A construção de sentido em textos dissertativo-argumentativos: uma análise construcional baseada em frames

Abstract

The main purpose of this dissertation is to investigate on activation of the underlying frames of meaning construction in the dissertative-argumentative texts. During the research work were selected, from the UOL’s Writing Bank, dissertative-argumentative texts for the corpus composition of this search. This study has the theoretical contribution of embodied Cognitive Linguistics as base. So the theoretical basis for the development of the search was the premise of embodied language, defended by George Lakoff (1987, 1990, 1999), Filmore (1982, 1985), Feldman (2006), Duque (2015) and Lakook & Johnson (1980). Therefore, the start of this investigation is the assumption that the meaning construction process is linked to the activation of cognitive mechanisms in the human brain, modeled by the body experiences in constant interaction with the midst and stored as memory. Knowing it, this dissertation look for, following the meaning construction process, analyze the frames involvement, neural mechanisms that are triggered by language cues while the speech comprehension, important to organize and order the social-cultural world. Consequently, it is also intended to identify of these cognitive mechanisms. Based on this, it was observed, during the description and analysis of the frames, the existence of a direction for the construction of a basic conception around a single frame, that can be activated in any part of the discourse.
