Abstract (EN): The main objective of this paper is to assess students’ textual and discursive awareness in the production of argumentative texts. The corpus, with texts of students from the 12th grade, was analysed according to the following phases: segmentation of the texts into smaller units, identification of rhetorical relations (Asher and Lascarides, 2003, a.o) and detection of elements and structures used to signal rhetorical relations and to organise discourse. The results allow us to conclude that students at the age of 17-19 have not achieved the degree of writing competence as required by the syllabus and the final exam.
