The í-Piauí Herald's "News" and context: a study under the socio-cognitive bias of language

Abstract

The aim of this study is to observe how the contextual clues from the fictitious news published in The I-Piaui Herald work (from the Piauí magazine), observing what bring the closer or push them further from the real news, as well as the clues that approximate them of another genre - charge. To do so, we have analyzed four fictitious pieces published between October 9, 2013 and November 11, 2013, for being related to the same discursive moment, and for being subsequent, with little temporal distance among them. We were guided by the socio-cognitive perspective of language, more specifically the notion of context (VAN DIJK, 2012), and the referencing process (MONDADA; DUBOIS, 2003).
