Orações complexas, potencial de significado para a concretização de vozes discursivas em editoriais: uma abordagem sistêmico-funcional

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the clause complex through a Systemic-Functional approach (Halliday, 1994), as a meaning potential for the different external voices instantiation in newspaper editorials. This study was based on a corpus of newspapers editorial (O Globo, Folha de São Paulo, Estado de São Paulo and Valor Econômico) that analyzed the measures taken by the federal government to combat the coronavirus during the Brazilian covid-19 pandemic. The result confirmed the hypothesis exposed at the beginning of the dissertation that the external voices realized through the logical-semantic relations of projection of locution would be of greater incidence and would present a great argumentative potential in the newspaper editorials. Based on a deductive method of bibliographic research on theories of Halliday (1994), by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014), by Matthiessen (2002) and by Martin and Rose (2008), we seek to relate the incidence of discursive voices to the social purpose of the genre editorial.
