This paper analyzes the use of nominal referential expressions in the speech of Bento Santiago, a character from the book ―Dom Casmurro‖, by Machado de Assis, used to characterize characters and situations of the romance. Within the referential context (cf. MONDADA; DUBOIS, 1995, 2003), it is intended to show how the referential expressions may contribute to the subjective orientation of a speech, full of ambiguities and intentions. This analysis is within the Textual Linguistics, which considers the text, above all, a social interaction activity. It is specifically based on referential studies understood as speech objects building. The body of the research is comprised of excerpts from referred work. The conclusive results point to the fact that the choices of the referential expressions made by the narrator Bento Santiago significantly contribute to the full achievement of a speech project that aims at persuading the reader concerning the facts and characters that are part of his life.
