Sumario:The study of the use of punctuation signs in the construction of textual meanings proposed here reflects upon the interference of those resources in marking of enunciative postures in journalistic texts. Observations made from the analysed corpus show that some punctuation marks, used in specific circumstances, do not function in relation to the syntactic structure of the text. As of this acknowledgement, the role that determined punctuation resources would play in a textual statement began to be investigated, once that their syntactic function would be non-existent. The research mostly bases itself in the studies of Catach (1994), Junkes (2002) and Dahlet (2006). The study characterizes itself as qualitative research based on the corpus analysis, that’s built out of fragments of journalistic texts collected from digital outlets. The results show the effective use of punctuation signing discursive postures on fragments, in which the purely syntactic aspects would not be effective or productive.
