RESUMO
The purpose of this study is to discuss the writing that proposes itself as conversation in home pages of internet. Our aim is to analyze how the author of a home page builds a self projection by using, for instance, certain marks of enunciation and graphical signs to establish a relationship between this self projection and the reader of the page. The material of this research is composed by 50 (fifty)home pages casually collected at internet. Our method is related to the theories of enunciation and writing and specially to those studies which emphasize dialogy in languageand the relation between writing modality and oral modality. Two main aspects are focused: the first one is the hypothesis of the emergence of a new discoursive gender, established by the activity of writing in homepages. To investigate this probable new gender, we elaborate a comparative study between the writing in homepages and another sort of writing, as the self presentations on the cover of traditionally impressed books, the (auto)biographies,the manuscript letters and the e-mails.We look for the main caracteristics of thisdigital writing, as it is established relating itself to other practices of writing. In our opinion, this newgender is characterized by the phatic function of language, that means, by an activity marked by rithualistic formulas of communication less than by informative ones. Looking for establishing a contact with the reader (characteristical of the phatic function), the author of a home page projects a selfimage (a character) that seems niee, simulating an intimacy to reach bis aim. However, the practice of the phatic function masks the confiscation of the word in this gender of writing: the author has the right to express himself, but only in a determinate way. To build bis self image, the author brings recourses from the writing modality, as certain marks of enunciation and graphical signs. So, the second aspect we focus refers to the mode of enunciation that characterizes the gender of writing in home pages. We investigate the functioning of an enunciative division between the author, the "hero" (the built character) and the reader of the home pages in the study of their linguistic materiality.For that, we consider some aspects of writing modality in home pages, as the emoticons and "giggles" commonly used in digital writing, considering also the question of punctuation (and its relation to prosody) in digital texts, and the one of lexical investigation of the texts in the homepages, as we notice that terms from the technological area are often employed, mainly the ones which are taken from English and incorporated in Portuguese writing with no translation.
