Summary/Abstract: Television implies a specific communication, a situational framework, it offers us an image of the enunciator, of the recipient and even an image of a relationship that is proposed in and through discourse. The recorded and analysed corpus is dialogical and conversational at the same time, because it involves several enunciators but also several speakers. The debate is controversial but also involves cooperation, at some points. Emphasis is placed on polemical strategies, on divergences between the points of view that involve rejecting and attacking the other's arguments.
