SUMMARY:

This dissertation proposes a linguistic analysis of the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on the intertextuality between its fragments and the Old Testament. Although the Bible is a multifaceted work, this research concentrates on identifying, describing, analyzing, and interpreting the argumentative phenomena, concerning the point of view (POV) and argumentative orientation (ArgO), considering the theory of Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA) by Jean-Michel Adam (2011). Thus, the research is qualitative with an interpretivist approach, following the inductive method and based on the theoretical postulates of Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA) with Adam (2011), Rodrigues, Passeggi, and Silva Neto (2010, 2014), Rodrigues (2020), and Passeggi et al. (2010), in dialogue with enunciative linguistic theories such as Rabatel (2016) and his concept of Prophetic Function (2019), as well as the concept of intertextuality by Beaugrande & Dressler (1981). The dissertation seeks to understand the argumentation in the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on the role of the intertextuality in argumentative orientation. Our general objective is to demonstrate how the intertextuality in the Messianic prophecies found in the Gospel of Matthew, which refer to the divine prophecies made in the Old Testament by prophets inspired by God, influences the production of meaning and argumentative orientation in the text. The main focus is on intertextuality and its argumentative role. The research aims to significantly contribute to linguistic studies, offering a new perspective on a crucial source for the theological, historical, and literary understanding of the life and teachings of Jesus. The adopted approach promises to shed light on aspects of discourse that may have been overlooked in more traditional interpretations. Thus, the dissertation seeks to expand the understanding of how books of the Bible can be analyzed in light of linguistic theories, offering a new angle of interpretation that enriches the comprehension of the biblical text. Concluding our analyses, we understand that by referencing the divine prophecies of the Old Testament, Matthew contextualizes his own arguments and interpretations of the prophecies within a narrative in which he guides the reader to understand that Jesus is the fulfillment of these prophecies. The use of intertextuality in the Gospel of Matthew helps create a continuity between the Old and New Testaments, and through it, Matthew shows that the story of Jesus is an extension and fulfillment of the promises made by God through the prophets. This validates Jesus' mission and demonstrates the consistency and faithfulness of God to His promises.
