O uso de expressões referenciais em textos de estudantes pré-universitários

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the referential expressions that provide the breakdown of textual continuity contribute to the establishment of coherence / cohesion dissertative-argumentative texts of pre-college students. The theoretical basis that will support our analysis will be developed by Custódio Filho (2006) on the (in) adequacy references in texts of apprentices students, as well as the vision of Cavalcante (2011) and Garantizado Júnior (2011) on the consistency phenomenon / cohesion. Methodologically, our research is documentary, since we use texts produced by preuniversity students in simulated race situation for the National Secondary Education Examination (Enem). The results indicate that the reference processes, as advocated Garantizado Júnior (2011), are fundamental to the creation of textual coherence and also theoretically some inadequacies committed by students can be explained in the light of the reference studies.
