| dc.description.abstract | This research aims to understand, through enunciative analysis of the language of
subjects with aphasia, the phenomenon of deixis linked to the types of aphasia
proposed by Roman Jakobson, the first linguist who researched the issues of language
in disorder. Therefore, the written and oral productions of two subjects with aphasia
who are part of the Interdisciplinary Research Group (GIC) of the Federal University of
Santa Maria (RS), Brazil, were interrelated and analyzed. The aphasia classifications
proposed by Jakobson were used. In order to understand the deictics in the language
of subjects with aphasia, we follow Émile Benveniste's proposition that Man constitutes
himself as a subject in and through language and, with that, we chose Benveniste's
theory of enunciation to support our reflections. From this perspective, the
phenomenon of deixis reveals the subject in the act of producing a unique and
unrepeatable statement. Also, it is used to refer to the world through discourse.
Therefore, in written and oral enunciative facts, the markers of person, space and time
were considered, as well as the non-verbal (gestural) aspects involved in the
constitution of meanings in enunciative situations. Each research participant attended
six writing workshops and socialized orally with the rest of the Group, using the themes
developed in each of the meetings. The deictic manifestations, on the collected oral
records, led us to the observation that: there is a certain vehemence of person markers
in the enunciative facts, related to similarity disorders, as well as the occurrence of
metaphorized gestures, pointing gestures and facial expressions with different
meanings. In the oral enunciative facts related to the contiguity disorder, the spacetime indicators are vehement, with little use of the pronoun “I”. In written records, the
contiguity disorder manifests the absence of spatial deictics and the permanence of
person markers. In similarity disorder, writing presents regularity in the use of the
pronoun “I” and verbs conjugated in the past, present and future. Finally, we
understand that the interrelation of deictic manifestations in orality and writing, and the
types of aphasia proposed by Jakobson, point to possible displacements in the
understanding of language in disorder. | |
