SUMMARY:

This doctoral thesis aims to examine point of view, enunciative responsibility and enunciative stances within the academic/scientific genre of the master’s dissertation, specifically in the section corresponding to the “theoretical framework” chapter, in relation to the propositional content articulated by the first enunciative speaker (S1/S1). The theoretical foundation of this study is grounded in Text Linguistics, particularly in Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA). As proposed by Jean-Michel Adam (2011, 2017, 2022), TDA constitutes a theoretical-methodological and descriptive approach. This research is also based on perspectives from Discourse Analysis and Enunciative Linguistics, as elaborated by Rabatel (2013, 2016, 2021), Passeggi, Rodrigues and Silva Neto (2010), Rodrigues (2022), Cabral (2021), and Cavalcante and Brito (2022). The analytical categories employed include: enunciative responsibility (spatial and temporal deixis, markers of mediating frameworks, phenomena of autonymic modalization, modality, markers of perceptual and cognitive representation, and verb tenses); point of view (represented, narrated, and asserted); and enunciative stances (co-enunciation, over-enunciation, and under-enunciation). According to Adam (2011), the object of study in TDA is the concrete, empirical text produced in everyday communicative contexts. Methodologically, this research is qualitative in nature and adopts a descriptive-interpretative approach (Marconi & Lakatos, 2002; Marconi & Lakatos, 2011). It also employs a mixed-methods design (Moraes, 2003). The corpus comprises the “theoretical framework” chapters of twelve master's dissertations from the Postgraduate Program in Language and Literature at the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), covering the years 2017 to 2019 and collected from its official website. The data analysis revealed that S1/S1 – the authors of the dissertations – adopted an authorial voice in certain textual zones of their academic/scientific writing, while in others, they delegated the enunciative role to second enunciators (e2), that is, cited scholars who are invoked and legitimized as expert voices to lend credibility to the discourse. The presence of co-enunciative stances was identified, characterized by the co-construction of a shared point of view between speaker and enunciator, thus indicating alignment. The stance of over-enunciation was also identified, in which the viewpoint of S1/S1 prevails over that of the second enunciator (e2). These recurrent discursive movements in the “theoretical framework” chapters of master’s dissertations contribute significantly to the construction of argumentative meaning within the text.
