THE PARLANCE, THE SPEECH AND THE METHOD
The building of a logical
thought, the effort of syntactic structuring and the performance in the sense
of conveying the contents, enable the sender of the message, as protagonist,
the main purpose is to entice the recipient to adhere the new tenets of ideas
and disseminate it to his peers, mainly the whole civil society
The paragraph herein up,
as well as the phrases set up in principle, seems to forego a logical structure
in its more colloquial form of interpretation. But this is the key purpose of
first part of this article. Ascertain a thought or saying something can happen
in many ways, once circumvented by impressive, figures of speech. Press, social
media and most of wing left, has master this prerogative, as important tool to
probe the throng.
Let´s go to practical
example: the second quarter Brazilian GDP growth figures was 0.4%, the trade
agreement signed with the European Union, the approval of the social security
reform in the national congress and the impending, hailed and uptake of Brazil
as member of OECD. Despite these prominent spates of good news, driving the
country to be one of major international players. However, this news, when
spread by the mainstream media, always comes added by the conjunction
"But" ...
These whole events, are
happening in the sitting government and also befall on the erstwhile one.
However, (then, language becomes metaphysical) once that the effects of these
mishaps, though perceived, do not materialize overwhelmingly in the multitude.
First, because the
outcomes do not immediately reach out the taxpayer's pocket. If it does, is
very smooth, almost a slippage of credit outlook. Taking as an example the government
allowance of withdrawal part of the "FGTS” amount, by the workers, which
can give a relief and stimulus on the economy.
Another important,
Brazilian asset, the " car wash" operations. Hated by most of
politicians and some businessmen. On the other hand, beloved by the people and
desired by the mainstream media, which exploits the good results in its own
interests, sometimes for, sometimes against.
Thus, the logic of
discourse tends to change to classical or aletic logic (derived from the Greek
word alethéa "truth") where the arguments will be true if the facts
are true or false if not verified in accordance with what was written. . (ALFRED
Tarski - the semantic conception of truth, SP / UNESP, 2007. Apud CARVALHO,
Paulo de Barros - Tax Law, Language and Method.) Means that, recipient must vet
the primary sources to reach the truth.
In summary, the parlance
and speeches devised by part of press and "think tank" are biased and
bound to a methodology, a kind of syllabus. Readers must be very attentive to the
content of discourse to understand its form, the underlying ideological charge,
and for what purpose it was constructed.
