Violência verbal, intertextualidade e referenciação em comentários do Instagram

Abstract

This study seeks to investigate, in a sociocognitive and interactional perspective, comments constructed in posts from the social network Instagram, in order to verify the functions of intertextuality and referencing for the establishment and maintenance of verbal violence as an argumentative strategy. The corpus of the research is composed of twenty comments, taken from four posts from the collective Mídia NINJA. As a theoretical contribution, the research is based mainly in Arendt (2006) and Charaudeau (2011), to plead questions related to political speeches; in Shifman (2014), Chagas (2016, 2017, 2018) and Lima (2019) for questions about a meme discursive genre; in Recuero (2005), Marcuschi (2008), Barton and Lee (2015) and Barros (2016), to treat relative matters to social networks and the comments that are built on them; in Marcuschi (2001, 2008), Koch (2003, 2005, 2008), Mondada and Dubois (2003); Conte, (2003), Francis (2003), Cavalcante (2012), Koch and Elias (2012, 2013), Cavalcante, Custódio Filho and Brito (2014), Cavalcante and Brito (2016), to consolidate notions of text, context and referential categories; in Carvalho (2018), for the notions of strict and broad intertextuality; and in Amossy (2017), Cabral and Lima (2017) and Cabral (2019), for textual and discursive issues of verbal violence. The results showed that verbal violence is established or maintained through referential categories triggered by clues between between posts and contextual questions. It was also possible to verify that verbal violence is used strategically, serving to mark positions in the interactional context in which it was invoked
