Based on the verbal language used on the digital platform, we have also analyzed how certain discursive modes utilized in the titles (such as the fact or speech reported, modalization, among others) intend to make the news story more attractive to the reader. As our corpus, we have selected 13 headlines from the News portal UOL published between August 27th, 2016, and September 3rd, 2016, period in which the impeachment of former president Dilma Rousseff occurred (31st of August), with the addition of the three days prior to event (from August 27th to 30th) and the three days after it (From September 1st to 3rd). The theoretical references of this dissertation are mainly situated in the field of Discourse Analysis, with emphasis on the principles of the enunciative clutch concept, direct and indirect discourse and detached enunciation proposed by Maingueneau (2013), supported on Bakhtin (2006). We have also resorted to the information staging strategies presented by Charaudeau (2010). We intend, with this research, to contribute not only to the studies on the peculiarities of the press online, but also to deepen the reflection of the market on how journalism is done. The results obtained demonstrate that there is a visible commitment to divulge relevant and/or exclusive content on the main event of the period studied (the impeachment), but there are situations when this commitment is broken by the usage of statements which prioritize the spectacle over the fact. Many linguistic and discursive choices used in the headlines are justifiable as attempts to mobilize the public interest. By such means, the Internet portal conducts a subtle staging of the information discourse, in which the journalist’s interpretation surpasses the actual news / Nesta pesquisa temos por objetivo investigar o uso e a recorrência dos recursos linguístico-discursivos na constituição de manchetes jornalísticas em um portal de notícias da Internet. Tendo como base a linguagem verbal utilizada na plataforma digital, procuramos, ainda, analisar como certos modos discursivos utilizados nos títulos (como o fato e o dito relatados, a modalização, entre outros) têm o intuito de tornar a notícia mais atraente para o leitor. Selecionamos, como corpus de análise, 13 manchetes do portal UOL, no período de 27 de agosto de 2016 a 3 de setembro de 2016, intervalo que compreende o impeachment da ex-presidente Dilma Rousseff (dia 31 de agosto), além de três dias antes (27 a 30 de agosto) e três dias depois (1 a 3 de setembro) desse episódio. Os referenciais teóricos deste trabalho inserem-se sobretudo na Análise do Discurso, com ênfase nos princípios de embreagem enunciativa, discursos direto e indireto e enunciados destacados propostos por Maingueneau (2013), apoiado em Bakhtin (2006). Recorremos, também, às estratégias de encenação da informação apresentadas por Charaudeau (2010). Buscamos, com este trabalho, contribuir não apenas para estudos acerca das peculiaridades da imprensa no suporte digital, como aprofundar a reflexão do mercado sobre o fazer jornalístico. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que há um compromisso visível de divulgar conteúdos relevantes e/ou exclusivos acerca do principal acontecimento do período estudado (o impeachment), mas há situações em que esse compromisso é rompido pelo uso de enunciados que priorizam a captação ao fato. Muitas escolhas linguísticas e discursivas utilizadas nas manchetes se justificam pela tentativa de mobilizar o interesse do público. Por meio desse expediente, o portal de Internet procede a uma encenação sutil do discurso da informação, em que a interpretação do jornalista se sobressai à notícia de fato

<p>This thesis explores the social semiotic relationship of visual and verbal signs of the Daily Voice tabloid as a way to show how the social context influences meaning of the signs used in its multimodal frontpages. The Daily Voice tabloid largely uses Kaapse English/ Afrikaans as spoken by Coloureds on the Cape Flats on its frontpages rather than standard English or standard Afrikaans associated with White people. The study assumes that the meaning constructed by and through the verbal and visual signs on the Daily Voice frontpages is interdependent on the relationship the multimodal texts have with the largely Cape Flats readership. This study maintains the importance of the idea of the localisation of meaning in socio-cultural specific contexts throughout. I conclude that Kress and Van Leeuwen&rsquo / s (1996/2006) design could be extended beyond Westernised contexts and that marginalised discourses such as those unique to the Cape Flats are not static, but indeed dynamic. I also extend the appraisal theory by Martin and White (2005) to marginalised bilingual discourse and establish that Appraisal theory can be used to not only evaluate verbal discourse but also that visual discourse needs to be considered as a tool within the appraisal framework. I also conclude by suggesting a monolectal view of Kaapse English/Afrikaans discourse. That is, the meaning potential of Kaapse English/Afrikaans by Cape Flats speakers would be lost if perceived or analysed as emanating from two languages, (White) English and (White) Afrikaans. Therefore the conclusion is that the Daily Voice uses Kaapse English/Afrikaans as is used in Cape Flats socio-cultural contexts to construct meaning-making options across its frontpages.</p>

