The main objective is to reflect on the relationship between referencing and opinion. The specific objectives are: a) through our readings, to identify and analyze the opinions in Dilma Rousseff’s and Aécio Neves’ discourses present in articles published by Folha de S. Paulo, thus determining if these opinions are consensual or disputable; b) to analyze and discuss the referencing process of the impeachment referent. The theoretical grounding is based in two theories: a) Referencing, based in third phase Text Linguistics, of which we will mainly rely on the writings of Koch and Cortez (2015), Koch (2009), Mondada and Dubois (2003), Cavalcante (2006, 2009) and Cavalcante and Lima (2013); and b) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), concerning the concept of opinion, for which we will mainly rely on Van Dijk (1980, 1999, 2015). The results obtained by this analysis demonstrate the role of referencing expressions, especially with indirect and encapsulating anaphors, in the construction of the referent, and, consequentially, in situating the enunciators’ opinions regarding the same facts / Esta dissertação está inserida na linha de pesquisa Texto e Discurso nas Modalidades Oral e Escrita e trata dos processos de referenciação e das opiniões em textos opinativos de jornal que tematizam o impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. O objetivo geral é refletir sobre a relação entre referenciação e opinião. Os objetivos específicos são: a) por meio da nossa leitura, identificar e analisar as opiniões contidas nos discursos de Dilma Rousseff e Aécio Neves em artigos da Folha de S. Paulo, determinando se essas opiniões são consensuais ou contestáveis; b) analisar e discutir o processo de referenciação do referente impeachment. A fundamentação teórica é embasada em duas teorias: a) Referenciação, com base na Linguística Textual de terceira fase, sobre a qual nos embasamos primordialmente em Koch e Cortez (2015), Koch (2009), Mondada e Dubois (2003), Cavalcante (2006, 2009) e Cavalcante e Lima (2013); e b) Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), no que concerne o conceito de opinião, em que nos baseamos principalmente em Van Dijk (1980, 1999, 2015). Os resultados obtidos em nossa análise evidenciam o papel das expressões referenciais, notadamente as anáforas indiretas e encapsuladoras, na construção do referente, e, por conseguinte, no apontamento das opiniões dos enunciadores quanto aos mesmos fatos
