An enunciative reading of the Brazilian sign language: the fairy tales genre

This article refers to an initial study of the discoursive processes of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) in the fairy tales genre under the light of the enunciative theory of Bakhtin. Current analysis data, although in its early stages, pointed out some relevant discoursive aspects about LIBRAS, mainly those related to the constitution of its interdiscursive dynamic. It refers to the understanding of how the different voices present in the text are built, how they differ in their compositional aspects, how they assimilate the discourse of other, and how they interrelate to each other and to the full context regarding the approach of the theme.
