Procedimentos de glosa e parafrasagem na TOPE: descrição analítica e reflexiva

Abstract

This work aims to investigate how the concepts of gloss and paraphrase are mobilized in Culiolian studies, from the perspective of the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations (TOPE). To this end, we conducted bibliographic research based on the analysis of four theoretical articles: Valentim's (2021) research on the theoretical and methodological characteristics of TOPE; Moreno's (2022) work on the enunciative functioning of exclamatory statements; Sousa and Pria's (2024) investigation into the functioning of the linguistic unit NOVO; and finally, Souza and Pria's (2025) operational study of reflexivity. The methodological approach consisted of identifying and describing the analytical procedures employed by the authors in the mobilization of gloss and paraphrase, as well as comparing the different modes of operation of these concepts in relation to the linguistic objects analyzed. The results show that, although the authors share the theoretical assumptions of TOPE, glossing and paraphrasing are used in distinct ways, assuming specific functions in the construction of descriptive hypotheses, in the analysis of inferential processes, and in the description of the semantic-enunciative functioning of linguistic units. In general, the analyses confirm that glossing and paraphrasing constitute central theoreticalmethodological procedures in the Culiolian perspective, since they allow the operations performed by subjects in language activity to become visible, reinforcing the conception that meaning is not pre-constructed, but is the result of the interaction between subjects in enunciative situations
