Abstract

This dissertation is based on Critical Discourse Analysis, of a socio-cognitive aspect, and on Systemic-Functional Linguistics, with the theme of the discursive representations of social problems constructed in the rap of the composer and singer Emicida. The general objective of this work is to contribute to the linguistic studies of rap music and the specific objectives are: 1. To raise the lexical words related to the name, that is, nouns and adjectives of musical texts, to understand who participates in the situational event and how the participant or the process is characterized by the speaker. 2. Characterize the lexical words of the verb, that is, verb and adverb, to understand and highlight where and how the processes occur during the musical narrative. 3. Assign meanings to complex lexias to understand specific terms from the rap universe, from slang terms belonging to the concerned social group in question. 4. Analyze the context from the triad Society, Cognition and Discourse with the aim of clarifying what is implied in the. 5. Distinguish the social representations of the subject and group in the song lyrics as a way to highlight the identity, ideology, stereotypes and the linguistic variety used. The research is justified by the fact that rap denounces adversities, giving visibility to the problems inherent in the daily lives of people who are part of a social class lacking the means to subsist with dignity, denouncing abuse, discrimination and claiming greater political, economic and social participation. poor and black people in particular. The carried out analyzes followed a theoreticalanalytical procedure, whose analytical categories are Society, Cognition, Discourse and Language. Therefore, the analyzes were also based on the notion of context proposed by van Dijk (2012) and the transitivity system proposed by Halliday (2004). Therefore, the research adopted the following methodological procedures: 1. Theoretical review on Critical Discourse Analysis, Lexicology, Systemic-Functional Linguistics, Representation Theory. 2. Contextualization about the elements of hip hop, with a focus on rap music; presentation of the rapper Emicida and his work. 3. Selection of analysis material: three widely spread songs were selected, which were presented as an example to address the social problems studied: racism, violence and social exclusion. The results obtained indicate that the enunciator is able to expose such problems, through discourse, in order to change the trajectory of black people in Brazilian history
