Abstract

Chico Mendes was a Brazilian rubber tapper who fought against the destruction of the Amazon region and consequently was murdered by cattle ranchers in 1988. His death aroused great interest in national and international media, which reported his fight against landowners, releasing Chico Mendes’s case worldwide. This work discusses six online articles published in the years of 1988 and 2008, by BBC, Folha de São Paulo, and The New York Times based on Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 1995, 2006) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY; MATTHIENSEN, 2004) assumptions. Results have shown that the lexicogrammatical choices portray Chico Mendes both as a leader and a martyr.
