Este texto é resultado da apresentação de encerramento feita pela autora no Colloque de Cerisy, na França, sobre Antoine Culioli, ocorrido em 2005.

In this text the author evaluates the different aspects in the theoretical course of the linguist Emile Benveniste from her own personal reading of his work.

The text is based on the affirmation that linguistic argumentation holds no direct relation to rhetoric argumentation. The reflection has its fundament on the theory of argumentation within language currently being developed by Oswald Ducrot and Marion Carel.

In this article Marion Carel presents an argumentative analysis of the word fear, reasoned through the theory of semantic blocks, current state of Argumentative Semantics developed by Carel and Ducrot.

In this study the author develops a semantic-argumentative and polyphonic analysis of “the” and “a/an” from the hypothesis that it is possible to semantically analyze these articles without considering the notions of truth and reference.

The subject of this article is paraphrastic reformulation, non-paraphrastic reformulation and discourse ethos and its traces in academic writing in Spanish. It analyzes the use of connective devices and discourse markers in texts written by specialists (discourse linguists) and texts written by graduation students in this area.

This text is a communication delivered in the Colloquium of the Centre Culturel International de Cerisy-la-Salle, Freud and language, in September 2007, which presents the author’s study on the genesis of the sign, highlighting its activity of symbolization.

This text is the product of a communication delivered in the “Journée d’études Les linguistes et leurs graphiques” at Chicago University Center in October 2007. It is developed some reflections on the notions of scheme, diagram, schematic form, mental gesture, language and gestures.

In this text we resume the debate, this time through a Culiolian optic, on the antithetic sense of primitive words, originally formulated by Sigmund Freud and initially rediscussed in the last century by Émile Benveniste, but by other authors as well.

We test the hypothesis that the implementation of dependencies at the level of discourse has a higher processing cost than the implementation of dependencies within syntax alone. To this end we use event-related potentials to examine the implementation of anaphoric links established between pronouns and non commanding antecedents (discoursebased dependency) and contrast that with the processing of anaphoric links to commanding antecedents (syntax-only dependency). The experimental results obtained show a N400-like effect associated with the formation of the pronoun-non-commanding antecedent dependency. This enhanced negativity for pronouns resolved to non-commanding antecedents supports our hypothesis that discourse-based processes place different computational demands on the comprehension system than syntax-only processes. This kind of evidence is thus consistent with models of pronominal representation whereby antecedents are established by both syntactic and non-syntactic means.

The text describes, illustrates and examines Grice’s Implicature Theory in its pattern form. It aims to demonstrate that such types of inferences are a consequence of the Principle of Cooperation and the maxims which Grice judged of being able to justify the pragmatic complementation of the semantic basis, both sustaining the significant complex of a discursive fragment.
