Abstract

The objective of the present study was to analyze the discourse of a TV series character and identify the elements employed to convey her ideology. The method followed was taken from Van Dijk (2004) and it focuses on the examination of meaning at a semantic level. In order to achieve this, five speeches of the character were taken and broken down to be studied. Results show the presence of patterns of three repeated structures such as exemplifying, giving details of the good she has done and the bad others have done, the use of pronouns to emphasize her role as a fair ruler and to create a distinction between her and other rulers.
