Uma análise do discurso das eleições presidenciais de 2018 no contexto jornalístico do Amazonas

Abstract

Theoretical and methodological approach, this study analyzes the discourse of two companies Amazonas journalistic, A crítica and Portal do Holanda, on two events of the presidential elections presidential elections 2018, in order to demonstrate how the ideological positioning is constructed and point the intentionality of these companies in the Amazonian context. The analysis of the corpus, four excerpts of the reports of both newspapers, rests on critical discourse studies, with focus on the three-dimensional axis of Fairclough (2001). According to this model of analysis, we use functional grammar, specifically the Transitivity feature (HALLIDAY, 2004), considering nuances of Attitude and Gradation, dimensions of the Evaluative System (MARTIN & WHITE, 2005). The results indicate that realities are constructed in different ways. One, seeks to remain impartial through the use of material processes, while the other uses mainly verbal and relational processes to construct an identity.
