RESUMO
The research takes the writing production of pupils concluding the third grade of high school as analysis object. It had born from my experience in classroom as Portuguese and English teacher. The generating question is about the nature of transformations made by the pupil at the moment of writing his composition out neatly. Mobilizing concepts from the Psychoanalysis, such as alienation and separation (LACAN: 1964), concepts from the Linguistic, such as the Articulation Polyphonic Theory (DUCROT: 1987) and concepts from the Argument Theory (PERELMAN: 2005), I started to investigate the existence of linguisticspeech transformations between the draft and the final version, whose main characteristic is to add value to the argument that was being developed in the draft; and to describe the nature of these transformations (in case that they existed), that pupils concluding high school had been able to make in texts produced in formal context of evaluation. I began with the hypothesis that to write a text with singularity traces demands a "work of writing" (expression created by RIOLFI: 2003). To investigate it, I took as analysis object an initial corpus of one thousand five hundred and fifty-eight compositions produced by adolescents on November 10, 2005, at SARESP (an evaluation system of school progress in São Paulo). But I decided to study only the compositions produced by pupils of the third grade of high school, an amount of two hundred and twelve compositions. I had to discard those compositions without a draft (fortyone compositions). Then, I effected a preliminary analysis of one hundred and seventy-one compositions, by analyzing these last mentioned, I verified that about half of the students paid attention to formal aspects (punctuation, orthography, addition of some words, changes of some words for its synonyms, correction of the nominal and verbal agreement etc.). I was convinced that the presence of singularity traces had some relation with the changes made by the pupil at the moment of writing his composition out neatly, then I started to analyze the nature of such linguistic-speech transformations. For this reason, I made a new clipping, from which, remained ninety compositions that are the final corpus of the present research. After concluded the intricate process to constitute the final corpus of this dissertation, a careful analysis of the texts was made. It brought to the surface an evidence: in a general way, when modifying the text, the pupils answered a demand of the other. After I arrived at this evidence, I decided to select only five compositions as examples, they are attached at the end of this work. Therefore, the conclusion that I arrived at is: instead of using the draft as an advantage opportunity to chance the text in order to support an own speech, the pupils preferred to rewrite the text according to the parameters thats supposed to be the speech of the other.
