A RETÓRICA DA IGREJA CATÓLICA: O USO DO DISCURSO POLÍTICO NO PAPADO DE JOÃO PAULO II

A retórica sempre esteve presente nas civilizações. Desde a Grécia Antiga até os dias de hoje ela é usada e estudada. Na religião, é uma formidável fonte de expressão. Foi através da retórica que o Papa João Paulo II conseguiu ganhar notoriedade e se envolver em casos muito além da religião no século XX. Ele foi considerado um papa que se utilizou do político e consolidou um novo status para a Igreja Católica. Assim, através da análise retórica da mediação da Santa Sé no Canal de Beagle em 1979 e da análise retórica das ações diplomáticas do Vaticano contra a invasão do Iraque em 2003, este trabalho mostra como se constrói a retórica religiosa, além das conseqüências que isso acarreta não só para a Igreja, como também para o mundo.

The narrative construction va + infinitive in contemporary French:a linguistic phoenix risen from its medieval ashes?

In Old and Middle French (12th-16th centuries), va ["goes"] + inf was used in narrations in the past. A similar usage seems to have reappeared and be spreading today. However, the old construction combined with past Tenses whereas the new one is found only with forms anchored in present and future. We argue that the conTemporary construction derives not from the old one, but from a metanarrative construction. On the basis of its future in Terpretation, va + inf aids the organization of the narration, announcing subsequent events through a hypernymic process. The periphrasis thus approaches a narrative value by projecting the time of events onto that of narration. With the disappearance of all deictic markers, the go-periphrases are no longer hypernyms: they appear on the same temporal line of events as the neighboring situations and are understood as fully completed. © John Benjamins Publishing Company.
