names, discourse, soccer.

Abstract

We aim to reflect about certain aspects of the appointment of Brazilian soccer players and about some interpretations of this phenomenon, based on contributions from general theories of language and, in particular, from the Discourse Analysis. In order to undertake such a task, we elaborate a corpus of stories, interviews and essays, in which initially we remark two discourse formations. After a brief account of the media discourses about the appointment of those players, we pretend to contrast this discourses with some reasons and functions of proper names, in order to better understand some specifics characteristics of the phenomenon and its
mischaracterization.
