Abstract

Based on the concepts of Bakhtin and his Circle, we defend the thesis that hypertextuality is a kind of dialogic relation between utterances, both in digital and printed media. Considering the constraints of each media and assuming that the Internet holds a set of spheres that are overlapped by the digital sphere, we have selected reports of scientific divulgation of Folha de S. Paulo and Folha Online in the period between 2000 to 2008, to compose the corpus of the research. The theoretical and methodological model adopted was inspired by the metalinguistic analysis formulated by Bakhtin, considering the following steps: first, a deep socio-historical contextualization of the utterances, the description and analysis of the constitutive elements of the genres thematic content, compositional form and style - and the observation of the characteristics of each media. The analysis revealed not only the axiological-semantic effects found in the dialogical hypertextual relations between utterances, but also led us to refine the plans and mechanisms of remission in which such relations occur. The remissive nodes, which may be verbal or verbovisual, assist in the formation of a dialogical hypertextual complex within an utterance and its relationship with external utterances, favoring the creation of different thematic content in each media. Regarding the genre, we understand that its conclusibility also differs according to the dialogical relations established in printed or online newspaper. While FSP allows more extensive reports consisted of fragmented utterances or even a whole set of statements, either verbal or verbovisual, the statements conveyed in FO are more autonomous, not generating the same dialogical hypertextual relations.
