A TEACHING PROPOSAL OF PRODUCTION OF DISSERTATIVE-ARGUMENTATIVE TEXTS BASED ON THE THEORY OF SEMANTIC BLOCKS
Abstract
This paper aims to explain a teaching proposal of production of dissertative-argumentative texts, based on concepts and principles of the Theory of Argumentation within Language (ADL) of Ducrot (1990, 2009), and above all in tools made available by the Theory of Semantic Blocks (TBS), Carel (1995, 2005), and Carel and Ducrot (2005). In order to do so, first, the text production proposal of Enem 2012 is analyzed, so as to find the basic semantic units of its motivational texts, which, by being associated to argumentative aspects of semantic blocks that originate those semantic units, may guide effective argumentative routes to be realized in dissertative argumentative text from semantic relations within the same block. It is verified, also, to what extent argumentative transgressive chaining are presented in argumentative essays as more convincing than the normative argumentative ones. As a result, this work may provide theoretical and methodological support for teachers that have been working directly with the teaching of reading and writing, in basic or superior education levels.
