Abstract

With this work we intend to analyze the news in the Portuguese media that report femicide and determine the presence of linguistic patterns with an impact on the creation and support of stereotypes and ideological systems. Preliminary data show that there are distinct linguistic patterns (some referring to sexist stereotypes) in the modalization of those involved and the event in news about femicide and show the need for a linguistic approach to fill the studies already developed.
