

Abstract

The use of argumentative texts has grown today, both in vestibular, contests and, most notably, in the writing of Enem, which requires a dissertative-argumentative text. Given the importance of this type of text to the formation of critical citizens and able to express views on controversial issues, it is, more and more attention on the formulation of the argument. As a result, this research focuses on the study of argument in textbooks, for what is worth the prospect of Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005), and the Argumentative Sequence, of Adam (1992, 2008), in order to investigate argumentative theories which underlie text production proposals found in the argumentative genres in textbooks for high school analyzed. Select for the argumentative genres in three collections of Portuguese Language directed to high school and 37 texts production proposals selected based on Enem proposals and school essay, we support us in Dolz, Noverraz and Schneully (2004). Thus, by analyzing the proposals, we find that most of the text productions are explored following the criteria of Argumentative Sequence, as Adam defends, however, the argumentative strategies, as proposed by the New Rhetoric, passes off. It follows that, on this issue, the theoretical allied advance the practice is still "shy", so teachers should be alert to complement with the necessary information for the construction of argumentative or dissertative-argumentative text, whatever school essay and the proposal on Enem.
