Reified forms of reference related to narrative characters affiliated with the legendary amazonian

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to analyze, from the assumptions of Textual Linguistics and Sociocognitivism, reified reference forms related to characters from narratives affiliated with the legendary Amazonian. I take as a theoretical basis the postulates of Marcuschi (2007), Fillmore (1976, 1977, 1982, 1985), Feltes (2007), Goffman (1974, 1988), Tomasello (1988, 1992a, 1995a, 2003), Koch 2004, 2006), Geertz (2008), Ferreira (1986), Abbagnano (2007), for whom, from various theoretical perspectives, referential-reification processes are results of sociocognitive and cultural reconstructions of entities and events in mobilization in narratives.

Key-words: textual linguistics; sociocognitivism; narratives; entities affiliated with the legendary; reification
