A semiótica das emoções no discurso ficcional

Abstract

Addressing emotions, in the frame of an international theory of discourse, confirms the central place of expressing emotions in the relational dimension through verbal, non verbal and para verbal elements. Fictional communication devices are a good example of emotional semiotic strategy spaces, once fiction is vulnerable to the appearance of patemic effects. Reading a literary text, under this perspective, is a good reason to bring readers closer to literary texts and the access to these closer to the aesthetic experience.
