In this doctoral thesis, we investigate how intertextuality and referencing, which serve to express positions in conflicting verbal-image interactions, influence the construction of ethos and the demonstration of an emotional state in interactants. To do this, we are based on the studies of Amossy (2008, 2011, 2017, 2018) and Cabral (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020), to ask questions related to argumentation in the polemical modality; Amossy (2018, 2016, 2011), Cabral (2020), Maingueneau (2016), Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca ([1970] 2014), with respect to the construction of ethos; Plantin (2010) and Cabral (2020, 2022) to investigate the issue of emotions in discourse from the perspective of the rationality of emotions, in an interface with Paveau (2021); Recuero, Bastos and Zago (2018), Barton and Lee (2015), and Santaella and Lemos (2010), for subjects related to the analysis of digital discourse, in addition to studies by Koch and Elias (2016), Cavalcante and others (2020, 2022), Carvalho (2018) and Matos (2018), to discuss notions of text, referential categories and strict and broad intertextualities. As a hypothesis, we have that these analytical categories of Textual Linguistics (TL) - intertextuality and referencing - can reveal argumentative strategies present in texts of a controversial nature, such as verbal violence and emotions in discourse, in addition to contributing to a marking argumentative distance in relation to the other and for the construction of ethos in the argumentation. Based on this hypothesis, we established the following research questions: 1) How do intertextuality and referencing establish and maintain controversial interaction on the social network Twitter?; 2) How do textual strategies that serve to express positions in conflictual verbal interactions influence the construction of ethos and the demonstration of an emotional state? The general objective of this research intends to establish a theoretical-methodological interface between TL and the Theory of Argumentation in Discourse (TAD), in order to explain how the analysis of argumentation in discourse can use textual phenomena to study the argumentative modality of controversy, as well as in the construction of an image of the speaker (ethos) and in the triggering of emotions in environments of controversial interactions. Thus, the specific objectives were: 1) Verify how intertextuality and referencing trigger verbal-imagery violence strategies, which aim to disqualify and devalue the other; 2) Analyze how textual strategies enable the construction of an ethos and the demonstration of an emotional state in interactants. As research analysis data, we listed sixteen comments motivated by a post (tweet) on the social network Twitter: “Federal Government announces 100% Brazilian vaccine project”, taken from the profile of the then President of the Republic, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, on 28 December March 2022. The analysis of the research data shows that referencing and intertextuality are textual criteria that can be used to analyze argumentativeness in interactions that participate in the controversial debate and, in addition, enable the projection of a certain emotion that will contribute to the construction of ethos, revealing themselves as argumentative strategies to intensify an argument.
