Summary/Abstract: This article describes the linguistic function of sound bite phrases in the discourse of two Latin-American left-wing politicians, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Argentina and José Mujica in Uruguay, and analyzes the echo that these phrases have in the media. The purpose is to study whether their usage in the media-political scenario is a phenomenon with identifiable idiosyncratic discursive mechanisms.
