O livro de Provérbios e seu emprego em sala de aula

Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of the biblical text, in this case the book of Proverbs. Given the diversity of texts that are currently worked in the teaching of Portuguese language, consider proposing more interesting this genre, presenting it as draft analysis of this form of speech. The study was conducted by observing figures of speech, specifically metaphor, metonymy, personification and metaphorical comparisons found in this work. For the corpus, we selected the first five verses of each chapter, this total, choose those with figures and started the analysis. We chose to do rhetorical analysis considering the content of the messages appealing. The process of analysis was done comparing the commonalities in order to help students understand, identify and interpret the message figuratively, between the literal and figurative meaning of a particular proverb. Remember that figures such disregard for analysis, those words whose meaning, despite seeming to demonstrate connotative content, has ceased to have that semantic load placed on the use and the consequent wear and use this figure. It was evident that the content of the messages proverbial is timeless, ie, one can apply the advice that make this book until the present day, without running the risk of becoming anachronistic or commit semantic inconsistency.
