Análise dos atos ilocutórios diretivos presentes no livro “Histórias da Minha Origem – Ai-Knanoik Hosi Ha’u Nia Haun”

One of the objectives of this work is to identify the directive illocutionary acts present in the eight legends selected from the book “Histórias da Minha Origem – Ai-knanoik hosi ha’u nia haun”. To this end, two tables were created, referring to direct and indirect directive illocutionary acts. For the research foundation, several scholars were consulted, among whom the following stand out: Ana Cristina Macário Lopes (2018), Isabel Casanova (1996), José P. de Lima (2006). To facilitate our analysis, the work of Armindo Santos (2002), which focuses on “language and culture”, was also consulted to try to understand the cultural and social reasons that lead to the construction of such statements present in the corpus of the work. Based on these studies, we describe and analyze the formulations of directive acts, as well as the discursive strategies that soften or intensify the degree of imposition implied in the performance of these acts present in the aforementioned legends.
