As categorias preditivas de enumeração e etiquetação antecipada no discurso escrito de estudantes de linguística da Universidade Eduardo Mondlane

Abstract

Communication is a process through which information, knowledge, feelings and experiences are transmitted from person to person, thus making human interaction as seamless as possible. The act of communicating, according to the traditional understanding, presupposes the existence of a sender and a receiver who, through a channel, transmit messages. The act can be verbal or written, as long as there is interaction. This paper focuses on the process of interaction in written discourse. The elaboration of written discourse presupposes the use of linguistic signs by the writer that predict the occurrence of certain discursive acts. The relationship between these signs, which Tadros (1981) calls prediction, is important for the interaction between the writer and the reader. Angela Tadros carried out a study on Prediction in texts, focusing on economics texts. Based on the linguist's model of analysis, in this paper we intend to study the occurrence of some of these linguistic signs in the written discourse of some fourth-year students on the linguistics course at Eduardo Mondlane University, in order to observe their importance for understanding written discourse. The work has 7 chapters which deal with the following issues: The first chapter constitutes the INTRODUCTION where we provide preliminary information about the problem under consideration, the aim of the study and its delimitation and the research plan.
