Em busca de um modelo de leitura

Abstract

In this paper we discuss some of the cognitive processes involved in reading, and the relationship among them. We also present a reading model, that may be called linear or serial, which is based on the theory of the modularity of the mind defended by Fodor (1983). Based on criticisms of this model, another is proposed, which, however, supports the parallel processing of the information. We propose as well a review of some concepts involved in the reading process, taking the relevance theory, proposed by Sperber and Wilson (1986/95), as a starting point.
