A university professor of Discourse Analysis is guiding future PORTUGUÊS-INGLÊS teachers in a project that analyzes language, text, and discourse in multimodal digital environments. The object of study is a viral TikTok video in which a user stitches a clip of a politician making a controversial statement with a clip of their own silent, critical reaction (e.g., an eye-roll, a facepalm). The professor wants the students to move beyond a simple interpretation ('the user disagrees with the politician') and conduct a rigorous analysis of the video as a complex discursive artifact. The theoretical framework for the analysis draws on Bakhtin's concept of 'dialogism' and the idea of the 'superaddressee.' The professor explains: 'Every utterance, even a seemingly simple one, is dialogic, responding to previous utterances and anticipating future ones. On social media, this dialogism is explicit. The 'stitch' feature on TikTok is a pure form of dialogic interaction, where one discourse literally frames and re-contextualizes another. The creator is not just reacting for their immediate followers, but for a 'superaddressee'—an abstract ideal audience that understands the implicit social and political critique.' The professor challenges the students to dissect how meaning is constructed in this seemingly simple video.

Based on this dialogic conception of language and discourse, analyze the following analytical statements about the TikTok video:

I. The meaning of the video is not contained in either of the individual clips, but emerges from the 'dialogic' tension created by their juxtaposition, an effect that can be termed 'discursive montage.'
II. The user's silent reaction functions as a powerful 'rejoinder' in the Bakhtinian sense, a responsive and evaluative turn in an ongoing social dialogue, which reframes the politician's original utterance from a statement of fact into an object of ridicule or critique.
III. The effectiveness of the video depends on a shared 'chronotope' (a shared understanding of time, space, and social context) between the creator and the intended audience, who must recognize the politician and the controversy to understand the critique.

Which of the statements correctly apply concepts from a dialogic/discursive theory of language?
