Os atos de fala no processo de compra e venda em duas feiras de Parintins: uma análise pragmática.

Abstract

The present work presents the construction of speech acts in the process of buying and selling in two free fairs in the city of Parintins - AM, seeking to highlight the peculiarities of the research universe and the subjects' experiences. The theory of the Acts of Speech by J. L. Austin (1990) is used as the main contribution, along with recent studies by Kanavillil Rajagopalan (2010) on pragmatic studies. The concepts of community of practice are used and supported by Eckert and Ginet (1992), that allow to understand the communities of practice as a socially organized system, finally, the studies on Free Fairs of Araújo and Doula (2009) that allow the understanding about the universe "fair free", among other authorities that support the text. The qualitative nature and the ethnographic method used to perform this work allowed the immersion in the universe investigated in a complete way, for this reason, the work is written in the first person, since the ethnographic research allows the researcher to speak from his social place From the collected data, we selected fourteen conversations and reports that were analyzed according to the effects of locution, illocution and perlocution, pointed out by Austin within the theory of speech acts, in order to understand how these daily interactions are performed.
