California began with an Indian society which was station and provincial. From this territory Spanish invaders, seeking adventure and wealth, erected an outpost which was someday to be- A come the empire of the West." The short period of Mexican domination influenced by Spanish tradition brought a change in this empire. The search for gold, the search for new homes and ad- venture, ended the life of the sleepy province. The annexation of California to the United States meant a new life and new problems for many. Through her people and through their willing- ness to fight for their honor and their welfare, California gradually became one of the most important states in the Union.

This thesis analyzes how the American political system presents specific rhetorical constraints for independent and third party candidates who are "othered" by the system. To better understand how independent candidates overcome these constraints, the rhetoric of two such recent candidates, Charlie Crist and Joe Lieberman, is analyzed using ideographic criticism. These two candidates were originally affiliated with one of the two major political parties, but changed their party affiliation to run as Independent candidates. To facilitate their transition to independent candidates, both politicians used popular American political ideographs such as "the people," "freedom," and "unity" to maintain their allegiance to America and their constituencies, while separating their political ideology from their prior party affiliation. The ideographic analysis reveals that independent candidates can create nuanced changes in the meanings of popular ideographs to transcend partisan interpretations and create a positive perception of political "otherness." / bvy Cara Poplak. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study assumes the theoretical framework of text construction as advanced by Grabe and Kaplan (1996) for the analysis of Sepedi texts of government speeches from the magazine: ANC TODAY. The theory that is used in this study invokes the linguistic elements that can be used by both the teachers and learners to critically analyse texts in classrooms. This genre-theoretic approach is employed as framework, for analysing the linguistic, rhetorical and discourse properties for Sepedi texts. It also addresses the parameters of the ethnography of writing advanced by Grabe and Kaplan: "who writes what to whom, for what purpose, why, when and how?' The text construction analysis executed in the study enable the learners to acquire skills, knowledge and values of outcomes-based language teaching. The information structuring of text analysis and construction enables learners to write, read and use language structure and conventions for learning and career pathways. The textlinguistic strategies for analysing written texts in language teaching enables learners to analyse texts successfully and gain an awareness of language use in texts. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie aanvaar die teoretiese raamwerk van tekskonstruksie soos voorgestaan deur Grabe en Kaplan (1996) in die analise van Sepedi tekste van regeringstoesprake uit die tydskrif ANC TODAY. Die teorie wat aanvaar word, gebruik die linguistiese elemente wat aangewend kan word deur taalonderwysers sowel as taalleerders om tekste krities te ontleed. Die genre-teoretiese benadering word ingespan as raamwerk vir die analise van die linguistiese, retoriese, en diskoerskenmerke van Sepedi tekste. Dit spreek ook die etnografie van skryf, soos voorgestaan deur Grabe en Kaplan, aan: wie skryf wat aan wie, vir watter doel, wanneer, waarom, en hoe. Die tekskonstruksie analise uitgevoer in hierdie studie stel leerders in staat om vaardighede, kennis en waardighede van uitkoms-gebaseerde taalonderrig te verwerf. Die informasie strukturering in teksanalise stel leerders in staat om te lees, skryf en praat in hulle toekomstige beroepe. Die tekslinguistiese strategieë vir die analise van geskrewe tekste in taalonderrig stel leerders in staat om tekste suksesvol te ontleed en 'n bewussyn te ontwikkel van taalgebruik in tekste.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Rudney Soares de Souza.pdf: 8430520 bytes, checksum: 380bcf89ef97e763a9801012da6783f3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-16 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Fundação São Paulo - FUNDASP / This thesis is part of the theoretical-methodological principles of Discourse Analysis and its aim is to examine the strength of discursive ethos, charisma and media power in the construction of the Brazilian political subject in the HGPE, Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral, ((Free) political advertising time), in the second round of the 2014 presidential elections. The specific objectives are: to verify the strategy and the discursive mechanisms used in the discourses of the political enunciator that seeks legitimation; to understand and explain the argumentative strength of the discursive ethos, the charism and the media