Retórica do consumo: o discurso em ação persuasiva

Abstract

In the face of several possibilities of studying that the advertising discourse provides, we propose, in this study, a rhetorical analysis of the titles in advertisements published in magazines, in Brazil, from 1808 to 2015. In some cases, the analyses will be extended to the additional texts in order to shed light on certain argumentative intentions of the orator. Our proposal is mainly based in Rhetoric theoretical fundaments, presented in Chapter 1, and sustained in Aristotle s Rhetoric (1985), which is presented and extended by Chaïm Perelman & Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005) as the New Rethoric and Olivier Reboul (2004), among other important argumentation theorists. The Chapter 2 describes the text advertisements structure, since the conception of the advertisement until the lexical choice for the text. In order to put forward the text configuration, we based our research mainly in João Anzanello Carrascoza (1999/2004) and Jorge S. Martins (1997) studies, among others. In Chapter 3, the advertisements are displayed, transcribed and analyzed based on the on the precepts of the New Rhetoric. When analysing the corpus, we outline ideological, cultural and social issues presente in the sentence macrostructure. We also consider the rhetorical context and e the rhetorical places, from which the linguistic materials revels ways the orator achieves the acceptance or adherence. We also identified the figures of rhetorical speech applied for argumentative purposes
