PROXÊMICA LINGUÍSTICO-DISCURSIVA: UM MECANISMO DE MODALIZAÇÃO INTERSUBJETIVA.

Based on the conceptual contributions of proxemics and verbal proxemics, we aim to construct the concept of linguistic-discursive proxemics. Therefore, we will use three empirical texts, with the purpose of giving visibility to this mechanism in three distinct theoretical fields: the theories of (im)politeness and face; the notion of discourse genres; and the indexicality common to contextualization cues, referencing and social/discursive deixis. In short, we found that the linguistic-discursive proxemics, present in the three theoretical fields, is related to the establishment of more/less (as)symmetric interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
