Abstract

Abstract : Critical Linguistics studies have been increasingly successful in evincing how contextual dimentions shape and model texts. In this sense, Functional Linguistics research has turned out to be paramount for the study of ars poetica . From this tradition, the Galician–Portuguese songbooks are corpora of proven importance for the understanding of our contemporary culture. In this sense, this paper aims to arrive at a thorough understanding of the complexities at issue for the fenhedor poetic persona in the Galician–Portuguese songs of love of King D. Dinis in his attempt to express his feelings to his beloved lady without violating the rigid principles that governed the court of love by the time. The theoretical-methodological frameworks of the Systemic-Functional Linguistics and the principles of Logogenesis and Resonance are pivotal to developing a critical analysis capable of identifying the ideology in the text.
