Dialogues at the scholarly argumentative text: an analysis of consensual and polemical enunciates

Abstract

This paper examines two dialogical categories of the scholarly argumentative text: consensual one (common sense enunciates) and polemical one (opposed to common sense contents). Three dialogical matrices are investigated: the dialogue between subject-producer and other social voices, and text-proposal, and interlocutor-examiner. These dialogues insert a set of textual and discursive properties which are consensual category manifestations or polemical ones in accordance with the argumentative arrangement of text. Among the dialogical properties are wholeness enunciates, argumentative-descriptive enunciates, strict logical reasoning, breakage of text-proposal, interrogative-rhetoric enunciates and paraphrases from the text-proposal.
