Los cubanos en misiones de salud en Venezuela
Referencias contrapuestas y polarizacion discursiva
Keywords:
references. argumentation. discursive polarization.Abstract
The specific purpose of this paper is to examine the meanings created by Venezuelans when they refer to the Cubans who serve in the health care programs initiated under the Cuba-Venezuela Cooperation. These meanings are in line with the stands taken by the two general groups that hold the public scene since 1999, one bringing together the followers of President Hugo Chávez’ policies, and the other one their opponents. The analysis of media texts focuses on the linguistic categories that are used in naming and characterizing the referred entities, and in describing their activities and behaviors as well. The interpretation of the analyzed data is indicative of an important argumentative function of the references used by the text producers. Their particular lexical selections have a decisive role in the construction of polarized meanings in Venezuelan present day socio-political context and thereby hinder the possibilities of dialogue in social interaction.
