La palinodia o recantación censoria como fenómeno pragmático

Abstract

Just as other types of communication that can be considered in terms of rhetoric, palinode, or recantation can also be studied as a pragmatic phenomenon.  Palinode / recantation is the public retraction of something that was previously said.  Unlike other types of recantation, the palinode of censure involves three participants – the sender, the receiver, and the censor; it is communicated clearly as a retraction and is motivated by fear of punishment by a censor who has understood the original message to be a threat to his ideology. These characteristics differentiate it from other kinds of recantation and from other pragmatic phenomena such as reformulation, self-censorship, or compliance with an order
