THE ARGUMENTATIVENESS IN TEXTS FROM THE JOURNALISTIC SPHERE: AN ANALYSIS OF READER COMMENTS GENRE

Authors

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present an analysis of the speech genre reader commenting, to online opinion journalism, observing how the writer discursively develops the argumentativeness revealed through some interactional, dialogical and stylistic elements of the statements. Therefore, theoretically and methodologically, we followed the postulates of Bakhtin (2016), Rojo (2005), Rodrigues (2005) and Amossy (2018). The results show that the arguments are built in the interaction between the speaker and his interlocutors, who do not participate face to face in the communication, but play a relevant role in the choices made by the speaker. We highlight the look upon the journalistic sphere as a regulator of the relationships and the argumentative power of the statements, which compose the thematic-discursive horizon of the web news, as well as the dialogical relations with other genres published on the website, which contribute for a value guidance of reader comments.
