Fanzine: um estudo em descrição

Abstract

According to Haubrich and Freitas (2015) the manifestation present in a literary work, stage production or movie production, may have impact in social interactions mobilizing meanings. In this concern, we understand that fanzines are also responsible to generate meanings that could be applied to everyday life causing some attitude in the interlocutors. This way, Fanzines have a prescriptive character based on deontic values that guide the discourse of enunciators. So, we aim at investigating the ways the linguistic expression of deontic modality guided the conduct in a context that does not occur face to face. The methodological procedures are given from the analysis of the effects that deontic markers cause as guiding the use of the language in the fanzine. Neves (2006) and Palmer (1986) give support to the study. Therefore, the theoretical background is based on a Functionalist perspective. The results revealed the use of lexical verbs (54,7%), auxiliaries (39,1%), the values of volition (23,7%), obligation (14,4%) and commands (11,0%), the non-inclusion of speaker (64,3%), inclusion (35,7%) and the indicative (70,2%) in the enunciations. At last, this research contributes to the descriptive studies of authentic uses of language. FUNCAP and UFC gave support to the study.
