Abstract
In this work we analyze the discursive features of deideologization that can be identified from a sample of 1500 tweets of followers of party profiles and political representatives. The theoretical framework that we use is the concept of pseudopolitics, which we have proposed in previous works to account for the political discourse developed in social media. The pseudopolitics is based on three interrelated discursive phenomena, which are personalization (in the speech of political representatives), spectacularization (in the media) and deideologization (in the citizen discourse). This article addresses the third of these traits, for which five discursive indicators are proposed according to a pragmatic theoretical model: non-political topics, negative evaluative lexicon, expressive illocuti-vity of attack, and interactive discrepancy and opposition allow to establish different profiles in the followers of the accounts studied.
