Recursos semióticos y encuadre de temas: análisis del discurso multimodal de los discursos de investidura y de dimisión de Theresa May
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.58859/resla.1251Resumen
Los discursos de investidura y de dimisión de Theresa May marcan, respectivamente, el inicio y el final de su mandato como primera ministra. Cuando pronunció su discurso de investidura, May contaba con un amplio respaldo de la opinión pública, mientras que su discurso de dimisión se produjo al abandonar el cargo de primera ministra bajo una gran presión política y social. Este artículo aplica el análisis del discurso multimodal a ambos discursos, explorando cómo se emplean los recursos semióticos para encuadrar temas y lograr múltiples efectos comunicativos. Se constata que: (i) se manipulan múltiples modos —incluidos el verbal, el visual y el vocal— para encuadrar el tema de la justicia social: en relación con los compromisos de May en el discurso de investidura y respecto de los logros en el discurso de dimisión; (ii) en lo relativo al Brexit, se utilizan diversos modos para expresar confianza y tristeza ante el fracaso en los dos discursos; y (iii) ambos discursos encuadran la cuestión de la unidad nacional, subrayando la importancia de este asunto. Los mismos temas, pero con encuadres distintos, producen efectos diferentes. Además, se observa que el modo verbal desempeña un papel dominante en el encuadre de temas, mientras que los demás modos cumplen funciones de apoyo diversas. Estos modos se entrelazan e integran para maximizar el efecto de este tipo de discursos.Estadísticas globales ℹ️
