Resumen
This paper aims to analyze the functioning of controversial argumentation in excerpts from thetelevised pre-election debate held by the broadcaster Band,within the framework of the 2018 presidential race. Two excerpts from the debate involving presidential candidates and the themes of abortion and privileges with public money were analyzed. This research was theoretically grounded on the fields of rhetoric, argumentation, and discourse studies, particularly in the works of Plantin (2008), Amossy (2017), and Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014). It was found that controversial argumentation can occur based on logos and ethos, in the first sequence analyzed; but it can also occur based on pathos and the disqualification of the opponent, according to the second analyzed sequence.
