Topicality, Retaken topic, Cognition.Abstract
Following a line of cognitive investigation, this research seeks to examine the cognitive processing strategy of reintrodution of a given topic, after some time an entity has been mentioned in the speech, based on oral narratives and speakers of low education degree. The theoretical orientation relies on the considerations presented by Dik (1989) concerning topicality strategies in the speech.Downloads
