K1 verbo “go” K1 discurso K1 estilo indirecto K1 cuotativo K1 narrativo K1 performativo AB This paper examines the discourse dimensions of “go.” When used as a quotative, “go”functions in three capacities in introducing sounds, gestures, and speech. A world widephenomenon, using “go” to introduce speech has become prominent in the last fifty years,but is understood by almost all native English speakers. Using “go” to indicate sound,gestures, and speech is certainly an informal register and is restricted to sentential con-straints of location and even tense. Examples from conversation, song lyrics, written texts,and television transcripts reveal the prominence of the discourse aspect of “go” to marksounds, gestures and speech.
