DESENVOLVIMENTO DO DISCURSO NARRATIVO: A EMERGÊNCIA DAS DIFERENTES VOZES (1)

Abstract

In this paper, we shall present issues regarding to the initial development of language and literacy. The focus of our work sets in towards the oral narrative speech constitution mediated by enunciative practices of reading and telling stories. In this context, we have observed the interactions between a child aged from 02;01 to 03,05 and his or her interlocutors about objects which hold written texts (books, magazines, comics, etc.), in familiar universe considered in a high level of literacy. Within these practices, we have focused the emergence of different voices which compose narrative speech (empirical interlocutors, narrator, and characters) and their relations with speech monologization development (articulation of different voices in a single text), searching retrospectively the history of its constitution. We have adopted, with this intent, the socioconstructivist and enunciative theoretical and methodological premises, taking as representatives of these views, respectively, Vygotsky and Bakhtin. We could identify through our data analysis some interactional procedures which are responsible for the narrative speech construction through the emergence of different voices. We have concluded, as well, that oral practices and literacy interpenetration is of fundamental importance to the emergence of lettered speech, once we could assemble the dialogical history of its constitution, as well as the one of every genre of speech.
