RESUMO

The objective of this research is investigating how our non-aphasic subject ? JS ? behaves after undergoing three ischemic vascular cerebral accidents, the way heaccomplishes some linguistic-cognitive activities evolving visual-spatial aspects related to his body, reading and writing, and time checking on clocks. Based on discursive-oriented Neurolinguistics, on Lurian Neuropsychology and on biological bases of Neuroplasticity, we study the processes complexity evolved in the activities performed by JS. We highlight the discursive strategies he used in order to hide his difficulties, as well as the therapeutically functional clinic procedures employed by the investigator/interlocutor when trying to ?(re)guide? JS reflections about the activities performed. This case study focus is, therefore, the relation established between, on one hand, body/space and, on the other hand, the language required for the good functioning of this relation. Aiming that, we consider, as a reference point, the subject that enunciates himself in order to organize the enunciation space, using his own body as a broker of this relation ? which permits the comprehension of his difficulties and the solutions he is able to find. In order to analyze and discuss data, we backed on a qualitative and heuristic methodology, base don the indiciary paradigm, compatible to the theoretical-metodological analisis of ?found data?. The data analyzed shows that JS benefited himself from the longitudinal companion: he?s started to observe his own body, using it to determine special coordinates (like left and right), in order to be able to relate these coordinates to represented objects; regarding writing, he?s also conceived it as writing in fact; regarding time reading on the clock, he restated his own interlocution, mainly when he was not checking his own watch ? i.e., when his own body was not evolved. Regarding interlocution, JS reveals a lot of efficiency in the language game by transferring to his interlocutor the weight of the response ? i.e., not showing the ideary of a dement person
