Exercise 2:
ENEM-2014

There is the hypotrelic. The term is new, of unthinkable origin and still without a definition that captures its meaning in all its petals. All we know is that it comes from good Portuguese. For practical purposes, take hypotrelic to mean: antipodatic, unfunny, imprisoned; or perhaps, vicedicto: pedantic, acutely annoying, disrespectful to the opinions of others. Furthermore, since it is an invented word, and, as we will see later, since hypotrelic is annoyed by not tolerating neologisms, he begins by nominally denying his own existence.

(ROSA, G. Tutameia: third stories. Rio de Janeiro: Nova Fronteira, 2001) (fragment).

In this excerpt from a work by Guimarães Rosa, we can see the predominance of one of the functions of

a) metalinguistic, since the excerpt’s essential purpose is to use the Portuguese language to explain the language itself, hence the use of several synonyms and definitions.
b) referential, since the excerpt’s main objective is to discuss a fact that does not concern the writer or the reader, hence the predominance of the third person.
c) phatic, since the excerpt clearly attempts to establish a connection with the reader, hence the use of the terms “you know” and “tome-se hypotrelic”.
d) poetic, since the excerpt deals with the creation of new words, necessary for prose texts, hence the use of “hypotrelic”.
e) expressive, since the excerpt aims to show the author’s subjectivity, hence the use of the adverb of doubt “perhaps”.

ANSWER: A
