Uma análise semiótica acerca do tempo do discurso no conto popular: uma proposta de leitura para turmas do 9º ano do ensino fundamental.

Abstract

The time is common to all languages, to all cultures. We base our lives and our activities on time, seeking a balance between our actions and the hours that they take to realize themselves, and just as it manifests itself in our daily life is also manifested in speech. The presente work has as main objective analyze the time of the speech in the popular tale, in order to propose a didactic intervention in a class of 9th year of Primary Education II. Therefore, we discuss theories related to the time of speech, distinguishing the linguistic time from the chronological time, we selected the tale to be analyzed among those already collected in the state of Ceará, and we describe the linguistic time and chronological time present in the speech of the popular tale, with the intention of understanding the organization of human life. In order to base our analysis, we look for support in the semiotic theory proposed by Greimas, as well as in the reflections of Augustine (2015) and Benveniste (1989) about the problematic of time, this, without ignoring other scholars and researchers in the area. The methodology is that of Discourse Analysis, in a qualitative approach, considering that, the data were interpreted. The research universe is composed of 30 tales of contadores from the state of Ceará, mostly collected in Cariri Ceará. Among them, we select the tale A história D. Anin as corpus. From the analysis undertaken, we find that the linguistic time present in the story is divided into enunciation time, the time of the now and in time of the utterance, the time of the then, being manifested sometimes by approximations and now by estrangement from enunciation, due to direct and indirect speech. On the other hand, it was verified that the chronological time centralizes in the decision of Ana to go to war and in the events that are unleashed after the Ana exit of its house and later its return. The chronological time suggests passages of days and nights.
