A movimentação tópica numa visão pragmático discursiva

This paper retakes previous works on the topic and its development (Aquino, 1991; Favero, 1993), the relevance of questions and answers in the discursive organization (Favero, Andrade and Aquino, 1996; Favero and Andrade, 1998; Favero and Aquino, 1998, Favero, 2001), in corpus constituted by spontaneous conversations, materials of project NURC, and printed or TV interviews. The objective is to examine the textual-interactive organization starting from three fundamental points: the discursive topic and its organization in the dialogical pair P-R, the topical movement in specific questions and the use of the digression as discursive strategy in the topical movement.
