DISCOURSE GENRES AS ENUNCIATIVE DEVICES OF SOCIAL PRACTICES: A THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL PERSPECTIVE

This paper has a didactic purpose and explores the relations of speech genres to social practices and their potential as didactic devices, presenting them theoretically and providing an analysis. The paper is based on the perspective of Dialogical Discourse Analysis (ADD - Analisis Dialogico del Discurso) by Bakhtin and the Circle. Such perspective considers both strictly linguistic and textual components of utterances and pragmatic discursive elements which come from the situation of sense production, i.e., from the context of enunciation, which imprints enunciation marks in texts resulting from discursive activity.
