Abstract

In this work we aim to identify and describe the markers of utterance responsibility in academic texts through modality and mediative. The theoretical and methodological approach we follow is based on textual analysis of discourses postulates according to Adam (2011). Our theoretical background is also based on Rabatel (2009) studies on the utterance responsibility; Campos (2004) and Castilho & Castilho (2002) on the category of modalities, Guentchèva (1994) regarding the meditative category, and Neves (2012), which promotes a discussion that articulates both categories. The analysis showed that speakers-utterers (S1/U1) base their points of view on the second utterer's points of view (U2). We also observed that S1/U1 expressed different degrees of engagement in relation to the information reported, assuming or imputing the utterance responsibility
