Critical discourse analysis: didactic approach proposal with undergraduate students ; Análise crítica do discurso: proposta didática de abordagem com estudantes do ensino superior

The critical analysis of mediated discourses allows us to understand the texts beyond the texts themselves, through the analysis of discursive strategies and the construction of meanings of social actors. Understanding the social contexts in the (social) functioning of discourses is justified in teaching Pragmatics with undergraduate students.

At the same time, this proposal made it possible to contribute to the development of analytical-critical and reflective-interpretive capacities, which are important for the future professional action of these participants. ; A análise crítica dos discursos mediatizados permite compreender os textos para além dos próprios textos, através da análise das estratégias discursivas e da construção de significados dos atores sociais.

Tal é o caso dos alunos que frequentam cursos de Comunicação Social, na medida em que a transformação dos discursos para serem difundidos ...
