Abstract

This work focuses on the public debate on social media platforms that address environmental issues in Brazil. It aims to map and analyze the conceptualization mechanisms that guide the construction of meanings underlying the discursive dispute involving the theme of agribusiness in news links circulating on Facebook (Meta, Inc.). Based on methodological tools for analyzing online social networks (Ruediger, 2017), a search syntax (Dienstbach et al., 2021) related to the topic of agribusiness and its execution in the CrowdTangle application ( Meta, Inc.). With this, around 3.1 thousand posts made in Portuguese were identified, on public Facebook pages and groups, between January 1st and February 1st, 2023. From this, possible relationships between textual regularities were analyzed. of posts and discursive aspects ‒ related to social, historical and political factors ‒ linked to these regularities, based on the theoretical and analytical collection of a socio-cognitive approach to language and discourse (Langacker, 1987; Wodak, 2006; Van Dijk, 2017). Results show that news links circulating on Facebook conceptualize, for the most part, agribusiness from a perspective guided by production success and profit. Persistence in numerical figures supports cognitive models of a growing ECONOMY and decreasing HUNGER. Another frequent fact is the VILLAINIZATION of the management of former president Bolsonaro (PSL) and his ministers, through allegedly secretive actions.