The graphic-compositional analysis of the corpus is guided primarily by the theories of Gradim (2000) and Pellim (2009), while the stylistic analysis, as regards the persona management theory is based on Coupland (2001), as the stylization with the use of anaphora and “catáfora” in Kock (1991) and, about the management with the headlines in the case of the death theme, basically, this study is guided by Freud (2009), Cross (2008) Amaral (2007) and Timothy (2010). / Este estudo partiu da discussão, com base em Bakhtin (2003), Marcuschi (2005) e Bronckart (2003), acerca da terminologia quanto aos gêneros textuais (ou discursivos), ampliando o debate em direção ao gênero textual capa de jornal, culminando, finalmente, no foco da pesquisa, a manchete jornalística, numa abordagem quanto à estrutura composicional e à estilística discursiva – nosso objetivo principal –, de modo que pudéssemos evoluir para os objetivos específicos de ampliar e documentar a pesquisa do Português no jornal impresso paraibano (mediante o levantamento de um corpus composto por 15 manchetes de temática necrológica, publicadas no Jornal A União no período referente ao século XX aos dias atuais), analisar o citado corpus nos aspectos gráfico-composicional e estilístico (este na perspectiva discursiva) e observar – e registrar – mudanças que tenham ocorrido neste gênero, como também permanências, com o intuito de verificar se o gênero manchete jornalística consiste numa tradição discursiva, apontando para a confirmação dessa hipótese, diante das permanências verificadas sob um prisma diacrônico. A análise do corpus, quanto aos aspectos gráfico-composicionais, norteia-se, basicamente, pelas teorias de Gradim (2000) e Pellim (2009), enquanto a análise estilística, no que refere à teoria do manejo de personas, tem base em Coupland (2001), quanto à estilização com o uso da anáfora e da catáfora, em Kock (1991) e, quanto ao manejo com as manchetes em se tratando do tema da morte, basicamente, em Freud (2009), Cruz (2008), Amaral (2007) e Timóteo (2010).

We based ourselves in Dik (1197 [1989]), Givón (1984, 1990,1992,1994, Camacho (2000.2002), among others, to analyze the construction of voice in an approach that emphasizes the inter-shape function. To treat discursive features of this genre and the notion of language game, which permeates the universe of discourse in an interactive newspaper, we make use of Erbolato (2004) and Lage (1987), and Wittgestein (2005 [1953]), respectively. It the voice is a phenomenon of interface semantics, syntactic and pragmatic, determined by how the language user perspectiviza the state of things represented in the statement. The idea is that buildings active and passive constructions, for example, correspond to the representation of a same state of things in the extra-linguistic world, but the choice of either structure produces different effects of meaning in the party. The papers that comprise the corpus of analysis are the "Leaf Line" and "The People", published editions between May 2008 and May 2009. journalism writing manuals advise that, in making headlines, and headlines, preference be given to buildings because they provide an active heading lower, the present world events in chronological order of events and therefore , enable greater understanding of what you read. The data show that this rule is violated by factors of a particular discourse-pragmatic: the use of active construction, for example, proved to be barely functional in certain situational contexts, especially to the News negative events (disasters, violence, corruption, etc..) which, by emphasizing the event and not the agent, are more common in passive constructions. / Este trabalho objetiva analisar a funcionalidade das construções de voz em títulos de notícia e em manchetes de jronais, numa perspectiva funcionalista da linguagem. Fundamentomo-nos em Dik (1997 [1989]), Givón (1984, 1990,1992,1994), Camacho (2000,2002), entre outros, para analisar as construções de voz numa abordagem que privilegia a interrelação forma-função. Para tratar das características discursivas desses gêneros e da noção de jogo de linguagem, que permeia a atividade interativa no universo discursivo jornalístico, nos valemos de Erbolato (2004) e lage (1987), e de Wittgenstein (2005 [1953]), respectivamente. Considera-se a voz um fenômeno de interface semântica, sintática e pragmática, determinada pelo modo como o usuário da língua perspectiviza o estado de coisas representado no enunciado. A idéia é de que as construções ativas e as construções passivas, por exemplo, correspondem à representação de um mesmo estado de coisas no mundo extralinguístico, mas a opção por uma ou outra estruturação produz diferentes efeitos de sentido no interlocutor. Os jornais que compõem o corpus de análise são a "Folha Online" e "O Popular", edições publicadas entre maio de 2008 e maio de 2009. Os manuais de redação jornalística orientam que, na elaboração de títulos de notícias e manchetes, se dê preferência às construções ativas porque proporcionam um título mais reduzido, apresentam os eventos do mundo em ordem cronológica dos fatos e, por isso, possibilitam maior compreensão do que se lê. Os dados revelaram que essa regra é violada especialmente por fatores de ordem discursivo-pragmática:o uso da construção ativa, por exemplo, se mostrou pouco funcional em determinados contextos situacionais, especialmente, para as notícias de ventos negativos (desastres, violências, corrupção, etc), que, por enfatizarem o evento e não o agente, são mais usuais em construções passivas

