This paper presents an analysis of the construction of polemics generated by an opinion article published on a blog and spread by the social network , Facebook, and comments criticizing the blogger positioning. Focusing on the dissension on the Web , the paper analyzes the establishment of polemics and conflicting verbal interactions on social networks especially linguistic manifestations of verbal aggression by users , highlighting their role in the argumentative construction of a discourse that aims to criticize the post. The theoretical framework that supports the analysis includes the study of Polemics (Amossy, 2011 and 2014) in confluence with research on verbal aggression (Brown & Levinson, [ 1978 ] 1999; Locher & Watts, 2008; Culpeper, 2008; Bousfield, 2008; ) , always observing the argumentative role of language marks.Downloads
