Particularly, it analyses the introductory segment of two confronting discourses in the editorial page of some Brazilian newspapers, attempting to point out the discursive operations that characterize these individual discourses as such Itfurthers discusses the operations performed by the speakers, identifying the choices in the syntatical and semantical levels of the propositions that configure this part of the argumentative structure in which the subjective relation establishes itself and the game of argumentation is sketched out
