Da determinação histórica da língua(gem): contribuições da análise do discurso ao ensino da linguística

Abstract

Based on the assumption that the relation established by the Discourse Analysis between language and history is what marks its discontinuity in relation to the other subjects from the field of Linguistic Science, this paper aims to problematize the contributions of the Discourse Analysis to the teaching of this science. For this, a discussion is presented that follows the development of the very relationship between language and history within the subject: i) construction of the discourse object; ii) the production conditions of the discourse and their relation with historical materialism; iii) the dialogue established with the New History and the works of Michel Foucault. Finally, we will demonstrate how the theoretical-conceptual framework of the Discourse Analysis that follows from the conceptions of history adopted by the subject is currently thought and operationalized. To this end, we will utilize the concept of discursive memory and the notion of interconnectivity, by analyzing two photographs of Lula, one from 1979 and one from 2018. The aim is then to demonstrate that what differentiates the Discourse Analysis from other linguistic subjects is also what it offers and adds to the study of language.
