L’assaig seriat de Joan F. Miraanàlisi pragmaestilística i virtualitats per a l’educació discursiva

Abstract

Opinion column is one of the facets that has accompanied the polyhedric intellectual career of the Valencian writer Joan F. Mira. A significant part of his articles originally published in the press have been subsequently gathered in a series of books that provide unity to these texts, configuring his arranged in series essays. Based on the epistemological tools offered by pragmaestilistics, this thesis analyses the expressive resources that characterize the author's essay style and, specifically, the persuasive effect that is involved in it. In addition to this, the thesis explores the possibilities of these articles as useful materials for the discursive education of pupils of compulsory secondary education and grammar school in order to strengthen the students' competence regarding both the improvement of their interpretative and productive skills and the encouragement of their reflexive and critic spirit.
