Abstract

In this study, we analyze how the phenomenon of enunciative responsibility occurs in a perfect score essay from the National High School Exam (ENEM), which represents a prototypical production of the exam. Additionally, we investigate the occurrence of polyphony in this genre of textual discourse. The theory that underlies this research is Textual Discourse Analysis, a theoretical framework developed by Adam (2011) in which text and discourse are seen from a new perspective. In addition to this theoretical assumption, the study is also grounded in authors of dialogism, such as Bakhtin (2016), and enunciative authors, like Passeggi et al. (2010), among others. Methodologically, the study has a qualitative approach, a deductive method, and the analysis is carried out through an interpretative method. The corpus collection process was conducted by accessing the perfect score essays available on the G1 portal. The results demonstrate that the first-person speaker/enunciator, the candidate, uses different linguistic modalities to demonstrate engagement with the stated ideas, thereby assuming enunciative responsibility. Furthermore, other voices are employed as argumentative mechanisms to solidify arguments, thus revealing an enunciative procedure known as the use of an argument from authority.
