Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / A evidencialidade à uma categoria linguÃstica que diz respeito à fonte das informaÃÃes veiculadas e, nessa indicaÃÃo, està tambÃm relacionada com estratÃgias de (des) comprometimento do enunciador com tais informaÃÃes. No intuito de investigar a manifestaÃÃo dessa categoria na construÃÃo dos trabalhos acadÃmicos de grau do portuguÃs brasileiro contemporÃneo, a pesquisa objetiva: a) rediscutir o estatuto da evidencialidade como categoria linguÃstica; b) analisar as relaÃÃes entre modalidade e evidencialidade; c) verificar as estratÃgias utilizadas no uso das marcas de evidencialidade nas monografias, dissertaÃÃes e teses; d) identificar, descrever e analisar as marcas linguÃsticas evidenciais nos trabalhos cientÃficos em foco; e) relacionar o uso de evidenciais com estratÃgias para efeito de (des)comprometimento na construÃÃo textual. Ao identificar e interpretar as marcas evidenciais na construÃÃo dos textos acadÃmicos, a pesquisa busca contribuir para a explicitaÃÃo dos efeitos de sentido vinculados à veiculaÃÃo das informaÃÃes de forma estratÃgica, jà que essas marcas sÃo utilizadas com propÃsitos diversificados, como, por exemplo, o recurso ao chamado âargumento de autoridadeâ, a atenuaÃÃo da responsabilidade em relaÃÃo ao que à dito, a modalizaÃÃo no contÃnuo entre a certeza e a nÃo-certeza, sugerindo um grau de comprometimento em relaÃÃo à verdade da proposiÃÃo, bem como um posicionamento crÃtico em relaÃÃo a ela. A anÃlise, orientada por pressupostos funcionalistas, conta com uma dimensÃo teÃrica, voltada para a rediscussÃo dos limites conceituais entre as categorias modalidade e evidencialidade; e uma dimensÃo analÃtica, que, em constante diÃlogo com a teoria, investiga, qualitativa e quantitativamente, o uso de marcas da evidencialidade nas monografias, dissertaÃÃes e teses. A escolha desses gÃneros textuais para a constituiÃÃo do corpus justifica-se pela suposiÃÃo de que apresentam uma maior quantidade de informaÃÃo cuja fonte nÃo à o prÃprio autor, o que condiciona o uso das marcas de evidencialidade na relaÃÃo observÃvel com o grau de comprometimento do produtor relativamente à informaÃÃo veiculada. A obtenÃÃo das 1500 ocorrÃncias para esta pesquisa concretizou-se a partir da organizaÃÃo de um corpus constituÃdo por trinta trabalhos acadÃmicos de grau (dez monografias, dez dissertaÃÃes e dez teses), dos quais foi utilizado um recorte como material de anÃlise, selecionando-se a introduÃÃo, um capÃtulo de fundamentaÃÃo teÃrica e a conclusÃo. Os dados obtidos foram analisados segundo as seguintes categorias: a) os meios linguÃsticos de expressÃo da evidencialidade no discurso acadÃmico que envolve a produÃÃo textual da monografia, da dissertaÃÃo e da tese foram especificados em relaÃÃo ao tipo de marca evidencial (item lexical ou gramatical - verbo, substantivo, adjetivo, advÃrbio, preposiÃÃo; enunciado metadiscursivo, justaposiÃÃo simples, normas citativas da ABNT; e à posiÃÃo de tal marca em relaÃÃo à fonte (anteposta, intercalada, posposta); b) os tipos de noÃÃes evidenciais caracterizadoras do aspecto semÃntico, a fonte da informaÃÃo (sujeito-enunciador, fonte externa definida, fonte externa indefinida, domÃnio comum); o acesso evidencial (direto, menos direto, indireto); a natureza evidencial da informaÃÃo (subjetiva, experiencial, inferencial, relatada); c) os aspectos pragmÃtico-discursivos, ou seja, os efeitos de sentido na construÃÃo da argumentaÃÃo relacionados à expressÃo do alto, mÃdio ou baixo comprometimento com o que està sendo informado. Predominou, na construÃÃo dos trÃs gÃneros de trabalhos acadÃmicos de grau, o efeito de baixo comprometimento, sendo a diferenÃa entre alto e baixo comprometimento aproximadamente a mesma nos trÃs gÃneros. Quanto aos aspectos semÃnticos, predominou a fonte externa definida, indireta e relatada, manifestada por meio de verbos dicendi, que se intercalam entre a fonte e o conteÃdo asseverado. / Evidentiality is a linguistic category related to the source of informations and also to strategies of commitment degrees of the author with these informations. With the intent of investigating the manifestation of that category in the construction of academic degree works in contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, this research aims to: a) re-discuss