O Ethos de escritora de Clarice Lispector

Abstract

This paper aims to identify the ethos of the writer Clarice Lispector from the analysis of forty texts/chronicles that have writing as a theme, selected among chronicles written by her, and later collected and published in the book "A Descoberta do Mundo". Understanding that the author's image, built in its enunciation, incorporates to the work and contributes to its comprehension and reception, we consider it important to understand the linguistic resources used in the construction of this ethos, apprehended in what is "said" and in what is "shown", in the ensemble of the enunciation that the same one undertook, through the acts of language made along those situations of enunciation. To that end, we adopt the discourse analysis, in the theoretical perspective of Dominque Maingueneau and Patrick Charaudeau, the latter author been privileged through the fundamentals of its Semiolinguistic Analysis of Discourse.
