Resumo: This article aims to describe and analyze the grammatical and discursive-argumentative properties of the tautological identity propositions, such as a woman is a woman. Based on a corpus collected from the internet, the propositions were analyzed, considering the semantic typology of these tautologies proposed by Wierzbicka (2003) and the treatment given to them in New Rhetoric, by Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996). The results point to a broad use of these tautological propositions in daily speeches, advertising, literary, artistic (music and cinema), humorous, religious and political discourses. Moreover, the meanings of these propositions’ express generalization about attitudes, events, people, and things. Tautologies are constructed formally and rhetorically as absolute, immutable and culturally shared truths, and to the maintenance of stereotypes.

Com base em um corpus coletado da internet, as proposições foram analisadas, considerando-se a tipologia semântica dessas tautologias proposta por Wierzbicka (2003) e o tratamento dado a elas na Nova Retórica, de Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996). Os resultados apontam para uma ampla utilização desse tipo de tautologia no discurso coloquial, em gêneros publicitários, literários, artísticos (música e cinema), humorísticos, religiosos e políticos. Além disso, os significados dessas proposições, ao mesmo tempo em que expressam uma generalização sobre atitudes, eventos, pessoas e coisas, se constroem como verdades absolutas, imutáveis e compartilhadas culturalmente, contribuindo, inclusive, para a manutenção de estereótipos.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2021-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/5562910.4025/actascilangcult.v43i1.55629Acta Scientiarum.
