ABSTRACT
The thesis “Analysis of textual-discursive representations in „Captain Dreyfus process‟, first chapter of Rui Barbosa‟s „Letters from England‟” has as its aim to analyse and describe the linguistical phenomenon of the textual-discursive representations (TDR) and its argumentation. This goal is ramified in three specific objectives: 1) to identify the textual- discursive representations from Dreyfus and from the degradation in the TDR-enunciation, 2) to analyse and describe the lexicon and its argumentation in order to 3) interpret the textual- discursive representation through the semantic categories of analysis (predication, referencing, modularization, modification and localization). The research finds its perspective within the greater area of Text Linguistic, specifically considering the “co(n)textual meaning production” based on the Textual Analysis of Discourse introduced by the studies of Adam (2011). It recurs simultaneously to the Natural Logic by Grize (1990, 1993), being those its main theorical perspectives. The Text Linguistic is an area of studies that makes the text its research object. The Textual Analysis of Discourse is a theorical proposition in which the co(n)textual meaning must be supported on the analysis of concrete texts. There are four questions to be answered after the analyses: first – the lexicon chosen by Rui Barbosa in the TDRs construction has argumentative value in the meaning in which it has been textualized? Second – is there immanence of meaning between the lexicon and the argumentation? Third – what is the argumentative role of analogies in the construction of the TDRs? And fourth – “schematization” by Grize and “Discursive Representation” by Adam are equivalent semantic categories and what distinctions can be found between those two concepts? Considering the objectives of this research and such questions, a hypothesis was formulated in the following terms: in every text, there was profuse argumentation in the chosen vocabulary. Therefore, the Textual-Discursive Representations, as constructed by operations such as lexical-analysis, predication, referencing, modularization, modification and localization, carry a strong argumentative trace that is immanent in the textualized meanings. The methodology of the research was based on a qualitative and quantitative approach, descriptive in relation to the objectives and the bibliographical procedures. The methodology was made effective with the identification of the TDR-enunciations, collected from the corpus and disposed in a specific chart. The text was stablished, its lines were counted and a text plan was attributed following the textual themes; then, an analysis frame was created, in which the enunciator, the theme under scrutiny and the categories were identified. The analyses proceeded in a descriptive manner and the predications, besides being described, were schematized in conformity with the centrality of the verb for its arguments. On the theme “Dreyfus”, 34 TDR-enunciations were analysed. The theme “degradation ceremony” went through the same process, resulting in 16 TDRs. The results were organized in regard to the objectives of this study: the TDRs were identified, organized and analysed; their meanings were described in its argumentative content; the lexicon used was interpreted based on its meaning and on its argumentation value. The research questions were responded: the lexicon is argumentative, because there is immanence between its meaning and its argumentation and it is verified that the analogies are relevant in the argumentative orientation. The referencing ramifies, as does the predication, following the suggestion of Oliveira, A (2014). The modification was specified.
