THE ARGUMENTATIVE AND POLYPHONIC FUNCTION OF THE NARRATIVE TEXT

In this paper, aims to verify how to happen the argumentative and polyphonic function of the narrative text, from the analysis of the tale A moça tecelã (The weaver girl) from Marina Colasanti. Therefore, the article is based in presuppositions of the Semantic Theory of the Blocks and in concepts taken from the Enunciation Polyphonic Theory, proposed by Ducrot (1984a, 1988). We defend the hypotheses: a) the narrative of the tale A moça tecelã is determined by meanings of “time”, while element responsible to bring and take away events; b) the narrative texts are crossed by the argumentation constituent of the viewpoint expressed by the enunciator, put in scene by the speaker; c) the argumentative function of the tale mobilizes two discourses about marriage. As a result, it was noted that in the narrative texts are found argumentative discourses, that were formalized in utterances produced from the semantic analysis of the tale A moça tecelã and by which function in this tale two concepts of time e two discourses about marriage.
