SUMMARY:

This work argues that there is an interface between verbal and non-verbal language
in argumentation and in the constitution of meaning in the political debate genre,

uttered by discursive enunciators. Thus, it focuses on the analysis of verbal and non-
verbal elements that act in dialogue with objects of discourse in the aforementioned

genre. For this, the relationship established between the referential processes and
the gestures performed by the candidates in the establishment of referents was
observed, how the non-verbal ones helped in the promotion of textuality alongside
the verbal aspects and how the non-verbal elements acted in the argumentative
process in this genre in relation to referencing. In this sense, textual studies were
approached, based on considerations on Textual Linguistics, trajectory, object of
study, characteristics and precursors; it was referencing, tracing a theoretical course
from the initial studies on reference to its constitution as a phenomenon, highlighting
its study categories; conversational studies were discussed, turning to the
characteristics of Conversation Analysis, its origin, definition and characteristics, as
well as its object of study, conversation; considerations were made about interaction,
an approach to non-verbal elements and their study categories, bringing a specific
section to deal with gestures. Furthermore, the existing relationships between verbal
and non-verbal aspects were discussed, in addition to the interrelationship between
TL and AC. As a theoretical reference, it had the contributions of Fávero and Koch
(2012), Koch (1997), (2004) and (2013), Barros (2017), Marcuschi (2003), (2010) and

Brito (2014), Lima (2003) and (2009), Mondada and Dubois (2014), Koch and Elias
(2010), (2015) and (2016) ), Cavalcante (2000), Oliveira (2007), (2012) and (2021),
Santos, M. (2007), Kerbrat-Orecchioni (2006), Rector and Trinta (1999), among
others. The research follows a qualitative approach, based on Cajueiro (2013),
Bauer, Gaskell and Allum (2015) and Flick (2009). The data were analyzed under the
interpretative, subjective and flexible scope, also with the contributions of Rose
(2015), Myers (2015) and Loizos (2015). The corpus consists of clippings and image
captures of political debates on television on the Band and Record TV networks, from
the second round of the 2014 presidential elections. The selection of these debates
was made considering the smaller number of participants. Transcription into writing
was based on the rules adapted from Preti (2000) and Marcuschi (2003). The
analyzes showed the relationship of congruence existing between the verbal and
non-verbal aspects, the importance of non-verbals in the constitution of objects of
discourse, as well as of the senses, through gestural clues, as well as for the
argumentation based on the established semantic functions. The relevance of the
work is due to the fact that it presents interfaces between verbal and non-verbal
language for the construction of meaning in the televised political debate, with
extension to other areas of knowledge.
