Argumentación en textos de una revista de educación de profesores Un ejercicio de análisis basado en conceptos Bakhtinianos de género y lenguaje social

Resumen

In this paper we analyse argumentation patterns present in a set of texts that were published in an electronic Brazilian science teacher education journal (www.cienciaemtela.nutes.ufrj.br). As the texts submitted to the journal differ regarding to format and characteristics of authorship, our corpus involves research reports, essays and recounts of didactic experiences written by scientists, science education researchers, school teachers, popular science professionals and informal setting educators. Based upon a Bakhtinian theoretical framework that emphasises the historical and social character of discursive production, our analyses selected genre and social language as main analytical categories. Argumentation was characterized as in terms of relationships between utterance and features of the social activities and discursive practices they relate to.
