Efeitos de sentido de uma discussão racializada no instagram: uma análise baseada na análise do discurso e na linguística de corpus.

Abstract

This paper, based on the principles of Discourse Analysis and methodologically executed by Corpus Linguistics techniques, aims to investigate aspects of online discourse. More specifically, a corpus approach is used in a quantitative-qualitative continuum to observe the effects of meaning of racial discussion on the social network Instagram. First, a corpus of comments from a viral post on the network was compiled. Then, the corpus was processed by Sketch Engine software, and Corpus Linguistics techniques (word frequency list, concordancer, concordance lines) were applied. This analysis made it possible to map the lexical items and identify the most frequent collocates in the internet users' discourse to shed light on qualitative analyses. The results point to sayings that permeate the racial sphere, more specifically, the place of speech about race and racism in the interaction between the participants of the post. The initial analysis shows that for participants to talk about racial issues, they must have experienced these dilemmas in their daily lives.
