ASPECTOS DA TEXTUALIDADE APLICADOS À REDAÇÃO DO ENEM: análise dos recursos coesivos empregados à argumentação

Abstract

This article aims to analyze aspects of textuality, with an emphasis on the cohesive resources used in some essays that received a score of one thousand in the 2023 Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem). Based on theoretical assumptions by Costa Val (2014), Koch (1999, 2016), Antunes (2005, 2017) and Marcuschi (2008), the study aims to discuss the importance of cohesion in the argumentative construction of texts, focusing on competencies III and IV of the Enem evaluation matrix. Based on four essay samples that make up the corpus of this work, the argumentative operators and the inter- and intra-paragraph cohesive elements are observed, seeking to identify the effective use of these operators in the writing process of the examinees. The analysis highlights the need for a more in-depth evaluation of these elements of textuality in the Enem essays, considering the superficiality of the evaluative comments present in the Participant's Handbook. Furthermore, there are strong indications that these comments may be an obstacle to a clear understanding of the correction criteria. This article aims to emphasize that mastery of linguistic and argumentative mechanisms is essential for an effective and well-evaluated essay in the Enem.
