The significance as a theme in literature

Abstract

This article aims to discuss issues related to the meaning of linguistic forms in literary works. To this end, we discuss how this occurs in a stretch of Cem anos de solidão by Gabriel García Márquez and the tale Famigerado by Guimarães Rosa. The chosen texts serve as a starting point for discussing pragmatic aspects involved in significance as the meaning is established in the interaction. The text of Guimarães Rosa is useful to itself in order to reflect on the word concept of phármakon. The purpose is to show that the word is not just a raw material of literary work, but also its theme, particularly with regard to questions of a semantic nature. The choice in treating meaning in literature is justified by the high polysemous load of the literary text and the fact that it often questions the word and its meaning. The question we intend to answer is: How do literary texts thematize significance? The theoretical input focused on Ogden and Richards, and Fedro platonic, particularly in hisrereading made by Derrida on A farmácia de Platão. The results showed that the double sense of the words is hihh the theme category of work.
