ABSTRACT
This article1 1 The article synthesizes results from the study Língua entre linguagens: Argumentação gráfica nos textos da comunicação científica [Langage between Languages: Graphic Argumentation in Scientific Communication Texts] (CNPq, PQ 2007-2010), whose final version was presented as Associate Professorship Thesis in Sciences of Communication at the School of Communication and Arts [Escola de Comunicações e Artes], University of Sao Paulo, 2011. A preliminary version of the analyzed data is included in the article Argumentação gráfica: a modelização diagramática na comunicação da ciência [Graphic Argumentation: Diagrammatic Modeling in the Communication of science], presented at the 2nd Conference Communicating Science, Universidade da Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal, May 2015. investigates the concept of graphical argumentation as an exercise of essayistic prose developed in the process of writing expansion in printed texts. It is understood that by expanding the scope of the word in the context of visual graphics processes such as drawings, photography and infographics, arguments are achievements much more of diagrammatic reasoning than of rhetorical elaboration. Proof of that are graphic arguments, which have become an inalienable modeling from texts of scientific communication, such as the ones produced in the Pesquisa FAPESP journal.
