| description | This paper studies the fictional orality in Chabela’s direct speech, a character in Hurricane Season (2017), by Fernanda Melchor, and how it contributes to the configuration of the character’s identity. To this end, we focus on Chapter V of the novel, which is based on dialogues between Chabela and Norma. We have considered several studies on spoken colloquial Spanish (Briz Gómez; Gaviño Rodríguez; Narbona Jiménez), in order to present a classification of colloquial strategies employed by Chabela, in the syntactic, lexical-semantic, and pragmatic-contextual levels of language. It is concluded that a more or less stable set of colloquial elements is employed for the configuration of the character. Finally, based upon the concept of identity proposed by Charles Taylor, we conclude that Chabela’s identity has been built on her particular use of the language, at the same time it is reflected in it. |

En este trabajo se analiza la oralidad fingida en el discurso directo del personaje de Chabela en Temporada de huracanes (2017), de Fernanda Melchor, y su relación con la identidad del personaje. Para esto, tomamos el capítulo V de la novela, en donde abundan los diálogos entre Chabela y Norma. Partimos de estudios sobre el español coloquial (Briz Gómez; Gaviño Rodríguez; Narbona Jiménez) y clasificamos las estrategias empleadas en el lenguaje coloquial de Chabela en tres niveles de la lengua: sintáctico, léxico-semántico y pragmático-contextual. Concluimos que se emplea un conjunto de elementos coloquiales más o menos estable para la configuración del personaje y, con base en el concepto de identidad propuesto por Charles Taylor, que la identidad de Chabela se ha construido en su uso particular de la lengua, al mismo tiempo que se refleja en este.
