Abstract

Most students entering superior education find difficulties concerning text interpretation. Doubts regarding thematic, the author´s point of view, and mainly the arguments the author uses to defend these points of view are common when tasks are proposed with argumentative texts. In this sense, based on propositions of Paula Carlino (2009) for teaching reading and writing in superior education (academic literacy), and the Greimas semiotic as theoretical and methodological support, this article follows the analysis of an opinion text aiming to provide methodological grants to help newcomers to graduation in working with this textual form. Differences between opinion and argument, forms of argumentation, and semantic structure of the texts are issues discussed from the text in analysis.
