El estilo directo en el discurso teatralun estudio a partir del Archivo de Textos Hispánicos de la Universidad de Santiago

Resumo

Direct style procedures in Spanish have been extensively studied from a discursive point of view in different contexts. However, there are still certain gaps that leave some discourses unexplored that may also be interesting in an in-depth study of citation. In this way, the present study aims to contribute to the portrait of direct quotation in a type of discourse little explored from the grammatical point of view as it is theatrical. From the study of a corpus of examples taken from the plays registered in the Archivo de Textos Hispánicos de la Universidad de Santiago, they will try to establish the procedures of direct citation in a type of discourse that is created as an imitation of another and that it has the particularity of combining two linguistic manifestations: the written language that supports the work as reading and the oral language that it tries to emulate as a dramaturgy. To do this, it is paid attention to the formal, grammatical and semantic properties of the statements, which reveals a series of features characteristic of direct-style constructions in theatrical discourse that seem to differentiate them as a class and lay the foundations for future contrastive studies with respect to others types of oral or written speeches.
