- The following paper is a critical analysis of the discourse structures extracted from a corpus of ten open letters addressed online to Nicolas Maduro, current president of Venezuela, published between 2015 and 2017. The correspondents include common citizens, prominent political and financial figures, and show business celebrities. Following postulates proposed by Fairclough ([1989] 2015) and van Dijk (1980, 1996), the main objective is to determine the relationship between language and power in the selected texts by understanding the forms of relationships between discourse types. The two possible manifestations of the dominated discourse in opposition to the dominant discourse are: 1) the use of resistance discourse, or discourse of opposition to a dominant one, and 2) a contained discourse, where the dominated discourse is contained within the dominant discourse. Specific sociopragmatic aspects are analyzed in the greetings, pre-good-byes, good-byes, address pronouns tú/Ud., speech acts and free lexical combinations used to characterize the presidential figure. Light will be shed on strategies that indicate resistance, rejection or discontent, and how each letter expresses an interest in obtaining something from the president while at the same time reporting to other readers certain aspects of the president´s conduct. In conclusion, not only those who oppose the head of the Venezuelan government use resistance discourse and not only his supporters use contained discourse.
