Abstract
This paper is an attempt to examine the problem of factual and fictive acts in Postmodernism from a formal (linguistic) perspective. A critical analysis and discussion of "literary" and "non-literary" utterances is presented, dealing with theories, arguments and counter-arguments espoused by scholars such as the Russian Formalists, T. Todorov, N. Frye, J.R. Searle, N.W. Visser, B. Hernstein Smith, and B. Foley, among others.
