INTERATIVIDADE NA CORRESPONDêNCIA PUBLICADA EM JORNAIS PAULISTAS

the objective of this paper is to analyze, from a textual-interactive perspective, how the discursive genre of letters from the readers was constituted and modified due to interactive needs, that is, the dialogism established between writers and their interlocutors, as evidenced in the linguistic markers found in the letters published in the sao paulo press in the 19th century. those newspapers had a section dedicated to letters sent by the readers, many of which asked for help in solving a problem or told about a specific episode that needed a solution. thus, it could be said that this section was an advice and requests column, as well as a way of establishing contact with relatives or friends. the object of study is made up of 14 letters published between 1828 and 1893 in the following newspapers: farol paulistano, diário de s？o paulo, a província de s？o paulo, correio paulistano.
