The speaker, the linguist and  an antropology in the  language:  a tribute to Professor Valdir do Nascimento Flores

This dossier intends to gather texts which dialogue directly with the scientific production of Professor Valdir do Nascimento Flores, mainly with the conception of Enunciation Anthropology (planned in Flores, 2015;Flores, 2019) and the linguistics as an anthropologic reflection (Flores, 2019).  The speaker, the linguist and an anthropology in the language intends thus to gather articles from researchers who kept interlocution and research with the professor, throughout his university career, especially with his production about an “implicit anthropology, which is accessed through the experience the speaker has in his condition, which I name Homo loquens.”(Flores, 2019, p.33).   In his book “Problemas gerais de linguística”, the author situates the study of linguistics as anthropologic reflection, starting from problems, which are: “a) the relations between thinking and language and mind and brain, among others; b) the differences between men and animals, bias from where is introduced the discussion over the differences  about human language and animal “language”; c) the differences and similarities of the languages of the world, perspective which gives way to inquiries around the universal aspects axis versus particular aspects; d) the innate properties in opposition to those acquired, point of view from which old quarrels are relocated (nature versus culture, phylogenesis versus ontogenesis, etc)” (2019, p.45). Besides these problems, the professor, in the last chapter of his work, adds three other problems, namely, the problem of the linguistic sign, the problem of the language and the other semiological systems and the problem in the relations between form and meaning. This way opened the range of epistemological, conceptual and heuristic problems, we expect articles with theoretical or theoretical-analytical nature about an anthropological reflection which fits to produce an “other’’ linguistics, in the words of Flores (2019, p.33). We emphasize, at last, the contributions of the referred author in the increasing academic production of enunciation studies in Brazil.  

It will be only accepted articles written by PhD in Linguistics and related research fields (Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Arts, History, Speech Therapy, Literature)
