Abstract

This paper analyzes the phenomenon of factive and fictive selfquotation in terms of construal operations according to Talmy (1996, 2000), Langacker (1999, 2008), Verhagen (2005, 2007), and Rocha (2006a e b, 2010). Based on data extracted from Brazilian and European Portuguese corpora for qualitative purposes, the selfquotation frame of direct speech shows factive instances of their communicative types as diametrically opposed, but contiguous, to its fictive instances. In a continuum, these instances are respectively managed by objective or subjective construal operations.