the status of evidentiality as a linguistic category; b) analyze the relations between modality and evidentiality; c) examine the strategies employed in the use of evidentiality marks in the monographs, dissertations and theses; d) identify, describe and analyze the evidential linguistic marks in the scientific works in focus; e) relate the use of evidentials to strategies for compromise effect in textual construction. By identifying and interpreting the evidential marks in the construction of academic texts, this research seeks to contribute to express explicitly the meaning effects linked to the transmitting of information strategically, since these marks are used for diverse purposes, such as resorting to the so-called "authority argumentâ, attenuation of liability in relation to what is said, modalization in the continuum between certainty and non-certainty, suggesting a degree of commitment in relation to the truth of the proposition, also a critical positioning in relation to the proposition. This analysis, guided by functionalist assumptions, has a theoretical dimension, aimed at re-discussion of the conceptual boundaries between modality and evidentiality categories, and an analytical dimension, which, in constant dialogue with the theory, researches in a qualitative and quantitative way the use of evidentiality marks in monographs, dissertations and theses. The choice of these text genres for the corpus constitution is justified by the assumption that they present a greater amount of information whose source is not the author himself, conditioning the use of evidentiality marks in the observable relationship with the degree of commitment of the author related to the information conveyed. The acquisition of 1500 instances for this research came true from the organization of a corpus consisting of thirty academic degree (ten monographs, ten dissertations and ten theses), which was used as a cut-off for analysis: introduction, one chapter of theoretical discussions and conclusion. Data were analyzed according to these categories: the type of mark evidential (lexical or grammar item â verb, noun, adjective, adverb, preposition; metadiscursive statement, simple juxtaposition, quotatives marks of ABNT) and the position of such mark in relation to source (before, between, after); b) the types of concepts characteristic of the evidential semantics are described, the source of information (the utterer, defined external source, undefined external source, common domain); the evidential access (direct, less direct, undirect); the nature of evidential information (subjective, experiential, inferential, reported); c) the pragmatical and discursive aspects, that is, the effects of meaning associated with the construction of the arguments in that concerns to the expression of high, medium or low commitment to what is being reported. In three genres of academic degree, the low commitment was more frequent and the differences between high and low commitment is nearly the same in these genres. Regarding to semantic aspects, the external, indirect and reported source was the most frequent, explicit by dicendi verbs, that appear between the source and the contend asserted.

4 Abstract The present thesis focused on the differences in the usage of hedging in research articles of native speakers of Czech writing in English and native speakers of English. Hedging is considered to be a fundamental part of any academic text ensuring that the results and outcomes of one's research are successfully communicated to its intended audience. The main aim was to discover, by analysing the most heavily hedged, concluding sections of research articles, how the native Czech speakers employ hedging in comparison to native English speaking authors and if they project features typical for Czech academic discourse into their work written in English. The most important outcome of the results of this study is the observation that one of the most salient features of Czech academic discourse, which is the low degree of authorial presence and interactivity of the text, does significantly influence the way the Czech authors present the outcomes of their research in English. This is evidenced by the significant difference in the frequency of the reader-oriented hedging strategies in the NCS corpus.

