%X A critical pragmatics finds good grounding in Bakhtin and Voloshinov¡¯s theory of the Utterance in Marxism and the Philosophy of Language (1929). In this essay I explore and extend the notion of ¡®reaccenting¡¯ with that of ¡®retexting¡¯ and call attention to the role of textualities in the performance and deformance of written language. Critical pragmatic moves beyond stylistics and proposes a more critical linguistic approach to literary texts. I use critical pragmatics informed by Bakhtin¡¯s theory of the utterance to read Langston Hughes¡¯s dialogic lyrics in Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951) and poetic retexting as a literate and critical practice.
