Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil revealed the polarization of political, economic and cultural points of view. Expressions like: “Stay at home”; “Wear a mask”; “Just a little grip” proved to be multifaceted and aroused different senses. In this context, this article aims to describe the internal argumentation and the external argumentation of full words and explain how the updating of a determined argumentative chain guides the constitution of the meaning of the discourse. The theoretical foundation that guides the analyzes is based on the principle that “Argumentation is in the language” proposed and developed since the 1960s by Oswald Ducrot and collaborators under the name of Argumentative Semantics (SA), Linguistic Semantics or Theory of Argumentation in Language (SUCH). The application of the simulation method allows observing, describing and explaining the constitution of the selected speech’s meaning. The results obtained show that there are argumentative movements that determine, for example, the death sentence.
