This dissertation, in the context of Experimental Psycholinguistics, aims to investigate the influence of cohesion and coherence in the co-referential processing of repeated nouns and pronouns in brazilian portuguese, increasing the comprehension about the co-referential processing. Through the application of two experiments, using the online technique of automonitored reading, we manipulated a cohesion element (more precisely the presence or absence of connectives) as well as the coherence of the experimental sentences to investigate the anaphoric solution behavior in the face of different experimental conditions raised by such manipulations. The pronominal processing, observed in experiment 1, was not affected by incongruity issues or by the presence of connectives. Sentences of experiment 2 had significant differences in the time of reading, from the reading of anaphoric resumption with repeated noun. We observed that the processing of incongruent linguistic elements and anaphoric resumption with repeated nouns is more costly to the work memory when compared with the processing of incongruities and pronominal anaphora. Furthermore, through the acquisition and analysis of the reading times of the subjects who participate in the experiments, we could observe the psychological reality of certain postulates of Textual Linguistics, contributing to the approximation between two important areas of study about the human language.
