Description
Summary:The question investigated in this paper concerns the way humans construct themselves as communicating subjects both by depending on language use and, at the same time, mastering it. When human beings are involved in the necessary attribution of sense, they may be viewed as ‘intralocutors’. Such a condition requires adapting the conventional and interpretive scripts to a given interlocutive situation. Diatext is an instrument of pragmatically-oriented Discourse Analysis, which aims at satisfying the needs both of an interactivist (and constructionist) view of communicative meaning and, at the same time, concentrates on the (social) subject. The ‘spirit’ of an interlocution scene is accounted for by a number of socio-cognitive modules, proposed here to illuminate the relationship between (wo)man and discourse.
