BERMEO D, William. Ideology and Argumentation : Critical discourse analysis . Prax. filos. [online]. 2008, n.27, pp.149-172. ISSN 0120-4688.

Based on the approach known as the “Critical Analysis of Discourse”, this article brings into scene two of the most relevant aspects of a research carried out between 2003 and 2005 that responded to the Law 2912 issued by the “Ministerio de Educación Nacional de Colombia”. On one hand, this text aims to show that argumentation, either as schematic structure or as organizational array of discourse, is one of the resources that best testifies the mobilization of ideological positionings. For the level of argumentation we find support inToulmin[1993] and Perelman&Olberchts- Tyteca[1989]. For the level of socially shared beliefs, we use the Multidisciplinary Theory of ideology proposed by van Dijk[1999]. On the other hand, the text also aims to point out the way recent Colombian Governments have hiddenly been incorporating neoliberal trasnformations in order to reach, no matter the cost, the labour flexibility of teachers.

Keywords : critical analysis of discourse; ideology; attitudes; argumentative model; argumentative form.
