Abstract

PINTO, Rosalice. Entrepreneurship competence and its textual-linguistic configuration: the role of interpretative figures of acting. Diacrítica [online]. 2015, vol.29, n.1, pp.233-259. ISSN 0807-8967.

This article is focused on the theoretical perspective of Sociodiscursive Interactionism (Bronckart, 1999, 2008) and its goal is to analyse how entrepreneurship may be textual and linguistically described. It is through the linguistic configuration of the different ways of interpreting entrepreneurial acting according to the various references that one will be able to define what is considered to be competencial figures. In this way, we support the idea that there are groups of specific linguistic configurations which may portray different ways of thinking and interpret entrepreneurship, according with referential diversity. For our analysis we carried out transcriptions of debates of ideas on the theme of entrepreneurship done by 1st year graduate students whom were integrated in Portuguese public and private universities in different faculties. The results indicate that the interpretation of the entrepreneurial acting may present different ‘tonalities' depending on the social activity to which the acting is linked to.

Keywords : entrepreneurship; competence; interpretative figures of acting; Sociodiscursive Interactionism; linguistic categories.