This thesis aims at providing a literature review of the academic debate regarding the use of childhood iconography in the humanitarian sector. This topic is not new and has been broadly discussed by academics since decades. Therefore, by using the alreadyexisting literature on the subject, this paper provides an in-depth understanding of the main arguments and controversies that have been made regarding the use of such images in the humanitarian field. In order to do so, it analyzes two famous pictures which produced considerable discussion in the research field: “The Struggling Girl” taken by Kevin Carter in South Sudan, in 1993 and “Alan Kurdi” photographed on a Turkish beach by Nilüfer Demir, in 2015. Overall, the study of the discourses generated by these two photographs exemplifies the diverging opinions of scholars on the topic and sheds light on the power relations and stigmas that persist within the humanitarian sector.

The subject of the present study is a comparison of two postmodifying constructions in noun phrases - finite relative adnominal clauses with the subject gap and nonfinite participial clauses - in spoken academic discourse: natural and social science. The comparison is based on the fact that both constructions realize the same clause element, i.e. a postmodifier in a noun phrase. The aim of the present study is thus to present major characteristics and functions of finite relative clauses and their reduced counterparts with respect to their distribution across the two subregisters of spoken academic discourse. The study is divided into three main parts: the theoretical background (Chapter 2) which defines the major characteristics and functions of the two postmodifying constructions and their mutual relationship, as are presented in the literature; the main part (Chapters 3 and 4) which provides the analysis of finite relative clauses and participial postmodifiers; and conclusion in Chapter 5.

This Master's thesis deals with the gerund and -ing participial clauses in written and spoken academic texts. The theoretical part defines the academic discourse and non-finite verb forms. Gerund and -ing participial constructions are further described regarding their forms and syntactic functions. The sources used for the research part are two corpora of contemporary academic British English: BASE and BAWE. BASE corpus contains transcripts of academic lectures. BAWE corpus is a collection of university-level students' writings. Both corpora contain texts from four different genres and moreover students' assignments are divided into four levels of study. For the purpose of the research part of our thesis, only the genre "Arts and Humanities" and the highest level of study will be taken into account. The practical part analyses the frequency of gerund and -ing participial clauses, frequency of verbs occurring in these constructions and collocations of these verbs. A detailed analysis aims at studying 100 sentences from written texts and 100 sentences from academic lectures. This sample is examined regarding the internal structure of each non-finite clause and its syntactic function. The final section summarizes the results or our research.

[pt] Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo estudar a redação de vestibular enquanto gênero discursivo, visando caracterizar sua estrutura textual e enfocá-lo como um processo social dentro do contexto pedagógico. Buscando embasamento teórico na lingüística sistêmico-funcional (Halliday, 1994, Martin, 1989), nos estudos de gênero (Marchuschi, 2002) e em teorias de argumentação (Perelman, 1993, Breton, 1998), coletou-se um corpus de 135 redações, selecionadas de acordo com as notas a elas atribuídas. Os textos foram escritos por candidatos a cursos de diferentes áreas de três instituições de ensino superior, duas públicas e uma particular, localizadas em diferentes Estados do país. Como parte da análise foram observados os parâmetros de configuração textual do gênero através da identificação de tipos textuais e da descrição de estruturas argumentativas presentes nos textos. A redação de vestibular foi também estudada em termos de processos sociais, a partir da análise da sua relação com o contexto sócio-histórico e do uso de marcas de subjetividade e identidade discursivas presentes nos textos. A análise possibilitou ainda a caracterização do gênero estudado face ao discurso acadêmico, situando-o em uma esfera mais ampla, ou seja, partindo de sua materialização nos textos e relacionando-o ao contexto acadêmico. