Constituent discourses (MAINGUENEAU & COSSUTTA, 1995) are those that occupy the role of founders and seat of authority for other discourses. As they do not support themselves in others, they must manage their own emergency conditions. When we consider this, the research problem falls within the scope of the enunciative-discursive process that enables the “self-foundation” of a constituent discourse. From this problem, some concepts become basic, namely, the legitimating source, the Absolute and the paratopia. We also integrate the concept of enunciative responsibility, considering that this process problematizes the responsibility for saying. However, as the totality of the constituent discourses would make the study comprehensive, we delimited it to the religious discourse. For this reason, we defined as the research theme: “the study of the enunciative-discursive process of legitimation of doctrines emerging from the field of religious discourse”. For that, we constituted the corpus based on founding discourses of doctrines in the religious discursive field, namely, “O livro de Mórmon”, “O livro dos Espíritos” and “A Verdade da Vida”. We defined as research objectives: to examine the enunciative responsibility and its relationship with the discursive process of legitimation of doctrines emerging from the religious discursive field; identify the legitimation process in the emergence of these doctrines; relate the notion of paratopia with that of enunciative responsibility; to elaborate an analytical device to deal with the paratopic enunciation of the religious discourse; to verify the interdiscursive space in the process of emergence of doctrines. We noticed how the instituting religious discourse produces scenography that removes the author from the responsibility for the discourse, at the same time that it engenders a legitimizing enunciative source to whom the responsibility for saying is attributed. With this, it gives authority to the discourse, by characterizing it as paratopic
