O texto mostra a língua, costura e descostura discursos

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze a language structure which, taken to a different sphere,  a different discursive practice, a different culture, leads to the appearance of equally differing discourses which, in turn, point to the language assets and to its discursive productivity in different contexts. Based on the concepts of sphere and dialogical relations, both stemming from Bakhtinian terminology, and taking into account that language studies practiced by different trends of discourse analysis agree on the fact that they all seek to understand the production of meaning by means of historical, social and cultural dimensions, this paper aims, mainly, at observing the verses of a Brazilian ontemporary song in which the verb  vir (to come) is used in its pronominal form vir-se (also to come). Noticing the presence of this form – which is totally strange to Brazilian speakers of Portuguese – in the Brazilian artistic realm, one is led to recognize the forms of language in use as part of the object targeted by analyses and by the theories of discourse.
