Abstract
Prague Journal of English Studies Volume 2, No. 1, 2013 ISSN: 1804-8722 in Reflexive Construals of Identity in Selected Fiction Texts1 Klára Matuchová is paper discusses the construals of personal/social identity as they appear in the communicative transactions of three protagonists of novels. In my use of the term, reflexive construal represents both the act of shaping and interpreting identity while it is still in progress within an ongoing communicative event. Herein, denotational/ referential and interactional success (see Agha 2007) are two discrete phenomena whose co-occurrence is realised through the dynamism of differing degrees of referential appropriateness and semiotic effectiveness that are in a relation of reciprocal proportion. I attempt to outline a semiotically mediated model of social role inhabitance, focusing on two types of dialogue as the key linguistic factor correlating with the occurrence of varieties of social personae in the process of identity negotiation. ese varieties are the representations of the protagonists' potential social authenticities within the framework of fictional texts. My data seem to suggest that communicative dynamism in its textually extended pattern is maintained by the interdependence between the dialogue organisation and message structure. Alteration to the typical pattern of the former will result
