O editorial na situação de redação de vestibular

Abstract

The central proposal of this dissertation is to analyze how the Editorial genre discursive worked in the enunciative situation of the university entrance exam. Since it is a discursive process that involves a complex activity, a range of theories were convoked (textuals, enunciative, discursive, interactionism), for to discuss and to prove in evidence elements that could substantiate the analysis of the insertion and adaptation of the Editorial genre on the university exam context. From the presupposed that the university exam writing constitutes a textual-discursive genre thereafter, it was investigated how this genre was developed in a different place from its acting sphere. The comprehension of the dialogic-discursive movements for the generic adaptation used by the subject candidates was investigated from the writing constituted corpus produced in university exam UFES 2006. The analysis indicated that the majority of the candidates, in the adaptation process, the candidates used the opinative genres organization, which led them to structure their texts in the argumentative–dissertative way.
