El estatuto de la subjetividad en la teoría polifónica de la enunciación

Abstract

This study aims at discussing the role that subjectivity plays in Ducrot's polyphonic theory of enunciation. The thesis developed is the following: there is a contradiction between the starting point that Ducrot assumes, i.e., Saussure's idea about the immanence of the linguistic analysis and his proposal of a diversity of subjective roles that speak in the enunciation. I claim that only by breaking the linguistic immanence and adopting a theory of historical subjectivity close to Bajtin's it is possible to maintain the idea of a polyphonic enunciation. Finally, the study proposes a reorganization of the polyphonic subjective roles from the notions of modality and deixis.
