Processos referenciais em conversas de um grupo de Whatsapp

Abstract

In this work, we propose to analysethe referential processes constructed in conversations of a WhatsApp group, in the interest of approaching the various theories, emerged in Textual Linguistics, to the everyday interactive manifestations of daily life, spontaneously produced by their speakers. With this, thinking of an amplified conception about what we defend by text, we look for the investigations in the WhatsApp app environment, whose place, through its several tools, has been highly conducive to the elaboration of communicative multimodes inside the same one conversation. We recognize that the communicative sophistication is not limited to written text (FÁVERO et al, 2000), nor even to a single textual modality (DIONÍSIO, 2007). In this way, we aim to analyse, with attention, the performatization of the referential elaborations (KOCH, 2004; KOCH; ELIAS, 2006) in our locus of analysis with a view to the unstable categorical perspective of the referenced discourse objects (MONDADA; DUBOIS, 2003). Together with these discussions, we relate,when possible, these assumptions to the new conceptions of text (CAVALCANTE, 2013; CAVALCANTE, CUSTÓDIO FILHO, 2010), revealing, since the first contact, the representativeness of cognitive processing together with the sharing of ideas negotiated in a specific speech community. We also observe the deic constructions from the use of emojis that refer to the location of referents in relation to the discursive space of the participants involved in the interaction (CAVALCANTE, 2000; CIULLA; MARTINS, 2017; OLIVEIRA; SILVA, 2017).We worked with a corpusthat was constituted of prints from conversations of the WhatsApp Família Pereiragroup,of which we are members, confirming, thus, the expressive relation of the sociocognitive processes of language, in the essence of referential constructions, besides proving the need to expand the notions about text.
