Dialogism: the statement order

Abstract

Dialogism is the order , the nature, the rule, of enunciation. Not only in the realm of discourse, with its interdiscursivity or constitutivity heterogeneity, but also in the realm of concrete realization, with its intertextuality, transtextuality or revealed heterogeneity, every enunciation calls for diverse utterances, stemming from other enunciative scenes. Every enunciation originates from the dialogic precept. Starting from this perspective, our article has the objective of discussing, in a brief manner, the dialogue which exists between Bakhtin’s concept of dialogism and the concepts of: transtextuality ( Genette, 1982), intertextuality ( Kristeva, 1968 ) and enunciative heterogeneity ( Authier-Revuz, 1982 ), as an attempt to ratify the constitutive relationship among the utterances, among the enunciations. Keywords: Dialogism. Interdiscursivity. Transtextuality. Intertextuality.
