Análise do discurso de um cacique de uma aldeia Guarani localizada em Aracruz - ES : O que expressa sobre si, sua aldeia e o homem branco

Elaine Lopes da Fonseca

This study aims at researching a caciques worldview of himself, of his people and of the white man. Hallidays Systemic Functional Grammar (1984) is used as theoretical background: the ideational and the interpersonal metafunctions were used in order to analyze the caciques linguistic representations of reality. Indigenous Anthropology (Junqueira 2000) is also part of the theory since it defines culture by observing linguistic processes. A number of works has dealt with the indigenous question, but none of them actually researched the worldview of a cacique Guarani from Aracruz, ES, under the SFG theory. Thus, this project is an attempt to make a real contribution to the Discourse Analysis field. The interviews with the cacique are the corpus. When asked what his view of himself was, he answered that he considerers himself as an active leader who is always ready to fight for the rights of his people. The cacique has a positive view of his people and considers them the real owners of the land. However, he has a negative view of the white man, who is seen as the one who destroys, kills, and is not punished for breaking the law. We hope to have contributed to Language Studies by showing that the choices made by speakers are meaningful and directly related to their worldview. This work intends to provide Applied Linguistics with and original contribution. It also presents and discusses future limitations, possible topics to be discussed in the future and suggestions of sociological applications of the results
