Resumo: O que está em discussão nesta tese é a construção do sentido na leitura, discussão possibilitada aqui por uma das maneiras de se estudar o sentido, ou seja, perseguir justamente a sua falta. O nonsense é essencial à definição de sentido porque constitui a sua margem, o seu limite. Não há como definir um sem o outro: só se sabe o que é o sentido ao esbarrarmos em seus limites. Para que haja o nonsense é pre_iso que haja o sentido, mesmo que seja o sentido paradoxalmente posto em questão. Para que haja o que não é nonsense é preciso que haja, em algum lugar, o que é. O nonsense sempre se refere a um séntido ao qual não podemos nos reportar, não podemos recorrer. A investigação se dá, então, na natureza do que é negado. Por isso trabalhei aqui com dados indiciários e o que propus foi uma possibilidade de leitura nonsense. O capítulo que trata do nonsense mostra o quanto este efeito está calcado na forma que o texto tem. No capítulo sobre leitura levanto estudos que discutem a origem do significado: elenco desde autores que consideram que o significado de um texto está nele mesmo, a autores que postulam que este significado é dado pelo leitor. Faço ainda, em outro capítulo, um percurso por considerações acerca da leitura em língua estrangeira já que os dados com que trabalhei provêm dessa situação de leitura. Partindo de uma concepção dialógica da linguagem só é possível concluir que o sentido de um texto é resultado da leitura, resultado do trabalho que faz sobre o texto o leitor. Lendo, esse leitor circula dentro do uníverso de leituras possíveis determinado ao mesmo tempo por todas as outras leituras que se faça de um texto e por cada uma delas. Dentre essas possibilidades está a leitura nonsense. Nos dados analisados aqui não há um investimento para a criação proposital do efeito de nonsense. No entanto, é do efeito que causa um texto nonsense que se aproxima o efeito obtido na leitura dos trechos analisados. E é a leitura que instala essa aproximação. O que procurei fazer foi determinar os descaminhos da leitura trilhados pelo leitor sob análise
Abstract: This work presents a discussion of an alternative approach to the construction of meaning in .reading through the use of nonsense, or lack of meaning. The investigation probes the nature of what is being denied and the interactive of relationship between the text and the reader in the struggle to establish meaning. The thesis identifies a dialectical relationship between sense and nonsense and argues that the existence of nonsense is critical to the definition of sense, as it establishes the edges, or limits of meaning

Full textDue to certain fundamental flaws, orthodox linguistics has not succeeded in producing a coherent account of 'schizophrenic language' - the host of symptoms that are alternatively characterised as evidence of formal thought disorder or labelled as disorganised speech, a disorder in itself. The most important of these flaws are its treatment of languages as fixed codes, which doubles as an explanation of how linguistic communication works, and its postulation of the mental structures that would be necessary if languages were indeed fixed codes, and communication a matter of encoding and decoding messages. In particular, orthodox linguistics has bolstered the now-dominant neo-Kraepelinian, biomedical account of schizophrenia, which treats utterances as symptoms that give clues to brain (dis)organisation and (dys) function. Integrational linguistics, which criticises the culturally based assumptions - collectively referred to as 'the language myth' - that are at the heart of the orthodox account of languages and language, provides an alternative. It sympathises with the growing trend in cognitive science and philosophy towards 'embodiment' and 'distributed cognition', which recognises that encultured entities like languages, minds, brains, bodies, and world are intrinsically defined by their co-evolution in the species, and co-emergence during an individual's development. Integrationists argue that by focusing in the first instance on second-order cultural constructs called 'languages', orthodox linguistics fails to give an account of the first-order experience of language users. This thesis approaches the topic of 'schizophrenic language' from a broadly integrationist perspective in order to demonstrate that because orthodox linguistics is so widely taken for granted in psychiatry, its biases inform current mainstream accounts of schizophrenic language, motivate the outright dismissal of interpersonal accounts, past and present, and provide a skewed picture of the phenomenon it purports to be describing, by ultimately constructing an individual-focused, deficit-based account of what is not, as opposed to what is. That is, by holding up orthodox linguistics' idealised version of communication and speakers (which has little applicability even to 'normal' language users), it uses deviation from the ideal as description and explanation, rather than recognising the strategies actually employed by schizophrenics in their attempts to make sense, even if these attempts fail. The alternative argued for here is to apply the tenets of integrationist linguistics to schizophrenic language behaviour, to give a fuller account of communication situations involving schizophrenics and normal interlocutors. As a result, this thesis calls for a reformulation of the idea that incomprehensibility stems from deviant speech, itself the product of an irrational brain. 'Sense', 'deviance' and 'irrationality' are a moment-to-moment metalinguistic appraisals made by language users, second-order cultural constructions that shape the speech community's response to certain individuals. Describing the speech of schizophrenics as 'deviant', 'irrational', or 'nonsensical' constrains their jointly-constructed capability of making sense using the resources (which may include other individual's minds) at their disposal. Integration linguistics thus brings into focus a moral and political dimension to such descriptions which is obscured by an orthodox linguistics-biased biomedical approach.
