Dialogical Approach to Argumentation and Polyphony, Evidential Points of View and Allusive Points of View

In the framework of the Dialogical Approach to Argumentation and Polyphony, this paper analyzes evidential and allusive points of view. While both reveal the dialogical character of all enunciation, their presence determines different ways of inscribing the utterance in the discursive chain, which in tum affects the construction of meaning and (inter)subjectivity. In fact, while the evidential points of view involve the identification of a previous discourse frame that is shown as the cause of the enunciation and that explains the subjective positioning of response manifested in the utterance, the allusive ones evoke, through different types of procedures, "other" discourses that must be recognized in the interdiscourse as part of the "discursive memory" and, in so doing, not only indicate a certain subjective positioning but also weave ties of intersubjective complicity.
