Alguns aspectos da coesão e coerência textuais no romance terra sonâmbula de Mia Couto

Abstract

This paper is a study of the discursive mechanisms that the Mozambican writer Mia Couto uses to establish a specific Cohesion and Coherence in the novel Terra Sonâmbula. In order to carry out this study, we rely on various concepts related to the phenomena of cohesion and coherence, namely text, texture, theme/remain, new/given, thematic progression, among others. But above all, we work with semantic processes of sequencing textual occurrences, both from the point of view of the equivalence of semantic traits - co-reference, substitution, ellipsis, reiteration - and from the point of view of structural or grammatical sequencing - phrasal cohesion, interphrasal cohesion and temporal cohesion. This work is divided into five chapters: the first consists of a general introduction which, in addition to the objectives, presents the hypotheses on which the study is based; the second presents the theoretical assumptions and the third, the methodology used; the fourth presents the analysis of the data, and the fifth, the conclusions.
