ROCHA, Luiz Fernando Matos. REPORTED SPEECH IS PROBLEM; FICTIVE INTERACTION, SOLUTION: DISCURSIVE AND INFORMATIONAL PATTERNS IN A SPONTANEOUS SPEECH CORPUS OF BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE. Lingüística [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.131-149.  Epub Nov 09, 2020. ISSN 2079-312X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312x.20200018.

This article deals with two conceptually correlated phenomena, Reported Speech and Fictive Interaction (Pascual 2014), based on the theory of fictivity (Talmy 2000) about discrepant representations of the same object: discourse. It is postulated that RS and FI trigger the Conversation Frame to structure the discursive construction. The former is taken as factive or genuine and the latter as fictive or not genuine. In the search for empirical evidence in C-ORAL-BRASIL I (Raso e Mello 2012), informal spontaneous speech corpus of Brazilian Portuguese, it was verified that instances of Reported Speech represent factual problems, while of Fictive Interaction, pro-factual solutions, according to the discursive pattern "Problem-Solution" (Hoey 2001). In addition, it has been observed that such instances, even though they carry unique illocutionary acts, are grouped into attentional frames (Langacker 2008) that transcend the uniqueness of the informational components, relating them prosodically and pragmatically.

Keywords : Fictivity; Fictive Interaction; Reported Speech; Spontaneous Speech.
