Concept and Objectives

We live in a society where writing is highly valued and used as a form of communication in many spheres of life, from the personal to the professional. In this context, it is essential to understand the mechanisms that make a text cohesive and coherent, so that we can produce efficient and effective texts in the communication process.

Cohesion and coherence are two fundamental concepts in the study of text production. Cohesion refers to the grammatical and semantic relationships between the words and sentences of a text, while coherence concerns the organization of information and ideas, so as to ensure the text is understood as a whole.

Thus, the goal of this course is to develop writing techniques that enable the production of cohesive and coherent texts, based on an understanding of the mechanisms that ensure textual quality. To this end, fundamental concepts of textuality in various textual/discursive genres will be discussed, and knowledge of the lexical-grammatical mechanisms of the Portuguese language will be expanded.
