The PROCESS OF INTRATOPIC ORGANIZATION OF EDITORIALS PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER O ESTADO DE S. PAULO IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE 20th CENTURY

Authors

Abstract

Topic organization is the organization of a text into hierarchically interrelated topics and the construction and sequencing of groups of utterances that develop these topics. Each group of utterances that develops one of the most specific topics is called minimal topic segment. The combination of utterances inside minimal topic segments is the so-called intratopic organization. Within Textual-Interactive Grammar, this paper aims at analyzing the intratopic organization of editorials published in the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, in the first half of the 20th century. The results indicate that these editorials follow a general rule of intratopic organization based on the combination between two types of units, named position and support, which are characterized by an opposition between general and specific thematic approach, respectively.
