RESUMO

Reformulation, an extremely productive phenomenon in everyday language, is an activity of textual composition and discourse (re)organization in which the speaker makes a linguistic statement recasting a previous one, adjusting it according to their communicative intentions and to the ongoing interactive situation. Taking into account the recurrence of this phenomenon also in the language impaired by aphasia, this work aims at characterizing the activities of reformulation in conversations between aphasics and non-aphasics from a social cognitive perspective (Vygotsky, 1934, Tomasello, 1999, Marcuschi, 2003, Koch, 2004; Morato, 2007). On the assumption that even in present of (meta)linguistic difficulties aphasics do not cease to act competently in relation to the activity that the reflexive use of language implies in these instances, some guiding questions are established: i) which elements anchor the processes of (re)construction of meaning in the presence of various linguistics deficits, paraphasias, agrammatisms, difficulties in finding words, etc.? ii) how are the linguistic and interactional processes articulated in the activities which subjects undertake in interaction to adjust the production conditions of meaning in conversational text? iii) once aphasia can be seen as a metalinguistic impairment, what are the consequences so entailed in these (meta)reformulative activities? And finally, iv) once reformulation entails awareness of language, what can this relationship between reformulation and linguistic reflexivity reveal about the relationship between language and cognition in aphasia? Taking to a critical revision the literature traditionally produced in the field of Neurolinguistics, we focus on an alternative to the cognitive approach of the phenomenon - the possibility of a social cognitive approach to the reflexive processes (meta/epilinguistic) underlying reformulation activities in the aphasic and non aphasic language. Once the types, marks and functions of reformulation are identified in a corpus of conversations between aphasics and non-aphasics, we believe we can understand more accurately the similarities and differences that come to aphasic and nonaphasic speakers regarding textual-interactive strategies
