Organização Retórica do artigo de opinião autoral: Configuração Prototípica
Abstract
Results from a research that investigated the probabilistic distribution of rhetorical relations of 150 authorial opinion articles taken from Brazilian newspapers are discussed here, considering the occurrence of continuity means and the relations established among levels of information. Enrique Bernárdez’ proposal, which links the RST model (Rhetorical Structure Theory) to the idea that the textual organization can be understood as a series of continuity means, labeled with the RST relations, was used to carry out this study. It was verified that the distribution of means and relations follows probabilistic criteria; the opinion articles have a prototypical configuration, considering their macro-structural rhetorical organization, noticed through the higher probability of occurring certain means and relations rather than other ones, which have zero probability of occurring; the producer strategic choices can be seen as actions to ensure the communicative end of the opinion article in the prototypical context of the newspaper.
