| Abstract | |
In this research work we have aimed to understand the constitution and the functioning of the designation of the name "Portuguese" in a particular space of enunciation in Latin America: the region of the River Plate, in Argentina. More specifically, we have aimed to understand the historical and political determinations that affect the constitution of the senses (sens, in French; sentidos, in Portuguese) of the name "Portuguese" in a space of enunciation whose official language is not Portuguese. Our corpus consisted of a series of interviews with students and teachers from the Profesorado en Portugués (major in Portuguese as a Foreign Language) of the National University of Entre Ríos, located in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina. Given the objectives of this research and our analysis material, we have worked with the hypothesis that the metaphors of "Portuguese" determined the constitution and the functioning of the designation of this name in the space of enunciation studied here. Taking the Historical Semantics of the Enunciation for granted, we have developed a theoretical-analytical reflection about the way we understand the enunciative functioning of the metaphor and how this functioning determines the constitution of the designation of the name "Portuguese" in the enunciative events we have analyzed. This research allows us to understand, among other things, the normative and uneven distribution of the languages in the Latin American space of enunciation. In other words, by studying the senses of "Portuguese" in this part of Latin America, it was observed that the politics of languages (as this concept is conceived by Orlandi (2007b)) is structured by a litigious dispute that characterizes the real of languages in relation. As effects of such dispute, on one hand, we can state that some languages, as well as its speakers, are excluded from its rights to symbolize the real and, on the other hand, this exclusion sets the scene for the different ways by which these excluded languages affirm its belonging to the space of enunciation of Latin America (AU) | |
