The study analyzes Riobaldo’s discourse, situating the maternal voice in this discourse. To do this, it presents the mode of incorporation of another’s discourse, taking into account the presence of the maternal voice, as well as other feminine voices that emerge in the narrator’s discourse. The analysis is based on the dialogic perspective on discourse, presented by Bakhtin and the Circle. We begin with the principle that Riobaldo’s discourse is dialogic, populated with innumerable voices, like any other discourse. We present the ways that the words of others appear in this discourse, demonstrating the subordination of feminine voices in Riobaldo’s discourse, emphasizing that mother Bigri figures silently, surreptitiously in this discourse. However, we find that in the saga the maternal voice in Riobaldo’s discourse becomes incorporated in a preponderant way.
