Abstract

In this paper, we present, analyze and discuss reading activities proposed in a Portuguese language textbook published in Brazil based on the dialogic concept of evaluative intonation, as an inherent element of social discursive practices, in order to verify its manifestation in this instrument of written language teaching. For this purpose, this study is based on the assumptions of Dialogism, underpinned in Bakhtin (2003[1979]; Volóchinov (2019[1926]; 2017[1929]); Medviédev (2016[1928]). In the methodology, a sequence of reading questions is analyzed from the theoretical features of the concept defined by the Circle, characterized and systematized by Bezerra (2020) and Bezerra; Menegassi (2021). The results infer that the evaluative intonation, as it has already been considered and worked in reading activities of the textbook, cooperates with the assimilation, re-evaluation, expansion, and updating of the discourse in use, to contribute to the meanings construction in reading in a teaching situation.
