Abstract

In this paper, We describe the efficacy of lexical blends, like 'Luísque' ('Lula' + 'uísque') and 'Jeguerino' ('Jegue' + 'Severino'), in Agamenon Mendes Pedreira's articles, published by O Globo once in a week. We show that lexical blends are constructions that cause an expressive impact in textual and discursive levels. We too argue that blends are a resource for the expression of humor in these articles.
