A produção da paráfrase sob o viés da semântica argumentativa: a argumentação interna (AI)

Abstract

This study aims to demonstrate how the concept of internal argumentation (IA), featured on the actual version of the Argumentative Semantics, specifically the Semantic Blocks Theory by Carel and Ducrot, can help academic students paraphrase their sentences and contribute to elaborate scientifical discourse published on Higher Education. I start this research approaching the importance of the paraphrasis for the scientific discourse in academia and the complexity of paraphrasing, as two abilities are required to produce the paraphrasis: reading comprehension and written production. From this point, I present some definitions of this concept, as well as some problems that these definitions present. Following that, I dissertate about Argumentative Semantics. I start by revising its philosophical-linguistic assumptions to better comprehend the Theory aiming, in the next section, to discourse about the Semantic Blocks Theory, focusing on the concept of internal argumentation. I conclude by applying the IA to scientific discourses to demonstrate your contribution to the development of paraphrasis.
