The first secondary aphorization presents a common POV of the locutor and the author-enunciator on the form of government in Catalonia, which in turn includes the negation of the POV of those who agree with the established power, thus questioning the basis of a political and social conviction according to which the government is in the hands of Madrid politicians and not of the Catalan people. The second one conveys the POV of Rovira i Virgili, the locutor and the republican society. Moreover, the words of the epitaph build up a series of emotions, the desire for Freedom and the recognition of national and cultural Dignity. Those intended emotions are semiotized using a negative syntactic phrase " no... no... no... " in contrast to the four superlative structures " la més... " which aim to encourage the audience. The President as locutor-enunciator also quotes three times Pompeu Fabra, a member of the Republican General Government in exile and author of the modern normative of the Catalan language: (5) «Només tindrem el que nosaltres sapiguem guanyar.» (repeated twice 16 In this sense, the second quote focuses on a concrete emotion, Dignity, semiotized by means of a conditional syntactic structure and the lexical choice of the verb to fail ( fallar ). This is identified with the defense of a concrete aspect of Catalan cultural identity, its language. Next, we find two quotes (7) from Lluís Companys which also build up the emotions of Dignity, Freedom and love for the homeland; semiotized through a poetic text with a syntactic negative structure to which the locutor adds the historical context of his execution by Spanish fascism: ) and (6) «si la llengua falla, fallarà tot.» (13.12.2019). Through these aphorizations, the locutor expresses the shared POV with Fabra about the difficulties of the Catalan struggle, among which he emphasizes the protection of the Catalan language. (7) «"No admetis, doncs, condols, ni ploris. Aixeca el cap. moriré estimant-te." A 2/4 de 7 del matí, just abans de disparar-lo, va cridar: "Per Catalunya!"» A quote from Francesc Macià used twice: (8) «El seny si no va acompanyat d'una ferma voluntat de combat només serveix per tapar covardies.» (20.08.2019) and two more quotes from Heribert Barrera: (9) «Jo proclamo des d'aquesta tribuna que CAT té dret a l'autodeterminació.» (10) «No vaig votar la Constitució, i com em va dir un dia Tarradellas, és l'honor més gran de la meva carrera política.» 16 Conference El nostre moment at the National Theater of Catalonia (04.09.2018); and the 51st edition of the Catalan Summer University (UCE) in Prada de Conflent. Closing ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the UCE (20.08.2019). If we examine the question of emotions conveyed by the secondary aphorizations of this group, we find that they have to do with Freedom and Dignity in the context of defending sociocultural identity. We can classify such emotions as " émotions étayées ," for which it is necessary to know the historical significance of both the authors and their time, which is why they are considered "characters" and "sages" according to the historical and sapiential interpretative frameworks (Maingueneau 2013:114). About the Third Republic, the President primarily quotes Jordi Turull with three aphorizations (11, 12) that also construct complex emotions through the current POV: Dignity and Freedom, semiotized by the lexical choice and the syntactic construction of the future, which has the appearance of a prophecy. They are thus " émotions étayées ." But we also find " émotions montrées " (underlined) as hope and determination, conveyed through the lexical choice: (11) «És el sentit que vull trobar a la presó, amb l’esperança i el convenciment #persistim que si e ns en sortirem i el temps ens demostrarà que res haurà estat en va i tot haurà valgut la pena.» (12) «Benvinguda la proposta de fer un altre referêndum.» «Confonen discrepància i crítica amb atac i falta de respecte. Aquesta confusió només es dóna en mentalitats insegures o en mentalitats autoritàries.» The group of representatives of Catalan culture includes 21 authors and is the second largest regarding the number of aphorizations with 28 (20 tweets and nine quotes in speeches). One of the quotes belongs to the Catalan community since the 13th century, not to a specific author. It is a fragment of a liturgical drama and medieval ecclesiastical Gregorian chant, declared World Heritage in 2010, the song of the "Sibyl." However, most of the quotes, 20 in total (in red), correspond to fragments of literary texts that the locutor copies on his Twitter feed, 18 poems or excerpts, and one narrative fragment, for example: (13) «Finalment submergida l’ombra del vell temps al fons orb del celler, compassarem la cadència del pas per camins ignorats buscant les genuïnes arrels a les paraules mítiques de pau i llibertat.» Zoraida Burgos i Matheu (tweet 25.01.2020) (14) «En aquesta nit d'un Nadal fosc i trist jo us convido a obrir el finestral com un acte d'esperança. Fa fred. No es veu res. Tot és negre. Però si teniu voluntat d'escoltar, sentireu la veu de l'àngel.» Eugeni Xammar. Nadal de 1939 . (tweet 25.12.2019) The remaining aphorizations are the opinions of the authors. In this case, the author highlights the POVs of Manuel de Pedrolo, a writer also known for his journalistic activity and political struggle against Franco's regime, quoted three times: (15) «el combat és ara o no n'hi ha.» (used twice on 04.01.2020) © 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue VI Version I 22 Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 ( ) F The Discursive Construction of Republicanism through the Quotes of the President of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia after the 2017 Self-Determination Referendum.
