Metaenunciação: uma questão de interdiscurso e de relevância

Abstract

This paper discusses the fundamental difference between pragmaticsand discourse analysis (French line) in relation to the metaenunciationor comments in the discourse about the discourse itself.This difference involves the concepts of “circumstances” and“production conditions”. It will be seen that both theories refer toeach other in a reductionist way and that certain facts could beunderstood better if the discourse analysis considered circumstantialaspects which, from this point of view, are relevant only for pragmatics.
