Resumo: | This paper seeks to show how the interaction between the characters Peter and Jerry takes place in the play The Zoo Story, by Edward Albee, taking systemic-functional linguistics as a theoretical contribution. The exchanges of information and goods and services and the use of modality in the characters’ dialogues were analyzed and quantified, as well as the types of process associated with each one in the performance rubrics, in order to observe the construction of these characters and the dynamics of their interaction throughout the play. The accounting of the functions attributed to Finite showed that the characters gave priority to locating what they expressed in time and space; however, modality and modulation cases elucidated a strong contrast in the personality of both, reflecting their different socioeconomic conditions. Finally, the physical manifestations of the, through the quantification of the types of processes associated with them, served to show the attitudes of each one in relation to their counterpart, attitudes not always manifested verbally, hence the utility of observing the processes that guide the text rubrics. This paper seeks to elucidate some properties of the experiential and interpersonal metafunctions and to show how they can be applied to the analysis of the literary text, revealing not only formal aspects of the text but also the way the characters are constructed in relation to one another. |

Foram analisadas e quantificadas as trocas de informação e de bens e serviços e do recurso à modalidade nas falas das personagens, bem como dos tipos de processo associados a cada uma nas rubricas do texto, de modo a observar como se deu a construção dessas personagens e a dinâmica de sua interação ao longo da peça. A contabilização das funções atribuídas ao Finito mostrou que as personagens deram primazia a localizar aquilo que expressavam no tempo e no espaço; no entanto, os casos de modalidade e de modalização e modulação elucidaram um forte contraste na personalidade de ambas, reflexo de suas diferentes condições socioeconômicas. Finalmente, as manifestações das personagens no plano físico, através da quantificação dos tipos de processos associados a elas, serviram para mostrar as atitudes de cada uma com relação a sua contraparte, atitudes essas nem sempre manifestadas verbalmente, daí a utilidade de observar os processos que guiam as rubricas do texto. Este trabalho busca elucidar algumas propriedades das metafunções experiencial e interpessoal da LSF e mostrar como ela pode ser aplicada à análise do texto literário, revelando aspectos não somente formais do texto, mas também a maneira como as personagens são construídas em relação umas às outras.Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto2017-11-23info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.v0i17.2733https://doi.org/10.34630/polissema.v0i17.2733POLISSEMA – ISCAP Journal of Letters; No. 17 (2017); 51-72POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; Núm. 17 (2017); 51-72POLISSEMA; No 17 (2017); 51-72POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP; N.º 17 (2017); 51-722184-710X1645-1937reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/2733https://parc.ipp.pt/index.php/Polissema/article/view/2733/886Direitos de Autor (c) 2017 POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAPinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFrio, Fernanda2024-02-01T20:17:09Zoai:oai.parc.ipp.pt:article/2733Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:00:46.101848Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
