Abstract

This contribution deals with the conceptualization of the coup d’État which comes up in the five speeches given by Allende on the morning of September 11, 1973. The conceptualizations of the Government, the Armed Forces and the relationship between both institutions are analyzed from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. The results show, firstly, the conceptualization of the Government as legitimate and defender of ideals that transcend the triumph of the coup; secondly, the conceptualization of the Armed Forces as an institution that abandons its institutional responsibility to defend the democratic government in favor of the conservative sectors; and, thirdly, the conceptualization of the coup as a process of deinstitutionalization of the Armed Forces and of the relationship between both institutions
