Análisis lingüístico-pragmático de la teoría de la valoración en fraseologías sobre las emociones: contexto de la pandemia (Covid-19), en el artículo de opinión de la prensa ecuatoriana

Abstract

The perspective of linguistic analysis from the pragmatics point of view studies the linguistic resources from the speaker position in order to identify its position in the enunciation. The phraseology present in the opinion of the article of the Ecuadorian press, as a manifestation of emotions, positive or negative, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, is analyzed from the Appraisal Theory as a way of evaluating the use of the language. The main objective of this research is to analyze how the source voice uses these resources to expand the degree of emotional subjectivity, positive or negative, during and after the confinement of the pandemic, or simply fulfills the communicative purpose of the media: objectivity and impartiality. The methodology applied in this study has a descriptive-qualitative approach based on documentary research and analysis. The results that could be extracted from this research show that it is the context that marks the degree of valuation that the issuer spreads to the interlocutors. This study is part of one of the career lines of Pedagogy of Language and Literature: the linguistic analysis of discourse.