Ce travail examine les aspects particuliers de la traduction journalistique, plus précisément, la traduction de l’éditorial, en fonction de la nature propre de celui-ci ainsi que de l’écriture journalistique et s’efforce d’en déduire quelques observations éclairant la traduction des textes journalistiques d’opinion du français vers l’arabe. L’analyse des stratégies de traduction appliquées dans un corpus d’éditoriaux du magazine français Le Point fait apparaître l’impact important de la composante culturelle dans la traduction de ce type de textes. On a ainsi observé que les titres des éditoriaux étaient très marqués par le genre discursif et par la tradition journalistique dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent. Ces segments courts exigent une construction de sens complexe et rétroactive de la part du traducteur. L’éditorialiste français a tendance à mettre en œuvre différentes stratégies et techniques de persuasion dans son intitulation dont l’humour. L’étude du corpus montre que le traducteur doit tenir compte tout aussi bien des conventions d’écriture (en fonction du genre) que des stratégies de communications utilisées ( jeux de mots et intertextualité) pour rendre une traduction adaptée au contexte culturel du public cible. Notre recherche souligne également le poids de la culture de départ pour orienter la démarche globale des traducteurs face aux éditoriaux à traduire. / This study deals with particular problems arising when translating a journalistic text,particularly an editorial, depending on its specific features as well as journalistic prose;its purpose is to bring out a few remarks clarifying the French-Arabic translation of opinion journalistic text. The aim of this research is to study the translation strategies applied in a corpus made up of editorials taken from the French magazine Le Point.The study shows the important impact of culture in translating editorials. Thus, we firstnoticed that editorial headlines are influenced by the discourse genre and the journalistic tradition in which they are produced. The interpretation of these short textual segments requires a complex construction of meaning on the part of the translator. There is atendency of the French editorialist to use various strategies and techniques employed for persuasion in his editorials and headlines including humour. The study shows that the translator should be sensitive not only to conventions applying across genres in Arabicjournalistic culture, but also to humour effects and cultural citations in order for theintended effect to be achieved. Our research highlights as well the important role of thesource culture to determine the global translational behaviour.

Magister Artium - MA / This thesis explores the social semiotic relationship of visual and verbal signs of the Daily Voice tabloid as a way to show how the social context influences meaning of the signs used in its multimodal frontpages.

This thesis is a critical analysis of the discourses used in online news headlines to reporttwo events that took place during 2018 Russian Presidential debates (on February 14,2018 and March 14, 2018) and focused on Ksenia Sobchak, the only female presidentialcandidate of the 2018 election. By analyzing 52 headlines published in Russia’s mostpopular and most read online news outlets, the purpose of this study is to investigatewhether there are any gender stereotypes used by the journalists to create a particularrepresentation of Sobchak, and to understand if, through this representation, a particularideology is put forward. The framework used to carry out the research is based onFairclough’s critical discourse analysis method combined with a sociolinguisticapproach influenced by Halliday. The application of this framework resulted in studyingthe three interrelated elements of discourse: sociocultural practices, which explore therole of women in the Russian political arena and put headlines under analysis into animmediate context; discourse practices, which focus on the peculiarities of online newsproduction, particularly headlines; and linguistic analysis of the headlines themselves,in which lexical choice, quotation patterns, and transitivity analyses were performed.The analysis revealed that headlines include hidden gender stereotypes, which alignwith Russia’s patriarchal ideology and which are used to represent Sobchak lessfavourably in comparison to her male opponents.

This paper examines how three prominent news outlets in the United States: specifically CNN, Reuters and Fox News, depict the death of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the protests that would follow. The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not political ideology affects news reporting done by these online news outlets. Subsequently, the aim is to determine how that news reporting affects readers and in turn, influences public opinion and cultural ideology. This is done by employing Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, a framework used in critical discourse analysis to examine three dimensions within communicative events. To complete this analysis, historical context, political context, and the news genres’ limitations and expectations are taken into account. This paper finds that political ideology does impact the production of news headlines in terms of lexical choices made both to emphasize the focal point of different news sources, as well as where they stem from and what narrative they enforce. Finally, empirical evidence to support these claims is presented and interpreted.

Immigration policies and border control in the US were hardened significantly more ever since the new government’s immigration executive order in 2017. A series of massive raids and immigrant detentions were carried out which got the attention of both human rights activists and the news media. How these immigration detention events are portrayed in the news media reflect, moreover, a series of discourses which seem to attract audiences from either left-wing or right-wing political ideologies, specifically to read CNN and Fox news respectively, according to previous survey-based research. This paper aims to identify through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) how those in detention are represented in the news headlines of Fox News and CNN, and secondly, identify what possible left-wing and right-wing political ideologies about immigration are expressed in the news outlets. Reference strategies and transitivity will encompass the micro-level analysis, which focuses on language construction. For the macro-level analysis, on the one hand, discourse practices like process of production and consumption will be considered, and on the other hand, American foreign policy viewed from the left-wing and right-wing perspectives will be discussed to consider differences in style, tone, and perspective in CNN and Fox News’ headlines in relation to immigration detention events. Results show that CNN, tied to left-wing audiences, portray the immigration detention events from the perspective of immigrants who are in a vulnerable position since they are detained with their families. Moreover, Fox News, tied to right-wing audiences, show the events more from the viewpoint of the government and the public entities in charge of the immigration policies, who are in need to restrain, detain, and deport immigrants for the sake of the country’s security. This paper aims to contribute further to the research on political ideologies as a relevant factor to understand differences in discourse in the news media for future research.
