Abstract

The purpose is to analyze how the four most quoted government proposals to the Brazilian Republic Presidency were presented in the last elections. To achieve this goal, we utilize the assumptions proposed by the Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday, 1994; Halliday and Mathiessen, 2004, 2014; Thompson, 2004; Taverniers, 2003). The analysis of the texts suggests a high occurrence of ideational metaphors. The data revealed that these metaphors are usually presented through
nominalizations, building a scale of abstraction that disassociates social events from the experiential world, thus, concealing the social actors. These metaphors are textually built so as to construe strategic meaning effects.