in the organization and functioning of political discourse; to identify the discursive formations that cross different discourses of electoral campaigns and their relations with the interparty competitions that show the politician through the confrontation of their imaginary relations with their real conditions of existence. In order to base our analysis, we use the papers of Maingueneau (1995, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c, 2010a, 2010b, 2015) and Charaudeau (1996, 1999, 2000, 2006a, 2006b; 2008b; 2009; 2012; 2016). Given the interdisciplinary nature of the perspectives they address, it is possible to dialogue with Weber (1999), Bourdieu (1989), Foucault (2003, 2014), Bobbio (2015), among others. The topic is relevant, since it deals with the functioning of the mediatized political discourse in Brazilian territory and shifts studies on politics to interdiscursivity, recovering the socio-historical conditions of discourses of a fierce presidential election. The candidates Aécio Neves (PSDB) and Dilma Rousseff (PT) carried out electoral programs that projected, in the social imaginary, a divided society. Our hypothesis is that the mediatized political discourse in the HGPE projects a discursive identity of the enunciator, in other words, a discursive ethos that aims to legitimize it as a charismatic subject. We want to affirm that the charism emphasizes the positioning of the discursive ethos, since in him and by him we see the political subject validating themselves as the best. In this perspective, the concepts of subjective charisma and objective charisma, when entering the scenographies, locate the political enunciator between the symbolic logic and the pragmatic logic to reach the adhesion of the co-enunciator. In order to achieve the objectives we have proposed, we have constituted a corpus composed of twelve electoral programs broadcast in the HGPE, six by Aécio Neves and six by Dilma Rousseff. The analyzes revealed that the political subject, in showing their discursive ethos of a brazilian politician, oscillates between the symbolic logic and the pragmatic logic to reach their goals of adhesion and seduction and, thus, to validate, discursively, their figure of power that is projected on the television screen / Esta tese insere-se nos princípios teórico-metodológicos da Análise do Discurso e tem por objetivo geral examinar a força do ethos discursivo, do carisma e do poder da mídia na construção do sujeito político brasileiro no HGPE - Horário Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral -, no segundo turno das eleições presidenciais de 2014. Os objetivos específicos são: verificar as estratégias e os mecanismos discursivos utilizados nos discursos do enunciador político que busca legitimação; entender e explicar a força argumentativa do ethos discursivo, do carisma e da mídia na organização e no funcionamento do discurso político; identificar as formações discursivas que atravessam diferentes discursos de campanhas eleitorais e suas relações com as competições interpartidárias que evidenciam o político por meio do confronto de suas relações imaginárias com as suas condições reais de existência. Para fundamentar nossas análises, utilizamos os trabalhos de Maingueneau (1995; 1996; 1997; 2004; 2006; 2007; 2008a; 2008b; 2008c; 2010a; 2010b; 2015) e Charaudeau (1996; 1999; 2000; 2006a; 2006b; 2008a; 2008b; 2009; 2012; 2016). Dado o caráter interdisciplinar das perspectivas que abordam, permitem o diálogo com Weber (1999), Bourdieu (1989), Foucault (2003; 2014), Bobbio (2015), entre outros. O tema mostra-se relevante, pois trata do funcionamento do discurso político midiatizado em território brasileiro e desloca os estudos sobre política para a interdiscursividade, recuperando as condições sócio-históricas de discursos de uma eleição presidencial acirrada. Os candidatos Aécio Neves (PSDB) e Dilma Rousseff (PT) protagonizaram programas eleitorais que projetaram, no imaginário social, uma sociedade dividida. Nossa hipótese é que o discurso político midiatizado no HGPE projeta uma identidade discursiva do enunciador, ou seja, um ethos discursivo que visa a legitimá-lo como sujeito carismático. Queremos afirmar que o carisma enfatiza o posicionamento do ethos discursivo, na medida em que nele e por ele vemos o sujeito político validando-se como melhor. Nessa perspectiva, os conceitos de carisma subjetivo e carisma objetivo, ao adentrarem às cenografias, situam o enunciador político entre a lógica simbólica e a lógica pragmática para conquistar a adesão do co-enunciador. Para atingirmos os objetivos que propusemos, constituímos um corpus composto de doze programas eleitorais veiculados no HGPE, seis de Aécio Neves e seis de Dilma Rousseff. As análises revelaram que o sujeito político, ao mostrar seu ethos discursivo de político brasileiro, oscila entre a lógica simbólica e a lógica pragmática para atingir seus objetivos de adesão e de sedução e, assim, validar, discursivamente, sua figura de poder que é projetada na tela da televisão
