- E essa é a minha opinião: para o estudo da emergência da escrita argumentativaPublication . Costa, Ana Luísa; Cerqueira, Sónia; Carreto, VanessaIn this article, we present an empirical study on early argumentative writing, in opinion texts written by children of the 2nd and 4th grade (1st cycle of basic education). The analysis of discourse and linguistic properties shows early skills in written argumentation. These results call into question the Portuguese teaching guidelines, which only begin providing for the writing of opinion texts in the 5th grade. This study also brings to light the conclusions of similar studies (Brassart, 1990, Leal & Morais, 2006) and contributes to the characterization of writing development and linguistic awareness in the initial school years.
- No limiar da escrita argumentativa: um estudo exploratórioPublication . Costa, Ana LuísaThe aim of this paper is to contribute with some empirical evidence to the study of the development of argumentative writing. Curricular documents and Portuguese syllabi over the past 30 years have neglected argumentative writing, as the writing of personal opinion texts in the 1st cycle of Basic Education. Although some literature on writing development conceives argumentative writing as a late skill, some research on argumentative writing development brings into debate the importance of promoting writing skills within different textual genres, specifically with argumentative texts, in order to improve linguistic literacy and increase writing skills.
