Recursos metadiscursivos de interação e processos referenciais: uma análise em sequência narrativa

Abstract

The research about interactional metadiscursive resources is mostly dedicated to the study of academic discourse genres. Since this phenomenon is present in all kinds of texts, in this postgraduate research it is my intention to investigate the manifestations of interactional metadiscursive resources under the perspective of the macro-categories of stance and engagement in texts with a dominant narrative sequence. In order to do so, the theoretic background is based on Hyland’s (2005a) concept of metadiscourse, in which the interactional metadiscursive resource is a means for the enunciators to project their communicative intentions in their texts, positioning themselves in relation to their arguments as well as their co-enunciator; and also on Adam’s (2008) macrounits of compositional organization of a text in its prototypical model of narrative sequence. In addition to that, I discuss briefly anaphoric referential processes, referential introduction and deixis with the theoretic support of Cavalcante (2011). The referential processes are analyzed when they superpose interactional metadiscursive resources. The methodological approach adopted was qualitative-descriptive, and inductive with bibliographic investigation. Using a corpus of 16 texts with dominant narrative sequence, I found a recurring presence of interactional metadiscursive resources. Thus, I conclude that the interactional metadiscursive resources also occur throughout the macro-categories of engagement and stance in a peculiar way, admitting superposition of macro-categories. Moreover, demonstrat how some of which superpose referential processes of anaphora, specially.
