E-mail and letter to a radio program

With the advent of radio, a form of communication was established beyond the airwaves. What can be called the listener's letter emerged, assuming the role of a link between listener and broadcaster. However, since the establishment of this mode of interaction, there has been no study of this textual genre. This is what this work demonstrates, in an unprecedented and pioneering study of the textual genre of the listener's letter. In this way, the work deals with the socio-communicative functioning of the letter, e-mail and blog sent to a radio program, from the point of view of discursive studies of communicative genres from a socio-interactionist perspective. The aim is to analyze these genres comparatively, characterizing them in their context, describing the linguistic resources in each one, such as lexical selection, syntactic organization and forms of address, as well as observing discursive strategies and rhetorical organization. This book is aimed at teachers of Portuguese language at primary, secondary and university levels.
