RESUMO

Dizziness is the symptom pointed as the most frequent in medical literature of the diseases of the vestibular system. The treatment of the vestibular alterations may be by drugs, by surgery or functional. This last one, generally, is up to the speech therapist, responsible for the so-called vestibular rehabilitation. While accompanying a vestibular rehabilitation process, the researcher observed the fact that the patient speaks continuously about his/her symptoms which are they and how are they and his/her speech did not constitute an object of attention or hearing by the speech therapist. So, in order to understand the nature of the relationship between symptom and patient speech the purpose of this study showed up: to analyze the subjects speech with vestibular alterations to identify the symptoms that are present there and to point out the possible relationships of its implication between dizziness and subjectivity. The study justifies itself by allowing circumscribing the dizziness as a manifestation that surpasses the boundaries of what is related to the body. The theoretical and methodological approach used the Discourse Analysis of French line allowed the inclusion of the patients speech, as part of the clinical material on which the therapist is going to act. It was concluded, that the speeches, which were not signified before, begin, according to this approach to be interpreted by the own subject that, while talking about his/her symptoms not only gives them meanings but also act upon them, putting the meanings on circulation. It is understood that this speech circulation may be operative, contributing to a greater efficacy of the so called vestibular rehabilitation
