After the application of a critic analysis of the discourse matrix to a sample of 263 informative texts, published between May and December of 2011, and analyze the local and global meanings, explicit and implicit of the text, it goes deep here the analysis of the subtle formal structures which emerge of the text-context relation, showing as result the significant matrixes implied on the articulation of four kind of discourse: the ahistoric, the one of authority, the one of criminalization, and the one of the show business.
