O PROCESSO DE PRODUÇÃO TEXTUAL NA INTERFACE ENTRE A ESCRITA CONVENCIONAL E A DIGITAL NO CONTEXTO DE SALA DE AULA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how text production carried out through conventional and digital interfaces contributes to the improvement of standard language use in academic contexts. The research is grounded in Functional Linguistics, particularly in Givón (1979; 2011), who conceives grammar as a structure emerging from language use, and in Halliday’s (1978) Systemic Functional Linguistics, which understands language as a social practice organized through ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions. In the field of writing studies, the research also draws on Geraldi (1996), Koch (1989), and Marcuschi (2008; 2010), who conceptualize writing as a situated socio-interactional practice guided by principles of cohesion, coherence, and thematic progression. Through action research, two groups of first-semester Language and Literature students were compared: one engaged in handwritten production and the other in digital writing. The results indicate improvement in both groups, with higher performance in the digital group, especially regarding topic development, government, and punctuation. It is concluded that conditions of textual production influence the improvement of standard language use, with digital interfaces potentially favoring revision and structural reorganization processes.
