In this article, a corpus of ten photographic memes elaborated based on the relationship between two contents: coronavirus / Covid-19 and Corona Extra beer is analyzed. Based on the concept of Referencing, according to Mondada (1994, 2002, 2008), Marcuschi and Koch (2002) and Marcuschi (2004, 2007), among other authors, understanding that speech objects can be activated and / or reactivated both by textual-discursive and cognitive-inferential procedures, the study aims to show how this relationship is made and which meanings are constructed from it. The memes were produced simultaneously with the spread of the coronavirus around the world, between December 2019 and (so far) April 2020.
