Resumo: | The aim of this study was to analyze 20 statements of apology from Brazilian politicians, published between 2010 and 2021, to identify the linguistic elements that characterize them. Our hypothesis was that stance taking, as well as the use of politeness strategies contributed to the felicity condition of the apologies, potentially serving as resources that promote the moral reconciliation between the offender and the offended party. The results confirmed that public political apologies display three main characteristics: (a) explicit and conventionalized elements (IFIDS – illocutionary force indicating devices – Searle, 1969); (b) politeness strategies and (c) expression of attitude. These elements operated so that the apologies fulfilled their perlocutionary effect. Broader axiological aspects were also identified in the data, which impacted the restorative potential of the public apologies analyzed. |

Nossa hipótese era de que as expressões de postura e as estratégias de polidez contribuíam para a felicidade dos pedidos de desculpas públicos, atuando, potencialmente, para a conciliação moral entre ofensor e a vítima. Os resultados confirmaram que os pedidos de desculpas de políticos apresentam três características principais: (a) elementos explícitos e convencionalizados de desculpas (IFIDS – illocutionary force indicating devices – Searle, 1969); (b) estratégias de polidez e (c) expressão de atitude. Esses elementos atuaram para que os pedidos de desculpas obtivessem o efeito perlocucionário desejado. Foram também identificados aspectos axiológicos mais amplos, que impactaram o potencial reparador dos pedidos de desculpas.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-05-19info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/596510.1590/1678-460x202349328porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/5965/11465Copyright (c) 2023 Ana Larissa Adorno Marciotto Oliveirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Ana Larissa Adorno Marciottoreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-05-19T15:43:53Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/5965Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-05-19T15:43:53SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |
