| Paper Title | The Dialogue Embedded in the Dialogue: A Sociocultural Perspective |
| Abstract: | The organization of the discourse results from the social, cultural and ideological background of the society as a whole. Therefore, the moral, ethical and political values of the society can be observed by the use of the speaker’s discursive strategies. The objective of this paper is to examine one specific discursive strategy found in the talk of Brazilian speakers from Sao Paulo City: the "quoted speech". They use the “quoted speech” in a double way: related to its primary use when it was first enunciated and related to its second use, in the speaker’s utterance. Through this discursive strategy it is possible to verify the “level of freedom” that Sao Paulo speakers give to “quoted speech”, agreeing or not with their own ideology. This research is circumscribed under the “Enunciation Theory”, allied to bakhtinian language philosophy. The corpus analyzed is composed by real speakers, recorded by the NURC/SP Project. |
