Abstract
This paper aims to study the pragmatic condition of the lexical units used in fictional discourse: irrealia. In order to do so, a classificationof these units is proposed according to their possible material actualization in relation to reality. Furthermore, a characterization of these units from a linguistic point of view will be put forward, and a contrast
will be established with the lexical units of specialized discourse. Bearing these objectives in mind, a theoretical study about the interrelation between types of knowledge and its discursive actualization in texts is carried out, focusing on the pragmatic characterization of fictional discourse. Accordingly, the work starts by establishing the relationship between common knowledge and specialized knowledge as a theoretical framework in which to include the new category of fictional knowledge. This new category of knowledge is actualized in fictional discourse, where irrealia act as units of lexical representation.
