Fake news have become a major problem in the modern world due to the fact that they are spread very quickly over the internet and influence many people in matters such as politics, economics, science and health. During the covid-19 pandemic, it was possible to observe how fake news can be harmful to society, leading to disbelief in vaccines on the part of many people and the use of ineffective medicines as a form of self-medication by the population. Thus, it is important to investigate linguistic characteristics of texts that promote disinformation to find patterns or clues that may lead to a greater understanding of how fake news are constructed. In this article, we try to present two linguistic strategies used in the construction of fake news in order to manipulate information.
