As funções cognitivo-discursivas das anáforas encapsuladoras

Abstract

This dissertation has as a goal the analysis of discoursive functions from anaphoric encapsulation. This work restricts on the analysis of these anaphoras achieved by composed nuclei from nominal group sometimes called rotulation. We adopted the theoretical perspective that the researched phenomenon is situated in the referencing discoursive activity, conceived as a (re)construction of the reality, came from, the interaction between the speakers, in an intersubjective way. We propose a classification of the possible functions took on by anaphoric encapsulation in different discoursive contexts. For such end, we approached, initially, the classifying proposal by Cavalcante (2003) about referential expressions, in which are inserted the anaphoric encapsulation. From this classification, we adopted the perspective by Francis (1986; 1994) about rotulation, denominated in this work as anaphoric encapsulation; we still discuss the works of Carvalho (2005) and Koch (2006) that are based on the studies of the author. It bears emphasis that based on the suggestion of Koch (2004) about the cognitive-discoursive functions from the lexical referential expressions, which were the parameter for our proposal of functions of anaphoric encapsulation and organization of criteria that involved these functions. Our corpus has 70 varied-genre texts: from these, 50 texts belong to the database of Study Group Protexto/UFC; the others were selected, considering just the occurrence of the cohesive resources studied. With the analysis of these samples, we checked functional traits of anaphoric encapsulation may be multifunctional, according to discoursive proposals of their interlocutors.
