THE TEXT PLANT: A SEMANTIC ENUNCIATIONAL STUDY ON THE FORTRESS BUILT BETWEEN THE 17TH AND 18TH CENTURIES IN MATO GROSSO
Plant text. Colonial Fortresses. Event Semantics.
The enunciation allows talking about a name inscribed in history. The research in the Semantics of the Event allowed us to know the history of this name and understand how, in the semantic functioning, it produces meaning, and how it produces. Thus, studying the names of the forts, Fort Nossa Senhora da Conceição (1759), later renamed Fort Bragança (1774); Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres do Iguatemi Fort (1765); Coimbra Fort (1776); Real Forte do Príncipe da Beira (1777) and Forte Junqueira (1871), built in the Captaincy of Mato Grosso, in the Colonial period, meant, for us, to know a real past through enunciation. Thus, this thesis belongs to the area of concentration Study of Linguistic Processes, inscribed in the research line Studies of Meaning Processes of the Stricto Sensu Graduate Program in Linguistics at the State University of Mato Grosso (PPGL/UNEMAT). The theoretical basis of this study is the Semantics of the Event developed by the semanticist Eduardo Guimarães (2009, 2017, 2018), in line with Karin (2012, 2021), Dias (2013, 2018 ) and other theorists from different areas such as Military Engineering, theory with which we dialogued according to our object of analysis, the architectural plan of fortresses built in Mato Grosso, a period that corresponds to the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th. In this way, we seek to substantiate the floor plan as a text and, specifically, to show how the verbal and non-verbal elements, when articulated, produce meanings and enable the floor plan to mean as a text.
