Sentidos e pontos de vista construídos a partir de notícias e reportagens sobre a economia brasileira do período 2015-2018: o enquadramento metafórico como um mecanismo cognitivo-discursivo. 2019. 150f. Tese (Doutorado em Estudos da Linguagem) - Centro de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2019.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/28600The main goal of this thesis is to provide supportive evidence that cognitive mechanisms, along with certain linguistic strategies, are capable of formulating concepts regarding how Brazilian economy can be evoked. For this purpose, the study is based on the analytical categories namely, frames (DUQUE, 2015, 2017) and situated metaphors (VEREZA, 2013, 2016). Regarding its theoretic aspects, it is endorsed by the ecological approach of the cognition and language (DUQUE, 2017, 2018a), adjusting the concepts that form the theoretical framework of the Ecological Psychology, such as perception and information (GIBSON, 1950, 1966, 1986; MICHAELS; PALATINUS, 2014). Methodologically, it proposes a qualitative analysis applied to corpus-based research, which intends to identify the types of characteristics that occur in a given sample (MITTELBERG; FARMER; WAUGH, 2007); and it uses, as corpus, news and reports on the Brazilian economy of the 2015-2018 period. So far, the information obtained from the analyses suggest that situated metaphors and frames permit the construction of argumentative conceptual networks. From this, the senses and views can be created and defended. In conclusion, beyond its cognitive nature these mechanisms display a potentially discursive character.Acesso AbertoAbordagem ecológica da cognição e da linguagemConstrução de sentidos e de pontos de vistaMetáforas situadasFramesdoctoralThesisCNPQ::LINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LINGUISTICA
