Abstract

This paper discusses the voice, a subject that is not common and therefore not considered in the language field. Thereunto, this work reflects on the construction of this object in distinct theoretical perspectives, from distinct fields. The goal of reflecting on different conceptions of voice is to elucidate the notion of language in each of them. Finally, considering a change of viewpoint about language, a proposal of historical anthropology of voice is presented, based on the project of an historical anthropology of language, proposed by Meschonnic (2009).
