To say the other the already-said: interferences among interlocutive and interdiscursive alterities – in the heart of the said

Abstract

Opposing to descriptions that deal separately with interlocutive and interdiscursive aspects of language, this study aims at showing that enunciative facts present heterogeneities that articulates, in a subject’s saying, the other to whom she addresses herself and the other of the already-said. On the basis of Bakhtin’s dialogism, the paper proposes to discuss discursive alterity as established in two solidary plans: alterity represented for forms observable in language and constitutive alterity, pointing to the relationship with the other that saying produces.
