ADDING INFORMATION IN ARGUMENTATIVE TEXTS: A LEARNER CORPUS-BASED STUDY OF ADDITIVE LINKING ADVERBIALS
Palavras-chave:
conectivos aditivos, corpora de aprendizes, escrita acadêmica, linguística de corpusResumo
Este artigo discute o uso de conectivos aditivos em redações argumentativas em inglês escritas por alunos universitários. Através de dois corpora de aprendizes e um corpus controle, as ocorrências de conectivos em textos de alunos brasileiros é comparada com as ocorrências em textos de alunos americanos e britânicos com o objetivo de identificar padrões de sobreuso e subuso desses elementos de coesão. Uma análise quantitativa revela um sobreuso do conectivo besides e um subuso do conectivo also pelos alunos brasileiros em relação aos alunos nativos. Um olhar mais qualitativo mostra o desconhecimento da especificidade de registro de conectivos aditivos por parte dos alunos e a preferência por itens mais coloquiais.
