Description
Summary:This paper develops a semantic study of the form “-cídio,” coming from the Latin "cid / um" (action of who kills or its result). We study the morphological articulations “x-cídio” homicídio, infanticídio, suicídio, feminicídio, generocídio, lesbocídio, sincericídio, politicídio, found in web sites. We analyze these constructions from the perspective of the theoretical conceptions of the semantics of enunciation formulated by Dias (2018). The results of the analysis show that "x-cídio" constructions acquire relevance as provoked death, with different orientations of meanings and motivated by ideologically determined social, juridical, and political factors.
