The goal of this paper is to analyze occurrences of expression pode ser (as a predicate of an embedded proposition or as an independent structure), followed by an objection introduced by mas (pode ser (…), mas) in Portuguese. Based on the functionalist theory, we study the modal value and the communicative and argumentative strategy which are expressed in these contexts. The analysis reveals the modality as an essential category for the management of different points of view in discourse which also involves the defense and protection of face.
