Discourse Interaction

General Description

Verbal interaction is an area of study where the detailed analysis of how people actually communicate in Portuguese has been remarkably scarce and centered mainly on politeness verbal strategies, forms of address and classroom discourse.

The explicit focus of this research group is thus on the interactional process, namely the examination of the discourse structures and strategies involved both in real life and in fictional situations, in spontaneous and institutional environments, and their relationship to a wide range of theoretical models.

The group members come from a variety of scientific backgrounds and intend to pursue an interdisciplinary approach to their research, believing very strongly that it will be a factor in the understanding of the complex phenomena involved in their research object.
