As marcas de oralidade e a construção da metamensagem em A falecida, de Nelson Rodrigues

Abstract

This work studies the orality marks and the manifestation of metamessages at the carioca tragedy, A falecida by Nelson Rodrigues, in order to understand if this literary text can give us linguistic marks able to work as interactional strategies. We aim to understand how a built text, called a second hand corpus, can apply linguistic clues that are typical of orality, and become a reality mimesis, without, however, reproduce it. Based on these concerns, we aim to answer: are there expressive oral marks at the play A falecida by Nelson Rodrigues? For that, we take, as parameters, the Sociolinguistic theoretical fundaments, the Conversation Analysis and the Speech Analysis. We assume that exist, in literature, some authors that are concerned about elaborate texts that aims to reproduce the naturalness of real dialogues. To achieve this spontaneity, however, these authors believe in a language with real syntactic-speech and morpholexicals features typical of orality. When we refer to the first features, we are concerned, at the tragedy A falecida, about the composition and the length of the sentences; the linguistic exchange among the participants of the interaction; the construction mode of the speech; the lack of time for planning and replanning the speeches, and other features. When we analyze the morpholexicals features, we are concerned about finding, at the written play, some marks recurrent in oral texts, like slangs, diminutive, hyperbolic constructions, phonetic transcriptions, and so on. Guided by theoretical concepts developed throughout the work, and submitting our conjectures to the analysis of the excerpts from the play A falecida, selected among so many others texts of the author, due his constant concern to portrait daily life, with its prose and its oral manifestations, we find, at the play, a lot of typical oral traces and observed that this kind of mark in a built text, when used conscious or unconsciously may help in the construction of a lot of implicit messages (or metamessages)
