SUMMARY:

This work aims to analyze the inaugural pronouncements of former presidents of Brazil during the period of the Military Dictatorship as a way of contributing to current linguistic studies. Thus, we seek to discuss the concept of hope that is strongly presented in these discursive structures, properly speaking, in the political field. In any social context, power and discourse are fundamental tools for communicating, positioning and, above all, influencing other people. Therefore, studying the inaugural speech of former heads of state and government is necessary to identify the ideological directions, forms of government and their management expectations. In addition, the important thing is to understand which ideological values are being conveyed in these political discourses. We take as a basis, especially, the ideas of Thompson (1990), Charaudeau (2008, 2015, 2016), Fiorin (1988), Orlandi (1993, 2020), Pêcheux (1995, 1997). We selected the inaugural speeches of Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco, Arthur da Costa e Silva, Emílio Garrastazu Médici, Ernesto Geisel and João Baptista de Oliveira Figueiredo, as they represent the 21 years of this sad and troubled chapter of Brazilian history. In the end, we realize that the notion of democracy, so emphasized, has a fundamental role, which is to cover up the structure of a regime marked by repression, persecution and torture in line with an argumentative bias permeated by a “rhetorical of hope”. In addition, during the analysis process, we noticed discursive and ideological trends of the time, in addition to knowing the socio-historical situation of the country.
