Descrição
In this work, we aim to analyze metalinguistic resources in digital texts posted by A Capa “newspaper”, a Facebook page which posts multimodal texts, triggering readers’ reflections about daily subjects. Based on Culioli and Normand’s (2005) discussions on language knowledge, we argue that metalanguage is a rational and conscient activity. We assume that it is directly related to identity argument, proposed by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014), since it appears under expressions of definition or classification about language. By analyzing A Capa posts we argue that metalanguage is indeed an important argumentative strategy, which can drive reader to the conclusion intended by the “newspaper without newspaper”.Abstract: In this work, we aim to analyze metalinguistic resources in digital texts posted by A Capa “newspaper”, a Facebook page which posts multimodal texts, triggering readers’ reflections about daily subjects.

Apoiados nas discussões sobre conhecimento linguístico apresentadas por Culioli e Normand (2005), defendemos que a metalinguagem é uma operação racional e consciente sobre a linguagem. Vamos assumir que ela tem relação direta com o argumento de identidade, proposto por Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014), já que lança mão de definições ou classificações relativas à linguagem. A partir da análise de exemplares d’A Capa, argumentamos que, ali, a metalinguagem, de fato, se configura como uma estratégia argumentativa importante, capaz de direcionar o leitor para a conclusão desejada pelo “jornal sem jornal”.
