Abstract

The present study analyzes the political manifesto publicly presented by one of the ten candidates to the Portuguese presidential elections of January 2016. The objective of the study is, through the framework of analysis proposed by Adam (2001) for the description of the textual genres in eight components (semantic, compositional, enunciative, pragmatic, stylistic-phraseological, metatextual, peritextual and material), to carry out a complete and integrated analysis of the text that makes visible the main principles of its argumentative, enunciative and pragmatic organization and hence the principles of its discursive force. At the same time, the analysis will contribute to the description of this text genre belonging to the political discourse type, placing the text in a prototypical area of the genre.
