Written-written retextualization

ABSTRACT In this study of the field of Text Linguistics, we discuss certain issues present in the process of retextualization, especially as to the aspects and procedures involved in the production of a written target-text based on an also written source-text, considering notions coined and discussed by Marcuschi. By presenting a theoretical-methodological framework that focuses specifically on the retextualization of speech to writing, the author ends up disregarding the processes involved in productions from the written, to the written. Having this gap as a basis for reflection and thinking about activities built by children in a school environment, our initial discussion presents a theoretical-methodological framework that specifically covers aspects and procedures involved in the process of retextualization of written genres to written genres. The aim is to contribute both to the improvement of the state of the art and to enable a more adequate methodological path in handling writing-writing retexting for the teacher/researcher.
