Description
Summary:The studies on Semantics as a discipline have their mark in the publication, by Michel Bréal, article Les lois intellectuelles du langage: fragment de sémantique, in 1883. Since then, many theorists have elaborated their research to develop a semantics whose approaches explore different facets of the meaning of language. One of these surveys is the Semantic Linguistics, or Argumentative Semantics, whose principle that guides are that argument, or sense, is entered in the language. Faced with this scenario, this paper aims to present a panorama on the foundations of The Theory of Argumentation in Language, developed by Oswald Ducrot and collaborators, and discuss its main concepts and its epistemological basis. For this, we revisited the main works of the semanticist in order to offer a rereading on the concepts defended by the author, as well as to develop the conception of language from which the TAL investigates the meaning. Thus, this article is characterized as a bibliographical review and is presented as an introduction to the Theory of Argumentation in Language.
