Abstract

The language is considered by many studious a dynamic game between interlocutors and has a great power of persuasion. Used for people of different class and in different social sphere, it can be said that the language, by means of the argument, always molded the character of the society. It is also therefore that studious have the preoccupation in to analyze it in its dialogic character. The present study, with the objective to identify argumentative values inside the discourse, analyzed an ironic text removed of the electronic portal, Portal Nosso São Paulo, which publishes philosophical thoughts, critical politics, notice and data in general regarding the state of São Paulo. The analyzed text deals with an article which its author, Célio da Silva Franco, express his thoughts on the politicians discourses presented for the electoral announcement in TV of the candidates to the presidency of the Republic of Brazil, in the 2006 elections. For theoretical basement, it was resorted of the concepts of dialogism, heterogeneity and polifony, with bases mainly in Bakhtin and Authier-Revuz. It was evidenced in the analyzed text that the irony is an argumentative resource that demands of the reader an active participation in the process of negotiation and interpretation of the meaning. Of this form, the implicit one does not recover easily in the inversion of the statements, but in the contradiction of the argumentative values taken root to the communities.
