A construção de macroproposições: a influência do conhecimento prévio na aplicação de macrorregras semânticas

Ilza Maria Tavares Gualberto

Abstract


The aim of this text was to investigate how subjects with differentprevious knowledge (low, medium and high) constructmacropropositions in the reading of an informative text about athe history of “The Great Navigations”. In order to make themacroproposition construction clear, semantic macrorules by vanDIJK were used (1977). Through this work we tried to analyse theinfluence of previous knowledge on the semantic transformation –macrorules – made by the reader during the processs ofmacrostructure construction.