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que os candidatos utilizam em suas redações diferentes tipos textuais, bem como diversos tipos de argumentos, sendo freqüentes as narrativas e os argumentos que indicam afetividade. Estas características, bem como o uso recorrente de um esquema simplificado de argumentação, o uso constante explicitação do contexto (Biber, 1988, Oliveira, 2002) e o uso pouco constante de nominalizações que possibilitam a expressão de idéias abstratas em detrimento de processos, expressos por verbos que retratam ações (Halliday,1994), parecem contribuir para a caracterização dos textos como pouco acadêmicos, frustrando as expectativas dos avaliadores, e levando-os a serem avaliados pelas bancas como pouco eficientes. Por outro lado, o uso de argumentos criativos, dotados de humor e considerados como eficientes, bem como o uso reduzido de marcas de subjetividade demonstram estarem os textos em consonância com exigências do discurso acadêmico. Esta pesquisa, portanto, mostra ser esse um gênero que apresenta ao mesmo tempo vários movimentos constitutivos inerentes ao discurso acadêmico e aspectos dissonantes, típicos de um texto não acadêmico, sendo por isso relevante o estudo de sua caracterização discursiva e papel social, com vistas ao ensino de escrita no contexto pedagógico brasileiro. / [en] The objective of this research is to study university composition entrance examinations as a discourse genre, in order to characterize its textual structure and to examine it as a social process in the pedagogic context. Theoretical aspects of systemic-functional linguistics (Halliday, 1994, Martin, 1989), genre studies (Marchuschi, 2002) and argumentation principles (Perelman, 1993, Breton, 1998) were applied to a corpus of 135 assignments. The texts, selected according to a range of grade variation, were written in Portuguese by applicants for courses of several areas from three universities located in different Brazilian states, two public institutions and a private one. As part of the analysis, textual configuration parameters were observed through the identification of the use of text types and argumentative structures found in the compositions. The analysis also aimed at the characterization of that particular genre in terms of academic discourse, leading it beyond its materialization in texts into the wider perspective of its relationship with the academic context. Research results show that applicants use different text types in their assignments, as well as several kinds of arguments, narratives being frequent as well as arguments with some emotional appeal. These characteristics, as well as the recurrent use of an oversimplified argumentative scheme and constant context explicitation (Biber, 1988, Oliveira, 2002) and with the constant use of nominalizations that refer to abstract ideas rather than processes, expressed through verbal forms that refer to actions (Halliday, 1994), point towards academic discourse. seem to contribute towards the characterization of these texts as not totally fitting academic discourse, thus frustrating examiners´ expectations and being evaluated by the committees as inadequate, due to lack of efficiency. On the other hand, the use of creative and humorous arguments, which are considered efficient, with reduced use of subjectivity marks also demonstrate that the texts analyzed are in accordance with the requirements of the academic context. Therefore, this research leads into the conclusion that university composition entrance examinations show both constitutive aspects inherent to academic discourse and also some dissonant characteristics typical of nonacademic texts. These results reinforce the need for the discursive characterization of this genre and its study as a social process in the Brazilian pedagogic context.

Durant ces dernières années, le terme terrorisme djihadiste est devenu un vocable des plus récurrents au niveau international. Il est fortement présent dans le discours académique, ce particulièrement depuis l'apparition de ce qu'on appelle l'organisation de l'État islamique (Daesh) et également des attaques terroristes qui se sont succédé. Notre étude aborde, en première partie, les approches qui traitent du terrorisme ainsi que les facteurs qui ont été à l’origine de la propagation de ce phénomène et de l'extrémisme. La seconde partie est consacrée à l’analyse des discours académiques ayant traité des attentats terroristes en France en 2015/2016. Notre thèse tend à mettre en avant une approche analytique opérationnelle à travers l'utilisation de méthodes quantitatives. Nous nous proposons ainsi de prolonger la recherche actuelle en abordant plusieurs innovations méthodologiques relatives à l’analyse du discours universitaire sur le djihad afin d’en déterminer les similitudes et les différences, selon une approche multidisciplinaire et par une enquête analytique dans l’objectif d’en caractériser les relations et d’en expliquer la conjoncture. Il sera alors question de se demander s’il s’agit d’éléments spécifiques ou de la combinaison d’un ensemble d’éléments, présents dans une structure particulière, qui marginalisent ou criminalisent certains types de discours