Resumo: This article aims at criticizing the way the notion of discursive ethos has been generally used by discourse analysts for about fifteen years. This criticism is at the same time self-criticism, because from the 1980’s on I contributed to develop this field of research. Firstly, I try to analyze the content of the notion of ethos, which I divide into three dimensions: “categorial”, “experiential”, “ideological”. Such a division allows us to take into account the full diversity of activity. Secondly, I reflect on the very process through which addressees construct ethos; this reflection draws on data from matchmaking websites, not from the kind of corpora (political discourse, advertising, literature...) that are usually analyzed by the researchers who work on ethos. Thirdly, this article deals with the problems that one encounters when one studies texts in which iconic and verbal dimensions are tightly connected. Two kinds of data are taken into consideration: websites, which imply both digital and verbal ethos, and commercials.

Essa reflexão é ao mesmo tempo autocrítica, uma vez que, desde a década de 1980, contribuí para o desenvolvimento dessa problemática. Inicialmente, procuro analisar mais precisamente o conteúdo da noção de ethos, em que distingo três dimensões: categorial, experiencial e ideológica. Esta tripartição é necessária se quisermos levar em conta a diversidade de manifestações do discurso. Em um segundo momento, reflito sobre o próprio processo de construção do ethos, baseando-me em dados – particularmente em anúncios de sites de relacionamento – diferentes daqueles que geralmente estudamos quando trabalhamos com o ethos. Finalmente, em um terceiro momento, me interesso pelos problemas levantados pela análise do ethos discursivo quando se trabalha com textos nos quais as dimensões verbal e icônica estão estreitamente ligadas. Dois tipos de fenômenos são considerados: os sites da Internet, nos quais estão implicados ethos verbal e ethos digital, e as publicidades.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2018-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/3291410.15448/1984-7726.2018.3.32914Letras de Hoje; Vol. 53 No. 3 (2018): The discursive ethos: scope, challenges and potentialities; 321-330Letras de Hoje; Vol. 53 Núm. 3 (2018): Ethos discursivo: alcance, desafios e potencialidades; 321-330Letras de Hoje; v. 53 n. 3 (2018): Ethos discursivo: alcance, desafios e potencialidades; 321-3301984-77260101-333510.15448/1984-7726.2018.3reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/32914/17642Copyright (c) 2019 Letras de Hojeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaingueneau, Dominique2019-01-17T14:18:42Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/32914Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2019-01-17T14:18:42Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
