Formas de heterogeneidade mostrada não convencionais na constituição da escrita de estudantes universitários

Abstract

Inserted into the branch of studies on Academic Literacies, the objective of this paper is to describe the creation of two categories of shown heterogeneity which emerge on written production of undergraduate students under an enunciative-discoursive perspective. The corpus is formed by 27 answers to an exam exercise, made by undergraduate students from the 2nd grade of a Language course in a public university of Paraná, Brazil. The theoretical-methodological basis assumes the conception of constitutive and shown heterogeneity from the enunciative perspective as well as the description criteria of the forms of shown heterogeneity proposed by the same author. The creation of two new categories constitutes a result of analysis of characteristics present in the corpus which seem to embrace students’ writing practices not yet described in enunciative/discoursive terms. These characteristics have led to the creation of the categories named “non-marked copy” and “paraphrasing attempt”. Even though both categories are considered writing problems by academic rules, they translate recurrent written enunciation practices among students and also represent forms of negotiation with the discourse of the other, which need to be described in enunciative/discourse terms, apart from a perspective of problem report.
