Voice as an object of an anthropology of enunciation

Abstract

This text outlines an approach to the voice in language studies, especially within an anthropology of language. The study defines enunciation as a function that fundamentally characterizes men in their condition of homo loquens. Aiming to study this function, the idea of an anthropology of enunciation is presented in its general aspects. Such anthropology studies the knowledge about men that comes from their enunciation. Therefore, we defend a theoretical perspective that deals with the effects of the presence of language in men. Finally, we illustrate the proposal with an analysis of comments made about the voice of Brazilian singers.
