| Abstract | |
This thesis analyzes the textual and discursive construction of the point of view through nominal forms in argumentative context - articles in male and female magazines. A hypothesis entertained here is that the notion of point of view, beyond the narrative focalization in fiction, can be deployed in order to analyze the complexity of relations among the instances that embody discourse. It also helps understanding the enunciative heterogeneity that establishes and governs positions. In terms of this dialogic approach, the point of view is not only intimately related to the mechanisms of subjectivity expression, but can also be defined in terms of the enunciative position, or as a set of enunciative positions which are entwined and can be investigated as referentiation, precisely the manner the subject apprehends an object of discourse. The mode of apprehension of objects of discourse reveals the dialogic aspect of nominal forms which, being themselves referentiation strategies, act directly on the representation of the point of view. This entails that an object of discourse will always unfold according to a certain perspective, since the object manifests the point of view of one or more enunciators. In this sense, investigating the construction of the point of view through referential and predicative nominal forms takes us to the following question: how do nominal forms contribute to "putting" a perspective of oneself and the other in discourse, so as to orient it argumentatively? In this process, the locutor/enunciator relations are fundamental, and enable us to analyze the mechanisms of commitment (prise en charge), consideration (prise en compte), and imputation, as well as the hierarchization of enunciators. In dialogism, such mechanisms perform differently the manifestation of the presence of oneself and the other in discourse, thus configuring points of view. The other's point of view is identified not only by the assumed speech (prise en charge), but also through the speech and perceptions attributed to the text producer (prise en compte and imputation). Therefore, in order to textually and discursively construct the point of view, the producer brings enunciators and points of view together in accordance with the "to make see" that configures the argumentative orientation of a text. In this gathering together, the point of view of the producer is presented in this orchestration of "voices" - perceptions, speeches and actions - which represent the point of view of supporting enunciators (AU) | |
