El escrito en la oralidad: el texto intentado

Abstract

After a short presentation of previous research done by the authors -Group GREAL- aiming to bridge the gap between language use and language knowledge, the text focuses on oral interaction in the process of collaborative writing. Collaborative text production takes place in the framework of didactic sequences (SD), a teaching and learning model of writing developed and experimented by this group. A succint description of SD characteristics is offered. Concepts as intended text (Ti), as opposed to written text (Te), and reformulation are presented, exemplified and discussed as theoretical and methodological constructs able to interpret the diverse cognitive and sociocognitive factors interacting in the composition process. Through them evidence is given of the participants linguistic and metalinguistic activity during the process. Ti and reformulation analysis gives relevant information about: a) planification, textualization and revision operations along joint text production; b) factors involved in text modifications across the writing activity -text cohesion, the writers'enunciative position, and text correction. Moreover, it brings evidence to the hypothesis that relates collaborative text production to the enhancement of metalinguistic activity and learning.
