Linguística Textual e Sociocognição: interação e conhecimentos voltados para a construção dos sentidos

Abstract

This theoretical article proposes a discussion about the relation between sociocognitivism and textual linguistics, in order to demonstrate that these two investigative proposals converge in such a way that sociocognitivist principles (which underpin the phenomenon of cognition in interaction) are fundamental for the theoretical treatment of the strategies of construction of meaning through texts (mainly revealed through the construction of the reference). This results in an comprehension of the relation between language, perception and reality as guided by communicative dynamism. The ideas spread by Maturana (1998), Koch and Cunha-Lima (2005), Salomão (1999) and Blikstein (2003) clarify this dynamism. With this discussion, we intend to reaffirm the position that textual linguistics - a theoretical perspective that is essentially interdisciplinary - enriches its theoretical role by explaining the dialogues taken with epistemological proposals that deal with the reshaping of concepts such as knowledge, culture and reality.
