Enunciative polyphony is the research&nbsp;method used to study the discursive strategies that intervene in the preservation of identity&nbsp;of the speaker in its different functions, especially in the development of the alternation of&nbsp;roles. To do this, this article addresses textual productions that combine verbal structures&nbsp;narrated in the singular and plural form of the first person. The results show that the</div><div>speaker’s image intersubjectivity, as the most responsible agent over his own speech, is&nbsp;part of an argumentative construction that needs to be tackled. The pragmatic and communicative resources and strategies developed by image management are also a part of this&nbsp;analysis, focusing especially on the following functions: Ethos, Pathos and Logos.</div> ER -
