O uso (e o não uso) de conectores textuais em charges que abordam a covid 19

Abstract

In order to verify how the use (or non-use) of textual connectors interferes with the how cartoonists deal with issues related to Covid 19, we selected and analyzed five 05 (five) cartoons produced and broadcast, in Brazil, during the pandemic period caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Relying on Koch (2009; 2003; 1997), Koch and Travaglia (1989) and Romualdo (2000), mainly, we observe that, independently of the presence or absence of textual connectors, it is possible to clearly perceive the purpose(s) from the producers of the cartoons. In addition, we verified that, of the 05 samples analyzed, 03 do not have connectors and 02, on the contrary, make use of these elements. In the latter case, the connectors used assume functions not always commented on by grammars Portuguese language regulations. This is the case of “e”, in charge 02 and “já”, in charge 05. taking into account both our research interests and the results obtained, we hope that this study can contribute to those interested in the many and varied aspects of textual/discursive universe, more broadly, and by textual connectors, more specific.
