A repetição como elemento condutor do tópico discursivo

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to observe how, after the digression, the use of repetition is a conductor element of the discourse topic. The digression is a kind of topic movement that suspends momentarily the previous discourse topic, bringing a peculiar cadence to the text development . For the study of repetition, to follow the Marcuschi’s theoretical proposal (1992) typology is divided in two levels: formal and functional.
