SUMMARY:

This discursive essay shows the discursive cognitive process included in the meaning construction for the COVID 19 CPI (Parliament Investigative  Commission) during pandemic time. The main objective is characterizing the manner by which the linguistic concepts work as a link to evoke the cognitive mechanisms envolved at the meaning construction process. The historical moment when the world population is caught by virus bring the public admnistration should be claimed about its responsability. For fighting against the pandemic. This subject provokes debates between situation and opposition searching for a CPI (Parliament Investigative Commission), where selected the testimony of former minister former minister of Health, Eduardo Pazuello, our corpus. With the aim of supporting this assignment we got as theoritical bases the conceits of conceptual metaphor (Lakoff; Johnson, 1980);  notion of domain (Langacker, 2008); frames semantics  ( Fillmore, 1986), frames dimensions (Duque and da Silva, 2015, 2017) and framing (Lakoff, 2008; 2014). Duque and da Silva, 2019). These analysis categories are in a theoritical contribution of the embodied cognitive linguistics which shows the modality coming from immediate and sensorimotor experience of the world. The research is about a nature qualitative descriptive and interpratative descriptive upon which the phenomenon is characterized. Regarding methodoligal procedures, we carried out a qualitative content analysis (Bardin, 1977); we used the tools for metaphor identifying – Bootstrapping (Duque, 2018, Medeiros, 2021); and graph representation (Duque, 2017; Medeiros, 2021; Souza, 2022, Silveira, 2023). In practical procedured, we searched identifying the linguístic steps around Covid 19 in the shorthand notes at the CPI pandemic testimony , headed by Federal Senate; as second step we joined concepts and identified domains; and third we described the schematic topology, mechanisms of frames linking and we projected the domain conceptual metaphor. The result of this assignment allowed observing that Covid 19 is thought as a war enemy. However, onde that one was found is the schematic topology importance based on the analysis of concepts, domains and frames evoked in the discourse, making the route of different schems can explain the distinct meaning of one same phenomenon. In this sense we see schemes in the speech such as BLOCKING, COUNTERFORCE and DIGRESSION.
