RESUMO: The most recent studies in the field of Textual Linguistics (TL) have maintained an intrinsic dialogue between textual aspects and argumentation, especially regarding referencing. In this context, considering the importance of dialogue between theoretical aspects for understanding and interpreting texts, as well as for understanding the statements produced, we investigated the interface between referencing and argumentation, seeking to understand how this relationship is established in the field of TL and what are the implications of this dialogue on the argumentative biases of the texts. Thus, the desire to analyze, using referential processes, the object of vaccine discourse and the facts linked to it emerged, discussing, based on the polemical modality, how the argumentative directions around this entity were constructed. Our corpus of analysis consists of tweets published on Congressman Osmar Terra's page, which have as their central reference issues related to the vaccination process against Covid-19 and present anti-vaccine speeches. We collected tweets posted on the parliamentarian's social network over the course of a year. We then carried out the selection for the research, focusing on tweets published in the months of April and May 2022, in addition to January and February 2023, totaling 40 tweets analyzed. This choice was based on the observation of a regularity of referents related to the main issue, in addition to the possibility of analyzing different presidential periods. The work constitutes an exploratory study, with characteristics of qualitative research and a deductive method, and allows us to observe that argumentative marks are manifested through referential processes, such as nominal forms, referential introductions and indirect anaphora. In this way, we investigate referential processes and analyze how objects of discourse are (re)categorized according to the producer's project of saying, revealing, through linguistic choices, the controversial modality. We are based on the theoretical conceptions of Amossy (2017) to understand the notion of argumentation in speeches, as well as the peculiarities of the polemical modality. Expanding the view between argumentation and TL, we follow the theoretical studies of the PROTEXTO group, discussed by Cavalcante and other researchers (CAVALCANTE et all., 2020; 2022). To understand text as a process that is constituted in discourse, we adopted the concepts of Koch (2015a), Fávero and Koch (1988), among other authors, and the studies of Mondada and Dubois (2015), Cavalcante; Custodio Filho; Brito (2014), Cavalcante (2014), Koch (2015b), among other contributions that highlight the importance of understanding referencing as a discursive activity. The study indicates that referential processes are strategic ways of conducting the text's argumentative bias, contributing to the enunciator's purpose of saying. Furthermore, through textual strategies, the features of the polemical modality are delimited, making it possible to observe the dichotomization of theses, the disqualification of the opponent and social polarization.
