BAKHTINIAN CONCEPTS IN THE WRITTEN TESTABSTRACT

The study discusses the way the bakhtinian concepts are used and developed in the construction, application, production and assessment in the written test during the university entrance examination. The concepts underlying the written production in that situation are: its purpose, the interlocutors involved, the genre to be observed, the social circulation of that genre, its textual support and the author’s position. Analyses of samples of texts written by candidates demonstrate that the use of those concepts in the instructions for the test allows the production of texts with authorship signs. Those signs show up as a result of the dialogic process in the written production.
