Hyperenunciator: the other of superaddressee?

Abstract

This essay aims to verify if the notion of "hyperenunciator", proposed and developed by Maingueneau (2005a, 2008) in his last works on discourse analysis, would have any correlation with the generic notion of "third" (investigated in its variants) in the theory of Bakhtin’s Circle. The proposition here is to examine an approximation or inspiration to review issues associated to established genres, including the authorship, seeking to establish their mode of operation and the implications as regards the process of authorship. It is noted, in conclusion, that the understanding of superaddressee (as a "third virtual person") goes from an instance bound to the ego, a double of the enunciator, up to an external body, regardless of the enunciator (the third with collective mark), as a set of rules that one must follow for the acceptance of the text (in a community of discourse), extending to a form of inner speech until it, eventually, coincides with the hyperenunciator.
