Análise do papel do léxico na construção do sentido de discursos jornalísticos.

Abstract

This work aims, through the Theory of Argumentation in Language (TAL), developed by Oswald Ducrot and, with the contribution of Jean-Claude Anscombre and Marion Carel, deconstruct the supposed notion of objectivity of journalistic discourse. This task is relevant for the scientific society, more precisely for the students of Argumentative Semantics, because this analysis has neglected any element that is not part of the language system. It has therefore given up the rhetorical elements that commonly serve as a support for the understanding of the meaning of discourses, as well as it proclaims the TAL. It was adopted as a general objective, analyzing the role of the lexicon in the construction of the sense of communication. This activity unfolded in the specific objectives of how the lexicon guides a construction of the sense of discourse; investigating as a lexical choice presents the speaker's position no discourse and finally investigate whether as full words and as instrumental words guide differently among themselves the construction of the meaning of discourses. This analysis was carried out in the informative journalistic genre of the reporting and news formats. The analysis of semantic phenomena, such as syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations, negation and irony in discourse, the study of internal and external arguments of full words, as well as the intensification or attenuation of the value of the argumentative force of instrumental words, play an essential role in deconstructing the belief in the objectivity of journalistic discourse, which has been widespread throughout the ages.
