Abstract

49
This paper analyses the most important texts of Sarmiento (Facundo, Recuerdos de provincia, Campaña en el Ejército Grande) from the point of view of pragmatic poetry based in the speech acts theory, trying to find out what Sarmiento does when he says something. We found signs of it in some context circumstances filtered in the texts and in the deviation from the standar style. These books have a polemic as a pretext (they are answers to some urgent politic circumstanees), are discourses and, also, object of controversy. Sarmiento uses a rhetoric battery to convince but what he does is to create literature.
