As produções textuais escritas sob uma perspectiva semiológico-enunciativas : dos procedimentos de sintagmatização às estratégias de construção de pontos de vista

Abstract

This research aims to analyze syntagmatization procedures from a semiological-enunciative perspective in written textual productions, focusing on argumentative-essay texts produced by candidates who took the Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) in 2022. Our perspective seeks to observe, within these written texts, the syntagmatization procedures adopted by writerspeakers to construct reference. To achieve this, we will discuss Benveniste’s semiologicalenunciative perspective (1991, 1989). In order to understand different aspects of textual production, we examine the study of text through an approach that highlights its potential for discussing various perspectives, enabling alternative explorations and discussions from the viewpoints of Text Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis, Linguistic Pragmatics, and the Enunciative Perspective, based on the studies of Koch (2023), Rodrigues; Silva; Silva Filho (2009), Van Dijk (2018), Orlandi (2015), Pinto (2004), Grice (1982), among others. From an enunciative perspective, we explore Benveniste’s enunciative reflections (1991, 1989) and Flores (2013) on language and its implications for textual analysis. The text, within an enunciative framework, is analyzed in terms of semiotic organization and semantic organization, as it is through the text that the writer-speaker demonstrates subjective engagement in written discourse, unveiling the semiological structure of the text and constructing meaning for reference-building. The corpus for analysis consists of texts written on the theme “Challenges for the Appreciation of Traditional Communities and Peoples in Brazil”. These productions are publicly available in an official guidebook published by the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP), titled “A Redação do ENEM 2023 — Cartilha do Participante”. The analyses conducted in this study follow a qualitative-interpretative approach, aiming to develop subjective interpretations that uncover patterns and meanings built throughout the texts. Through these analyses, we seek to discuss how each participant, by putting language into use, constructs syntactic singularity through the syntagmatization procedures offered by the language. The data analysis reveals that writer-speakers, when producing argumentative-essay texts, organize linguistic elements into a structured sequence following syntactic and grammatical rules, mobilizing semiotic and semantic mechanisms of the language-discourse to semanticize writing in the process of reference construction.
