Conceptual Framework: According to Franquesa (2002), in discourse participants act on each other (Agent) (Recipient). - Agent: the one who performs an action. - Recipient : the one who receives the agent's action. These distinctions are basic to identify in discourse who did what, and to whom a certain action was intended. Methodology: The examples taken below are part of a research project called "Meanings and assessment of euphemisms associated with the armed conflict in a group of school children from Commune 18 in the city of Cali." The sample for the study consisted of 16 children between 8 and 12 years of age, whose parents gave written consent to be interviewed. Speech samples. Each child was read a news headline containing a euphemism and then the same news item without the euphemism; after reading the headline, they were asked, “What do you understand when you read a news item with that headline?” The following are the responses of two children and the analysis of their responses to the news items without the euphemism. NOTE: In the attached file appear an example of the analysis of discourses of two children
