This study deals with the investigation of the semantic-argumentative use of the lexical items já (already) and agora (now), in different types of texts and in the spoken and written modalities of language. It also intends to investigate what are the values, the conditions of use and functions of the items under study, as argumentative connectors; observe if there is any preference in the use of these items in the different language modalities and types of text and what justifies this; describe the argumentative leads established by the use of já and agora ; identify the specificity of use of each connector, as well as collate the use of the items studied in the written and spoken modalities between themselves, along withthe item mas (but). In this investigation, we understand language as a process of interaction and in this perspective the approach given to the connectors will not point only to their grammatical function, but and above all, their semantic-argumentative functions shall be observed. This research is, on the one hand of quantitative nature, with 11 tables that reveal various facts concerning the use of the items under focus and on the other hand of a descriptive-analytical nature. In order to carry out our study, we went in quest of contributions from the study of texts and of discourse concerning the functioning of the language in its different verbal interactive situations; we have as our fundamental basis the theoretical constructs of Textual Language and of Argumentative Semantics. The corpus of this study is made up of 66 written texts from different sources and 30 oral enquiries from the NURC, PEUL Projects and Mineirês (the colloquial language of the people of the State of Minas Gerais). For the analysis of the items já and agora we used the following criteria: semantic-argumentative, syntactic and phonological. In this research it was verified that the items under study já and agora may function as adverbs of time, as registered in the traditional grammars and various studies, and they may also give way to ideas of opposition such as contrajunction connectors; they may introduce a new topic in the sequence they begin, as discursive operators that modify the topic, and may still, establish interaction in the dialogue as conversational markers. The justification that is presented for this study is the fact that the other studies already existent concerning items that give way to the contrajunction are focused mainly in the connector but , and in general in written texts. It is expected that this study may extend the textual-discursive studies. It is still pointed out that the functions of contrajunction connector, discursive topic change operator and conversational marker of the items under focus studied in this research, would be the result of a grammaticalization process.
