| Summary: | In this article it is analyzed the functioning of vocative. Therefore, its functioning is considered regarding the configuration of enunciative scene. The analysis allows us to show how vocative, while functioning as means of projection of speaker’s social place, works from a third person position (a HE/SHE position). According to analytical procedures carried out, we came to the conclusion that the constitution of a relationship between “I” (first person) and “YOU” (second person) is produced upon a relationship between “I” and “HE/SHE” (third person). This way, the analysis supports the position according to which it is possible to assert that the constitution of meaning is historical and not dialogical.
