Elementos para uma abordagem interacionista das relações de discurso

Abstract

Articulating theoretical contributions from authors who conceive language and context in an interactionist perspective, this paper presents elements for an approach to the role of discourse relations and their marks in the construction of identity images or in the dramaturgical dimension of discourse. This approach is based on the hypothesis that the speaker establishes discourse relations in order to anticipate possible objections of the other (interlocutor or third party) about the offensive nature of this intervention. Establishing these relationships, the speaker tries to make the other do not evaluate this intervention as an attack on his face oran invasion of his territory. In order to verify the pertinence of this hypothesis, we propose the study of the role of the argument and counter-argument relations marked respectively by the connectors porque[because] and mas[but] in the dramaturgical dimension of an electoral debate.
