A construção de referentes no gênero reportagem: trabalhando o processo de recategorização

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the recategorization process as a strategy to build senses of gender report. During the research, we address the prospects point to a discussion about the prospect of referral, focusing, in particular, the process of recategorization, based on sociocognitivista vision text. The theoretical approach to Text Linguistics is presented by Koch's studies (2004, 2009, 2012) and Marcuschi (1983, 1988, 2001), while the theoretical framework of referencing and recategorization is grounded in studies of Mondada and Dubois (2003), Cavalcante (2010, 2012) and Lima (2009); dealing on gender report, we present the ideas Pena (2008) and Lage (2006), among others. In this context, we make a description of the recategorization process and their role in the construction of meanings of gender report, as well as characterize the genre reportage focusing on theming and construction related. Finally, we present a proposal for work to guide referential building reports in class taking as a basic strategy the recategorization process, from the results of an analysis of the treatment of this matter in a textbook Portuguese 7th year Elementary School.
