The proposed pre-formatted plan(s) for a genre applied to a case of intertextuality

Abstract

The studies of Jean-Michel Adam have contributed to many analytical distinctions in the field of textual Linguistics in the last decades. Concepts such as sequences and text plans, among others, are frequently taken up by studies mainly related to questions involving discursive genres. In these limits, this article aims at describing the main points presented by the author for the concepts of sequence, text plan, and genre, intersecting a presentation of the author’s reprint (2017) of Les textes, types et prototypes with a post-doctoral investigation that deals with a possible definition of a pre-format plan for a genre. For exemplification and analysis, we use an analytical scheme created on the basis of the concepts of the author and the definition of the genre of discourse by Bakhtin. The created proposal allows for an analysis at different levels, delineating more central aspects to the establishment of a pre-formatted plan for certain genres with fixed text plan marks and/ or indication of intertextuality.Keywords: pre-formatted plans, genres, intertext, fables.
