RAMIREZ PENA, Luis Alfonso. LINGUISTIC STUDIES THAT PRECEED THE LITERARY DISCOURSE THEORIES. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2013, n.63, pp.163-176. ISSN 0120-5587.

This article shows the main arguments supporting the thesis about how the current literary discourse studies tendencies departed mainly from the linguistic developments, without omitting that the literary theory, philosophy and semiotics have also contributed to examining language in literature. Based upon the thesis defended here, where literature is conceived as discourse, the literary work is assumed as a result of an act of communication with aesthetic literary purposes, and where the significant organization is given from the perspective of the writer / enunciator of his world visualized and modalized in his discourse. Literature, in its discoursive condition, is not seen as a mere articulation of words or as a realization of language; it is a re-articulation of voices or discourses into a unique voice, the voice of the author in his own literary discourse.

Keywords : literary discourse; act of literary communication; discourse; literature; literary theory.