classés dans la catégorie du discours universitaire sur le djihad / In recent years, the term jihadist terrorism has become a term of recurrent at the international level. He is present in the academic discourse, this particularly since the appearance of what is called the Organization of the Islamic state (Daech) and the successive terrorist attacks. Our study first addresses the approaches that deal with terrorism as well as the factors that have led to the spread of this phenomenon and extremism. The second part is dedicated to the analysis of academic discourses dealing with terrorist attacks in France in 2015/2016. Our thesis tends to put forward an operational analytical approach through the use of quantitative methods. We propose to extend the current research by addressing several methodological innovations related to the analysis of the academic jihad discourse in order to determine the similarities and differences, using a multidisciplinary approach and an analytical survey with the aim of characterize the relationships and explain the situation. It will therefore be a question of whether they are specific elements or the combination of a set of elements in a particular structure that marginalizes or criminalizes certain types of discourse classed as academic discourse about jihad

Devant des exigences universitaires, notamment méthodologiques, discursives, linguistiques et culturelles, étrangers et natifs sont concernés proportionnellement par ces exigences. Pour le natif, la question sera posée en termes d’adaptation méthodologique et discursive à une institution supérieure au lycée au sein du même système éducative. Tandis que pour l’étranger, il sera question d’acculturation au système, aux discours et à la culture, universitaires d’un système et d’une langue différents des siens. Faire des études supérieures en langue étrangère dépasse les jeux de simulation et faire semblant, puisque les travaux rendus feront l’objet d’une notation et d’évaluation qui conditionne la réussite ou qui causent l’échec. L’étudiant est amené à maitriser différents genres de discours par lesquels il apprend et il est évalué. Le but est de former les étudiants aux savoir-faire académiques que peuvent les aider à acquérir des savoirs spécialisés dans leurs disciplines. L’objectif est de créer chez les étudiants des habilités discursives qui leur permettront « d’intégrer différentes manières dont s’élabore et se transmet le savoir à l’université, et de déceler les spécificités des discours qu’ils fréquentent » (POLLET M-C., 2001, P : 32). Pour ce faire, des dispositifs ont été mis en œuvre comme le « tutorat » ou la « méthodologie du travail universitaire ». Mais, face aux flux des étudiants étrangers et la nécessité de répondre à leurs besoins universitaires, un nouveau concept est né, et petit à petit a commencé à gagner du terrain dans les milieux didactiques, c’est le FOU. Un programme de FOU consiste à explorer les pratiques langagières par lesquelles le savoir circule à l’université. Puis d’essayer d’établir une typologie de différents genres. Ensuite, de dégager des dimensions enseignables conçues sous le principe de la transversalité ou au contraire basée sur la spécificité des genres de chaque discipline / To academic requirements, including methodological, discursive, linguistic and cultural, foreign and native are affected proportionally by these requirements. For the native, the question will be asked in terms of methodological and discursive adaptation to a higher institution to school within the same educational system. Whereas abroad it will issue acculturation to the system, speech and culture, a university system and a different language of his own. Pursue higher education in a foreign language beyond the simulation games and pretend, as the work submitted will be subject to a rating and evaluation that determines the success or cause failure. The student must master different genres of speech by which he learns and is evaluated. The goal is to train students in academic skills that can help them acquire specialized knowledge in their disciplines. The aim is to create in students discursive skills that will enable them to "integrate different ways to develop and transmit knowledge to the university, and to identify specific speeches they attend" (MC POLLET . 2001, P: 32). To do this, devices have been implemented as "mentoring" or "methodology of academic work." But, facing the flow of foreign students and the need to meet their academic needs, a new concept was born, and gradually began to gain ground in educational circles, the frensh for academics purpose. A academic purpose program is to explore the language practices by which knowledge flows university. Then try to establish a typology of different genres. Then, to identify teachable dimensions designed under the principle of cross or otherwise based on the specific kinds of each discipline

