This study aims to analyze the interpersonal elements present in blogs and to characterize the way in which the interaction between bloggers and users occurs. Since the advent of the Internet, several genres have started to circulate in the virtual world and it has become necessary to understand their characteristics. The corpus of this study is composed of seven blogs, all of them written in Portuguese. Of these blogs, 251 posts and 5,521 comments posted in the months of January, February and March of 2005, totaling 215,926 words, were analyzed. The Systemic Functional Grammar of Halliday (1985, 1994) and followers (Eggins, 1994, Thompson, 1996, among others) was used to analyze the interpersonal metafunction, so as to characterize the interaction between bloggers and the users that access their blogs, aiming at a better understanding of how this communicational exchange occurs in the virtual universe. The corpus, classified as smallmedium (from 80 to 250 thousand words), according to Corpus Linguistics (Berber Sardinha, 2004), was submitted to the software WordSmith Tools (Scott, 1998) and to the tools it offers, such as Concord and WordList, used to analyze the six items that characterize, due to the frequency with which they are employed, the texts of this virtual interaction between the participants in the digital context: (1) forms of address, (2) pronouns, (3) names/nicknames, (4) emoticons, (5) items that show affection/kindness and (6) abbreviations. Results show that the interaction between bloggers and users is established when the author posts his/her text on-line and a reader accesses it, commenting on its subject. The role assumed by the blogger, therefore, is that of informant, either to give information about his/her own life, or about any other fact or event reported in his/her blog. The user assumes the role of reader/producer, for at the same time that s/he reads the text, s/he can participate in its production. The Internet blogs that compose the corpus of this research are, therefore, texts constructed jointly by bloggers and users
