THE TEXTUAL PRODUCTION IN THE BRAZILIAN UNIVERSITY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MEANING. ACADEMIC CONTRADICTIONS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Our academic experience comes confirming a issue very much talked about, but not to much studied: the fact that an important quantity of Brazilian students arrives at the University without having a good command in deal with the writing, concerning the use and the movements that make with some logical and rhetorical resources. Classics of the argumentation, especially Aristotle, maintain that the speech fits into two paradigms: one primary and other one secondary. However, the academic speech should be placed into the second paradigm. This shows that the construction of scientific text isn’t a simple process. As a solution to the problem, we propose a more rhetorical Pedagogy, if we can say like that, which, to works the writing, prioritizes the training.
