Francisco Morazán´s testament from the discursive characterization of language

Abstract

The testament of Francisco Morazán constitutes a documentary piece of precious cultural value for Central American historiography. The research aim was to analyze the space of interlocution used by the hero through the words and phrases following the analysis of the linguistic and literary aspects in which this discourse is framed. Methods. A qualitative, phenomenological paradigm research was performed, with a discursive approach. Furthermore, the narrative spaces are analyzed as temporal and situational references from the issuer's perception, with a semantic-communicative and pragmatic approach. Results. The text follows a discursive order in complete lexical and referential harmony, also, the textual properties evidence "the self" in consonance with the pragmatic situation. Schematically, we can indicate a direct connection between the sender and the addressees, the author becomes the sole narrator of the events evoked at the end of his days. Conclusion. The implications of the textual, rhetorical, semantic and pragmatic properties revitalize the message, likewise, it can be seen how General Morazán not only makes a collection of his life history, but also of a chronology of political spaces that detail the panorama of the Central American Federation and the end that awaits him with the death of the hero.
