Da fala egocêntrica como fenômeno argumentativo e problematológico

Abstract

This paper proposes to read the phenomenon of egocentric speech – as defined by Lev Vigotski – as an argumentative and problematological phenomenon, although mobilized by a single empirical speaker. This theoretical investigation starts from the assumption that not only the enunciation is polyphonic, but also the psychological activity involved in the speech act. In this sense, language would be an instrument of thought and the problem of the thought-language relationship is the problem of considering certain modalities of concrete discourse, named egocentric, as tools for posing problems and forwarding them. Therefore, starting from a conception of the psychological clinic as an egocentric speech setting and from theoretical assumptions of Michel Meyer's Problematology, it is intended to provide methodological subsidies both for a better understanding of the linguistic, monologal phenomenon of egocentric speech, as well as the egocentric, and problematizing functions of discourse.
