Summary/Abstract: Considerations on enunciation theories have had a major impact on the approach of the literary discourse. Enunciative strategies value the aspects of the pragmatics of enunciation, such as: communicative action, dialogue, polyphony. Mikhail Bahtin developed a theory of language, translinguistics, based on key concepts in the evolution of pragmatics: “Dialogism”, “Polyphony”, etc. The term “polyphony” distinguishes between two methods of use: the application to speech phenomena (M. Bahtin), the application to language phenomena (O. Ducrot). In the conception of the Russian linguist, polyphony emphasizes the intrinsically dialogical character of the discourse, in the conception of the French linguist, polyphony is related to the enunciation. In the current research, we aim to briefly present the two uses of the concept.
