Revisited colloquialism

Abstract

We analyze the term “colloquialism” (also called conversationalism or colloquial poetry) from Reinhart Koselleck ‘s methodology of semantics of concepts. Through it, we describe the distinct poetics, stylistic ideas, stylistic possibilities and procedures that compose its space of experience. Moreover, we specially explore the horizon of expectation of concept, in other words, the way in which, given a change in point of view, the colloquialism renews its strength by becoming in the model of expression of a given identity discourse, of remembrance and historical reflection or of moral imagination.
