INTERTEXTUALITY, MULTIMODALITY AND CONTEX-TO: A PRO-POSAL FOR READING COMPREHENSION FROM THE PERSPEC-TIVE OF TEXTUAL LINGUISTICS

Abstract

The present article is inscribed in the area of Textual Linguistics and brings the concepts of intertext, context and multimodality. In this sense, the following question remains: in what way do these concepts contribute to a reading proposal from the perspective of textual linguistics? In view of this, we elected as our main goal to conduct a study about these concepts and promote the application of a reading proposal based on a cover of the newspaper “O Estado de Minas” published in a digital support. To reach the objectives, we opted for an expanded reading in which textual resources are mobilized for the analysis, by means of a bibliographic review. The interpretation of the collected material, will follow the concepts of text, intertext and context of Beaugrande (1997), Cavalcante, Oliveira (2019), Elias, Cavalcante, (2017) Koch, Elias, (2016); Koch (2005) and multimodality of Kress and van Leeuwen (2006 [1996]). Assuming that reading is a powerful strategy when it dialogues with the needs and urgencies of the knowledge construction process, by approaching the text in a way that considers the aforementioned concepts, we hope to reflect the reading process beyond the textual to the construction of knowledge
