Resum

L'objectiu d'aquest article és mostrar el component argumentatiu en el discurs dels professors. Això es fa sobre la base d'una anàlisi de les estratègies argumentatives utilitzades pels professors durant la primera classe d'un curs universitari per a augmentar l'eficiència del seu discurs. L'anàlisi del corpus estudiat mostra que en una sessió així els professors usen estratègies argumentatives per controlar la distància social que els separa dels estudiants. En fer-ho, fan un doble moviment, un de distanciament i un altre d'aproximació, amb l'objectiu d'assolir un equilibri que els permeti consolidar la seva autoritat als ulls dels estudiants i, al mateix temps, presentar una imatge accessible i ben disposada cap a ells. © 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
