From the analysis ofthe demonstrative pronouns of spoken POrWguese, this work proposes that the demonstrative pronouns, fimctioning either as determiners ar as noun phrases as a whole, constitute a privileged place ofcontact that the discourse event keeps with its specific exterior or with its interdiscoursive domain.
