Abstract

Based on the intersection among linguistics, psychoanalysis and clinical practice in speechtherapy treatments, this thesis aims to discuss the role of reading aloud in the process of language appropriation by the child, supporting the hypothesis that reading aloud, due to its specificities, positively interferes in this process. We take reading aloud in its subjectivating and discursive dimension, which calls into play the language, the body and the desire of the one who reads (the reader) and the one who listens (the listener). We assume the processes of language appropriation from a non developmental perspective, but which considers such processes as relative to different subjective positions. This is a theoretical research illustrated with transcripts/vignettes from speechtherapy clinical treatments and excerpts from the literary literature. From our reflections and from the theoretical discussion, we argue that the characteristics of reading aloud the presentiality updated by the voice and by the look, the summons by the sounding body and its potential to transmit culture - are significant and may positively interfere in the process of writing appropriation.
