Discourse Memory and Didactic Discourse

Summary/Abstract: Communication of all types always requires the interlocutor’s memory. In order to achieve the established objectives, the speaker refers to the context – linguistic and extra-linguistic reality, general knowledge, cultural particularities, etc. – symbolically constituted as notions in the memory of the interlocutor. Didactic discourse is a type of discourse that is gradually developed as intra-textual memory. Taking into consideration these facts, we propose a linguistic and pragmatic investigation of some corpus and/or sub-corpus of didactic text/discourse which reveals the fact that reference to previous statements is made by means of specific formulations. Thus, processes such as anaphora, textual connectors, deictic indices, etc., in other words, textual cohesion are closely related to the pupil’s discursive memory. Therefore, analyzing the way discursive memory functions in educational context emphasizes the fact that the students are gradually associating the knowledge previously acquired with new skills and contents.
