Yhteenveto:This article is aimed to show one aspect of the imaginative capacity of pupils – the meeting with the discourse of the other – through the representation of speech. After reminding the ambivalent value of dialogue with mimesis and inventio, which makes it a traditional element of fiction, the author analyses how pupils in 6e (first year of lower secondary education) use dialogue to invent a story. Dialogue is first recognised as the prime material of fiction insofar as a foreign “I” and “You” is projected outside the “I” of enunciation. This is how the first meeting with otherness is operated.Drafts are useful to understand what enunciative and linguistic problems pupils always face to combine the narrator’s thought with the characters’ thoughts: from simple juxtaposition that mistakes two distinct “I” to the polyphonic meeting of free indirect speech that marks the irruption of the discourse of the other. Therefore reported speech is regarded as the knot of the relation between oneself and the others in fiction writing at school.
