Análisis crítico del discurso de los tweets de Álvaro Uribe Vélez del 1 de septiembre al 1 de octubre de 2016, relacionados con la campaña por el no al "Plebiscito por la paz"

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the discursive strategies that denote the abuse of power and discursive manipulation of the former President of the Republic Álvaro Uribe Vélez through his Twitter account, based on the plebiscite on October 2, 2016, which endorsed the peace agreement between the National Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army (FARC). Therefore, the strategic use of personal pronouns, the tonalities used in the enunciative dynamics, the way in which the emotive dimension prioritizes the ethical and cognitive dimension over its interlocutors are discussed, and the rhetorical arsenal that it transports in its discourse is detailed. To take this fully, has deepened in the discursive perspective of language to then focus on what concerns the critical analysis of discourse. Given that the identities and the construction of images of the participants in the communication situation to be studied are also being put into play, the discursive tonalities and the communication contract present in the aforementioned discourse exchange have been addressed. The research was carried out in a single moment, through a matrix of analysis that contains the conceptual categories related to each objective, in order to analyze each publication and highlight the discourse strategies used. The matrix was divided into sub matrices that correspond to each specific objective and after each publication analyzed a partial comment was made. Finally, the conclusions reached that allowed to understand the most used strategies by Uribe Vélez in his speech.
