Estratégias de leitura em língua espanhola : a construção de sentido a partir da teoria da argumentação na língua

Abstract

This paper aims to explain that it is possible to lead the student reader to reconstruct the meaning of the written speech through linguistic entities offered by the language, in order to make their reading proficient. Thus, the reading strategies allow "to teach reading," not by decoding words but by recovering the meaning of what is read. The Theory of Argumentation within Language (AWL), by Oswald Ducrot and fellow researches, is a theory in which the meaning is argumentative, built in and through language. In its current phase, Theory of Semantic Blocks (TSB), the semantic relationships are considered, being explaining from argumentative chaining, which are two interdependent segments joined by a connector. As a result, this theory meets this proposal, which is to explain to the reader how language is organized in the production of meaning in speech. For the analyses, proficiency tests of Spanish have been resolved through the usage of reading strategies that are explained from the TSB. With the results, we intend to show that the AWL can contribute to the teaching of reading.
