Abstract

How to understand the complexity of argumentative online interactions when there is a diversity of points of view that do not interact according to normativity patterns? Given the need to research how collectives deliberate and argue in online interactions and taking the idea of uncommon ground as a starting point, here I will try to demonstrate the presence of a plurality of speech acts that, together with multiple participants and multiple locations, constitute the multiple positions in online polylogues, more precisely those that take place on X (formerly Twitter).
