Negação, Discurso político inaugural, Disrupções léxico-gramaticaisResumo
O presente trabalho dá conta dos resultados de um estudo quantitativo sobre os padrões da negação léxico-gramatical e suas disrupções no discurso político. O corpus, formado pelos discursos pronunciados pelos 45 presidentes estadunidenses no início de seus mandatos (122.848 palavras), foi rotulado semiautomaticamente e analisado no marco teórico da linguística sistêmico-funcional. Os resultados mostram que a frequência da negação neste registro é mais alta do que a do padrão geral do inglês. Foi detectado, além disso, uma interação recorrente entre a negação e a concessão e outras disrupções discursivas que resultaram estatisticamente significativas. Entre elas, destacam-se as intersecções da polaridade negativa e a modalidade, assim como as frequências de negação por meio do determinante no sob o alcance dos processos existenciais.
