Three stages in the written communication process

Abstract

The production process in written communication is understood as the process of passing from ideas (abstract) to the discourse or communicative realization (concrete). A step among a series of stages showing the particular development in such a process, specifically one of its results: the writing. The stages considered in this research are: cognitive, linguistic and communicative. The purpose was to describe its state in the production of narrative stages, starting from the analysis of linguistic and textual structures or levels. The first stage shows that students do not plan what they write, based on the global coherence of their writings. The second stage showed the difficulty in keeping topic progression and the lack of efficient contribution of markers and connectors in the structural organization of the written ideas. The third stage showed the ignorance of the writing super structural organization. Data show that students do not have a conceptual, relational and academic consideration of the effect of the three stages in the process to produce a written text.
