Abstract This article presents the results of the critical discourse analysis applied to national government delegates and the FARC, during the installment of the negotiation table of peace dialogues in Oslo (Norway, 2012), with the purpose of recognizing the linguistic resources and discursive strategies employed by the speakers, in order to determine the implicit significance in the symbolic universe created by these hegemonic social actors. The methodology was divided into two phases: a descriptive and explorative phase and an analytical phase. In the first one, a corpus was selected and explored using the NVivo 10 software. In the second phase, the linguistic resources that contributed to the building of discursive strategies were analyzed and interpreted. The results prove the recurring use of metaphors to conceptualize peace, economy, the FARC, the government, Colombia, among others; as well as the use of quantifiers in order to build legitimation strategies for the violent actions of the FARC.

Keywords : Critical discouse analysis; strategies; resources; language.
