Dinamismo e identificación de participantes en la construcción discursiva de la nación estadounidense
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo analiza las elecciones lingüísticas mediante las cuales los actores sociales son representados en el discurso político y el papel de estas en la construcción de narrativas nacionales. La investigación se centra en los discursos de investidura de Donald Trump y Joseph Biden como contexto exploratorio crítico. El enfoque analítico se basa en el contraste de sus elecciones lingüísticas para asignar dinamismo mediante roles de transitividad y para identificar participantes mediante estrategias directas, indirectas y pronominales. Los resultados indican que Trump asigna roles de Actor con Objetivo que interpretan a la ciudadanía como agentes que influyen en la realidad, mientras que Biden asigna roles de Actor sin Objetivo que representan a los ciudadanos como participantes de eventos no causados. En la identificación de participantes, Trump destaca por el uso de estrategias indirectas ligadas a la cualificación posesiva y Biden, por el uso frecuente de la
primera persona singular. Los resultados sugieren que las estrategias identificadas resuenan con la construcción de narrativas e identidades nacionales, ambas permeadas por las orientaciones ideológicas de los líderes políticos.
