This paper studies news published in the newspaper Estado de São Paulo between 1969 and 2015 about transsexuality. The objectives consist in verifying the themes of the newspaper articles and identify the voices that are present, besides carrying out a characterization of the newspaper according to the assumption of communicative situation in Linguistics. The obtained results show an increase in the number of articles published over time, as well as the broadening of subjects covered. While in the first twenty years, only doctors and jurists talk about the theme, from 1990 onwards, transsexual people start to be heard by journalists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing from the writings of Bakhtin and his Circle, in this paper we analyze on-line editorials published in Portuguese and in Spanish by the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo and El País, during February 2020. By comparing productions of the same speech genre in different ethnolinguistic communities, we intend to broaden the understanding of the genre itself, of the functioning of the field in which it is inserted and of the way de addressee is represented, taking into account the specificities of the production, circulation and reception of utterances in digital media. Our analysis reveals a transition period in the journalistic field. In the newspapers compared, the editorials manifest the contradictions between different reading practices and try to incorporate, each one in its own way, the heterogeneity of the presumed reader.

This paper analyzes the relations between technodiscourse, interactivity and support in Instagram media in a theoretical intersection between Digital Discourse Analysis (Paveau, 2017), Communication Sciences (Jensen, 1998; Kiousis, 2002) and Textual Linguistics (Marcuschi, 2003, Gonçalves, 2013). The corpus is composed of screen copies of stories from the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã and the Brazilian newspaper Diário Catarinense published on Instagram. In this investigation, we verified that some aspects of technodiscourse, such as composition, delinearization, augmentation, and relationality are directly related to two levels of interactivity, the dialogic character and content control. Therefore, a degree of engagement of interlocutors in interactions with Instagram media are increased. We also verified that some variables of interactivity, such as the control of content and the dialogical character, change depending on the type of support through which the Instagram media is accessed, in order to stimulate the interlocutor to more direct and active actions in the construction of meanings. This research seeks to show the relevance of observing the characteristics of technodiscourse combined with the investigation of interactivity and support in the construction of meanings of Instagram stories. With this contribution, we seek to expand the studies that relate technodiscourse to modes of interaction with digital media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
