SUMMARY:

In this research, biblical texts found in the synoptic gospels of Matthew and Luke are analyzed, considering common events narrated by the two authors. This study is interested in inquiring into the syntactic-semantic choices made by each narrator and seeks interpret the different discursive constructions showed by the evangelists in their concrete texts. Although considered synoptic gospels (which means “same vision” gospels), each book is believed to be composed of authorial marks showing different meanings in a specific “co(n)text”, and this can be seen in the way the authors of the Gospel chooses to present a certain character. In order to accomplish that, this research is based on the textual linguistic postulates by Koch (2015, 2016, 2018) and Marcuschi (2008, 2012); with a special focus on Adam’s studies of Textual Discourse Analysis (2008, 2018, 2019) and on Rabatel’s theory (2016) on points of view. Therefore, textual analysis made in this dissertation seeks to identify different points of view presented in the gospel narratives in order to discover whether they can be used as signs for an interpretation of a psychosocial and cultural reality of the authors/enunciators. The concept of discursive representations, conceived by Adam (2008) and discussed by Rodrigues (2014), Rodrigues et al. (2010, 2012) and Passeggi (2001), was also added to this research to allow a (re)construction of significant discursive representations of the semantic universe of the evangelists. Preliminary analyses reveal that, despite depicting the same events, evangelists elicit, through active characters, different points of view in their texts, which corroborate for the construction of several discursive images that can show a lot of the gospel narrative universe. Luke’s narrative, for example, when compared to that of Matthew, seems to provide quiet a greater visibility to women’s point of view. Matthew’s narrative, on the other hand, seems to show opponents of Jesus’ mission as weak enemies before the Messiah’s strength. The textual and discursive analysis of the synoptic gospels, as seen according to the theoretical grounds in this dissertation, works with a broad and complex object, and it is totally useful for an approach that treats the Bible mostly as a text, but respects the symbolic importance of the Sacred Scripture.
