PROSPETTIVE SULL’ENUNCIAZIONE NEL TESTO NARRATIVO, DALL’APPROCCIO STRUTTURALISTA ALLA VISIONE SCAPOLINE
PERSPECTIVES ON ENUNCIATING IN NARRATIVE TEXTS: FROM STRUCTURALIST APPROACHES TO SCAPOLINE VISION

Summary/Abstract: Perspectives on Enunciating in Narrative Texts: from Structuralist Approaches to ScaPoLine Vision. This enquiry posits that clarifications of the concepts involved can assist with a reconsideration of the gap dividing the two central visions on the concept of enunciation, generally subsumed to the linguistic-semiotic currents of structuralism, and respectively pragmatism. After briefly introducing the two positions, we offer an account of the varying, at times conflicting takes on the concepts of “locutor,” “enunciator,” “point of view,” with a view to place these phenomena in a framework liable to elicit their textual roles and valences. Using the function of deixis in indirect speech as a point of departure, we aim to illustrate the nexus voice – narrative instance – point of view with resort to exemplifications drawn from novel texts, and in so doing account for the difficulty of tracing an exact demarcation line between these.
