Abstract

In this work, the aim is to investigate the relationships between the situation of action and the joint construction of the discourse by the interlocutors. To achieve this goal, I conduct a comparative study of two very different discourses: the chronicle Conversinha mineira, by Fernando Sabino, and the election debate between Dilma Rousseff and Aécio Neves, in the second round of the presidential campaign of 2014. To support the analysis, I use basically two concepts developed by Roulet: the negotiation process and interactional frame. The study of each speech showed that the author and the television channel have control of the interaction and make use of the strategy of creating interactions characterized by controversial and aggressive features or by mutual lack of comprehension of the interlocutors. Based on these elements, they can produce very attractive interactions for the reader and for the viewer.

Keywords: situational dimension, textual articulation, power.
