Abstract

Considering the analytical view of the French Semiotic theory, EXAME’s constituent text cover story – the materialization of textual genre –, bears inherent peculiarities with particular mechanisms that engender meaning effects. In this way, taking into consideration the recurrences of themes and figures of this same genre are the invariant abstractions captured: the whole to make the meaning effects from this text/discourse emerge and consolidate in apredictable way of saying, in a thematic-figurative homogeneity. Keywords: Cover story. Textual genre. Printed magazine. Meaning effects. Semiotic analysis.
