Sumario:This work aims on analyzing the argumentative and metadiscursive functions of the discourse marker ‘pero’ in the ELE Brazilian students oral narratives. It’s about a research which fits into the field of Pragmatics or Pragmagramatics and, specifically, it’s based on previous studies carried out by authors like Gaudin-Fallegger (2002), Pons Bordería (1998), Villa (1993), Garrido Rodríguez (2004), Portolés Lázaro (1999), Gómez (1998), Domínguez García (2007), among others. The corpus we used to carry out this work is made up of a representative sample of 47 oral narratives from ELE Brazilian students, all in the level B2. The results of this research suggest that, in the ELE Brazilian students oral narratives, the discourse marker ‘pero’ has the particularity of acting in the scope of two activities, ir means it can indicated the anti-oriented nature of the acts that it links (argumentative function) and, at the same time, it works as a trace of speech regulation (metadiscursive function).
