Resumo: | This work aims to describe the way in which the argument of identity appears in Enem essays. We assume that argumentation is inner in natural languages (Koch, 2011; Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca, 2014; Fiorin, 2017) and we take the proposal of kinds of arguments shown in Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014). Then, we consider that the speaker (Enem candidate) delivers a speech (essay) in order to persuade the audience (The Evaluation Commission) with respect to a thesis, by employing rhetorical elements for that. Our hypothesis is that the definition argument may be one of the most frequent resources in the structure of this text, since the comprehension of the essay structure considers the fact that the candidate must deeply discuss the problem. In this case, the candidate can use definitions (or redefinitions) as resources to deepen and to indicate his argumentative direction. After analyzing 31 essays from Enem (2018 edition), supported by Tropes software, we found 11 different verbs related to the argument by definition – even some of them cannot be analyzed in this way. The most frequent case was the ser (to be) verb, that appears in 167 contexts of 1.679 verbs found in the research, especially in compound periods in predicative contexts. Then, we conclude that the New Rhetoric studies can contribute to characterize the genre Enem essay as well as to solve some difficulties found in the teaching of writing, especially for argumentative texts. |

Partimos do princípio de que a argumentação é intrínseca às línguas naturais (Koch, 2011; Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca, 2014; Fiorin, 2017) e tomamos como base teórica a proposta de discussão de tipos de argumentos de Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014). Nesse contexto, consideramos que o orador (candidato do Enem) usa um discurso (redação) com vistas a persuadir o auditório (banca) sobre uma tese e deve usar argumentos específicos para isso. Nossa hipótese é de que o argumento por definição pode ser um dos elementos mais recorrentes na estrutura desse texto, já que o entendimento da estrutura dessa redação leva em conta a necessidade de o candidato dissertar sobre o tema. Nesse caso, ele poderá usar a definição e a redefinição como recursos para aprofundar o tema e indicar a direção argumentativa. Ao analisarmos 31 redações do Enem de 2018, com auxílio do programa Tropes, encontramos 11 verbos distintos relacionados ao argumento por definição. O caso mais recorrente foi do verbo ser, que aparece em 167 contextos dos 1.679 encontrados com verbos, sendo bastante frequente a estrutura em períodos compostos com orações subjetivas. Com isso, concluímos que o estudo da Nova Retórica pode contribuir para a caracterização do gênero redação do Enem, bem como para superar dificuldades encontradas no ensino de língua, em especial de textos argumentativos.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2021-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/5442310.4025/actascilangcult.v43i1.54423Acta Scientiarum.
