RESUMO
The aim of this study is to discuss the linguistic features of a phenomenon which hasn t received much attention from Neuropsychology and Neurolinguistics: the recurring utterance. Such phenomenon has been defined as the emission of stereotyped utterances which can be recognized as lexical or non lexical forms. According to neuropsychological studies on this phenomenon - which are few - the recurring utterance would be defined as the only possibility of oral production by the individuals called "monophasic", this production been characterized by different perceivable prosodic contours. However, this characteristic is not considered as a way of producing signification/meaning: it is considered, instead, unconscious, mechanical and involuntary. The definition born of neuropsychological studies is now contested because it disables the questioning about the interaction of the various processes (linguistic and non-linguistic) that take part dynamically and solidarily in the way language works, not only in a pathological context but also in "normal" contexts. Moreover, this definition does not allow a reflection on linguistic-cognitive aspects involved in the functioning of language. Thus, this study describes and postulates the linguistic features of recurring utterance from the perspective of enunciation taking into account a long-term analysis of data collected from the individual CF, which is a member and participates in the activities of Centro de Convivência de Afásicos (CCA) in Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem (IEL), at UNICAMP. This work tries to confirm the expectation that conditions of enunciation modify the quality of recurring utterance production
