Several instances of discourse heterogeneity are analyzed through cultural references in the original texts of the following English novels: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bront? (1816-1855), published in 1847; The Mill on the Floss, by George Eliot (1819-1890), published in 1860 and Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens (1812-1870), published between 1860 and 1861. Theoretical support was sought in Kramsch, Bakhtin, Maingueneau, Authier-Revuz, Widdowson and Larsen-Freeman. Activities in English are proposed in the end whereby it can be seen that the questions at issue can be used extensively in the classroom. / Esta pesquisa busca abordar o texto liter?rio em l?ngua inglesa na perspectiva da cultura e da heterogeneidade discursiva, enquanto fonte de elementos facilitadores do processo ensinoaprendizagem de ingl?s l?ngua estrangeira.
