Resumo: | 4chan is a digital forum known for its strong presence of alt-right movements (Nagle, 2017; Tuters, 2020). In this article, based on the Discourse-historical Approach (Wodak; Reisigl, 2016) of Critical Discourse Studies (Wodak; Meyer, 2016), we present a brief qualitative and quantitative study on this forum in two parts: first, we discuss processes of lexical innovation that occur endemically in this type of digital environment and, second, we present an overview that exposes the most recurrent terms in the naming and predication of social actors represented in the discourse o this platform, in a corpus of 3,675 comments. From these examples, we selected cases that represent some of the most productive vernacular innovation processes, namely, semantic fading (Peeters et al., 2021), morphological blends and floating signifiers (Tuters; Hagen, 2020). To the later, we dedicate a more detailed discussion based on the instances revealed in the corpus of this study. We conclude, based in this data, that the environment is highly fruitful in the use of language games to represent social actors taken as antagonistic, reproducing markedly racist, antisemitic and transphobic discourses. |

Neste artigo, a partir da abordagem histórico-discursiva (Wodak; Reisigl, 2016) dos estudos críticos do discurso (Wodak; Meyer, 2016), apresentamos um breve estudo quali-quantitativo sobre esse fórum em duas partes: em primeiro lugar, discutimos processos de inovação lexical que ocorrem endemicamente nesse tipo de ambiente digital e, em segundo, apresentamos um panorama que expõe os termos mais recorrentes na nomeação e predicação de atores sociais representados no discurso nessa plataforma, em um corpus de 3.675 comentários. A partir desses exemplos, selecionamos casos que representam alguns dos processos de inovação vernacular mais produtivos, nomeadamente, o desbotamento semântico (Peeters et al., 2021), os blends morfológicos e os significantes flutuantes (Tuters; Hagen, 2020). A este último, dedicamos uma discussão mais detida a partir das instâncias reveladas no corpus deste estudo. Concluímos, a partir desses dados, que o ambiente é altamente profícuo no uso de jogos de linguagem para representação de atores sociais tomados como antagonísticos, reproduzindo discursos marcadamente racistas, antissemitas e transfóbicos.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2023-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/4638010.1590/1983-3652.2024.46380Texto Livre; Vol. 17 (2024): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e46380Texto Livre; Vol. 17 (2024): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e46380Texto Livre; Vol. 17 (2024): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e46380Texto Livre; v. 17 (2024): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e463801983-3652reponame:Texto livreinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/46380/39184Copyright (c) 2023 Lucas Maciel Pivetta, Paulo Roberto Gonçalves-Segundohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPivetta, Lucas MacielGonçalves-Segundo, Paulo Roberto2024-05-12T20:28:06Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/46380Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivrePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/oairevistatextolivre@letras.ufmg.br1983-36521983-3652opendoar:2024-05-12T20:28:06Texto livre - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
