ALGUMAS CONSIDERA ES SOBRE A VARIáVEL “AUTONOMIA COMUNICATIVA” DA CARACTERIZA O DE MARCADORES DISCURSIVOS DA GRAMáTICA TEXTUAL-INTERATIVA

Within Textual-interactive Grammar, one of the parameters used to characterize discourse markers concerns the variable called “communicative autonomy”, which includes two possible linguistic features, namely, “presence of communicative autonomy” and “lack of communicative autonomy”. In this paper, we discuss such a variable and try to clarify when expressions present those features. In this respect, we suggest that an expression should be considered communicatively autonomous when it is able to work, by itself, as a complete and communicatively independent utterance.
