Abstract

The present work is part in a research on the trends adrift in
Brazilian Portuguese formal writing, in order to investigate
the normative implications and consequences for the pedagogy
of that language. It is focused on the so called “redundancies”.
I discuss some of the hypotheses about the discursive working of the redundancies: 1. a semantic emptying out of the words
occur, thus justifying “repetition”; 2. to paraphrase in a
discursive formulation is one of the sides of redundancy; 3.
redundancies prevent the possibility of deformation at the
moment of interpretation. Thus, I investigate the plurivoicing
in the enunciations and the play between identity and alterity
there observed.
