Abstract

This article aims to identify and describe the notion of country proposed by Presidents Ricardo Lagos and Sebastián Piñera in their first State of the Union messages in May 21st, besides of establishing the similarities and differences between both. With the idea of building this comparison, the relationship between protector fathers/liberals and strict father/conservatives suggested by George Lakoff was taken into account. Algirdas Greimas' narrative grammar was used to recognize the notion of country that each President depicts. Lakoff's frame theory, on the other hand, constitutes the alternative chosen to analyze the worldviews conveyed in each message. The results show various correspondences and few between each Head of State. While Lagos, as it may be assumed, presents most of the traits of a liberal politician, the same can be said about Piñera.
