SUMMARY:

The Portuguese Language Olympics Writing the Future competition has been implemented together with other activities of the Writing the Future Program, in the efforts to improve Brazilian Basic Education that focus on teaching discourse and textual genres in the mother tongue. In the 2016 edition, more than 90% of the municipalities joined the competition, promoting the process of teaching and learning. Given the importance of this competition in the educational context, this work, pertaining to the field of linguistic studies of text, as a general objective we aim to investigate the enunciative devices concerning the text plan, the enunciative commitment and the argumentative orientation evidenced by the argumentative conjunctions in opinion articles by the Portuguese Language Olympic finalists. Our specific objectives are as follows: (1) to describe the text plan of the opinion articles of the 2016 Portuguese Language Olympics Writing the Future competition; (2) to identify and describe linguistic features that indicate the candidates’ points of view; (3) to analyze the enunciative commitment in the finalists’ written production; (4) to verify how the use of other voices occur in the texts, categorizing them according to the socio-discursive formations to which they belong; (5) to examine how the argumentative orientation of the enunciations in the opinion articles occur by analyzing the argumentative conjunctions, classifying them in line with Adam (2011). The investigation is based on the theory of Textual Discourse Analysis – the theoretical framework fomented by Adam (2011, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022) –, in which Textual Linguistics is seen as a subdomain of discursive practices. Along with this presupposition, the work is also based on authors who deal with aspects of enunciation, such as Rabatel (2016, 2017, 2018, 2021), Rodrigues, et al (2010), Rodrigues (2016, 2021), Passeggi, et al (2010), Guenthéva (1994, 2011, 2014), among others. The methodology we adopt is both qualitative and quantitative. Our methodology is, above all, inductive, with the aim of proceeding to the generalizations. The research is based on the data collected, and thusly, the identification, description, analysis, and interpretation of the phenomena. The results show that the text plan used by the participants was a fixed one, having the typical structure of the genre, with title, author, introduction, development, and conclusion; moreover, the primary speakers/enunciators (S1/E1) tended to assume enunciative commitment, acting as articulators regarding themes of the local context, but also mobilizing other voices, mainly of the residents, depending on the objective pursued in the enunciation, since the theme of the competition was “The place where I live”. In addition, with regard to the argumentative orientation evidenced by the argumentative conjunctions, those most employed were: “but”, “then”, “thus”, and “despite”, introducing arguments and counter-arguments that helped in developing their points of view and in the management of voices in these opinion articles. Ultimately, the results of this study contribute to unveiling structural, enunciative, and argumentative aspects of this textual discursive genre, and point to the mechanisms employed by the participants in the development of model texts within the composition of this competition – a very relevant component of Brazilian Basic Education.
