A relação entre enunciados e contextos e os implícitos comunicacionais

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to make a pragmatic analysis of some utterances and its relation with contexts in order to find the linguistic characteristics proposed by the theorists and searchers John Austin, Paul Grice and Oswald Ducrot. The above authors propose the following theories: 1) Speech Acts (John Austin), which presents three classifications: locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary acts; 2) Cooperative Principal (Paul Grice), which is composed of four maxims: quality, quantity, relation and manner; and 3) Presupposition Triggers (Oswald Ducrot), which deals with the information that is implicit in the utterance, named as presupposition and implicature. In this way, the main goal of this study is to identify and point out in utterances took from different communicational situations the presence of the linguistic characteristics proposed in those theories. Ordinary everyday samples of comic strip, advertisement and daily speech integrate the development of this study. Such analysis allows us to observe that this field of knowledge is important in order to understand how the human beings, by the language in use, perform the communication process and how the utterances carry meanings that go beyond the explicitly declared meanings, without compromising the central subject of the dialogue.
