Abstract

The present study is an investigation that aims to discuss the evidential strategies identified in their syntactic, semantic and pragmatic- discursive in printed courseware for higher education courses in the distance mode, with the aim of evaluating the indications of the sources of ensured content. The corpus was composed of eight books, chosen according to the Table of Knowledge Areas (CNPq), distributed as follows: four in the large Area of Humanities ( Education, Anthropology, Psychology and Philosophy) and four in the large Area of Linguistics, Letters and Arts ( Portuguese Language, Linguistics II, History of Visual Arts I, Theatre Lab I). Whereas the interest of this study is the communicative competence of speakers involved in the teaching-learning process, was used as the theoretical functionalism Language, specifically Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), developed by Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008). As a result of the analysis, we find, among others, the following: the evidential strategies in printed courseware for higher education students in distance mode have syntactic, semantic and pragmatic-discursive indicate as font type and how to type evidentially predominant, respectively, and a third person defined evidentially reportative, showing a gap of authors in relation to the contents, considering the use of so-called" argument from authority" in theoretical texts; evidentially that the inferred types and genericity occur but are not frequent, and the type of event perception was not found, since the contents in this type of writing are more conceptual, that is, assume a more abstract nature and that, on the access mode, there is a predominance of reports of 2nd hand, which is not surprising, since they were predominantly from evidentially reportative and source type third person set, the linguistic marks of accession of enunciating the source indicated in relation to a particular content reported in this material occur in insignificant, however, when used constitute the source of qualifying adjectives, verbs and others, such as adverbs and argumentative operators, the producer of textbooks analyzed prefers not to show any kind of rebuttal/out the source of the information, which is not frequent co-occurrence of linguistic strategies of epistemic modality evidential strategy used in the source of the ensured content and when used produce a low commitment, the verb is the medium most used language to express evidentiality, there was a predominance ante position by brand evidential the source and content, the source type annunciator is on, most often, the evidentiality inferred as the source type defined third person is linked most commonly to evidentiality reportative and sources of the type common domain and third person undefined bind, more commonly, the evidentiality generality, that the types and genericity evidential reportative promoting effect of low commitment, while the inferred type is linked most commonly to an average commitment; membership mark that serves to indicate a greater commitment producer in relation to textual content asserted, that when the source is the utterer, the effect is of a medium commitment, considering that the producer of printed courseware for DL uses the first person plural, as in so-called " plural of modesty, "that when the source is indefinite third person there is a balance between the medium and low commitment, that the use of the third person defined source indicates, in general, a low textual commitment of the producer, and that means are related, most commonly, low commitment.