In order to investigate the manifestation of this category in the construction of academic dissertations written in contemporary Brazilian Portuguese, this work aims to: a) rediscuss the status of the evidentiality as a linguistic category; b) analyse the relationship between modality and evidentiality; c) verify the strategies used to indicate evdentiality in scientific works such as dissertations; d) identify, describe and analyse linguistic marks of evidentiality in such works; e) relate the use of evidentials to strategies of (un)commitment in the production of a text. Though the identification of evidentiality marks in academic texts, this work aims to contribute to explicit the sense effects related to the strategic transmition of information, since these marks are used with different purposes, like: use of the authority argument, reduction of responsibility in relation to what is being said; certainty/uncertainty modalization, suggesting that something is being said in a non-categorical way, suggesting a certain degree of (un)commitment in relation to the truth of the proposition, as well as showing a critical position in relation to the source of information, allowing a correct evaluation of the content taken in by the reader; among other purposes. The analysis, based on functionalist presuppositions, rediscusses the conceptual limits between modality and evidentiality. It investigates, in terms of both quality and quantity, the use of evidentiality marks in academic dissertations. This genre was chosen due to the supposition that it is one of the textual genres whose source of information is mostly not the author himself. This fact influences the use of evidentiality marks in relation to the degree of the producer’s (un)commitment to the information provided. The 290 ocurrencies were collected from a corpus which comprises 10 academic dissertations in Humanity Studies. Only the introduction and the conclusion sections of these Works were considered. The results showed that the sense effects are associated to the use of evidentiality expressions in the kind of argumentation process in dissertations. This proves that the evidentiality in the academic discourse, particularly in the corpus collected, is used especially to assure a lower degree of commitment, being the verb the linguistic means most chosen to express this, and the inferential and quotative evidentiality notions as the most frequent ones. / A evidencialidade é uma categoria lingüística utilizada como estratégia que permite a manipulação das informações quanto à fonte do conhecimento e ao grau de (des)comprometimento do produtor com essa fonte. No intuito de investigar a manifestação dessa categoria na construção das dissertações acadêmicas no português brasileiro contemporâneo, objetiva-se: a) rediscutir o estatuto da evidencialidade como categoria lingüística; b)analisar as relações entre modalidade e evidencialidade; c) verificar as estratégias utilizadas no uso das marcas de evidencialidade no trabalho científico de grau, do tipo dissertação; d) identificar, descrever e analisar as marcas lingüísticas evidenciais no trabalho científico de grau do tipo dissertação; e) relacionar o uso de evidenciais com estratégias para efeito de (des)comprometimento na construção textual. Ao identificar e interpretar as marcas evidenciais na construção dos textos acadêmicos, a pesquisa busca contribuir para a explicitação dos efeitos de sentido vinculados à veiculação das informações de forma estratégica, já que essas marcas são utilizadas com propósitos diversificados, como por exemplo: recurso ao chamado “argumento de autoridade”, atenuação da responsabilidade em relação ao que é dito, modalização no contínuo entre a certeza e a não-certeza, sinalizando que algo não está sendo dito de forma categórica e sugerindo um grau de (des)comprometimento em relação à verdade da proposição, como também um posicionamento crítico em relação à fonte da informação, permitindo uma correta avaliação do conteúdo assimilado pelo leitor, dentre outros. A análise, orientada por pressupostos funcionalistas, conta com uma dimensão teórica, voltada para a rediscussão dos limites conceituais entre as categorias modalidade e evidencialidade, e uma dimensão analítica, que, em constante diálogo com a teoria, investiga, qualitativa e quantitativamente, o uso de marcas da evidencialidade na dissertação acadêmica, trabalho que é requisito para a obtenção do título de mestre. A escolha do gênero para a constituição do corpus justifica-se pela suposição de que esse é um dos gêneros textuais que apresenta maior quantidade de informação cuja fonte não é o próprio autor, o que condiciona o uso das marcas de evidencialidade na relação observável com o grau de (des)comprometimento do produtor relativamente à informação veiculada. A obtenção das 290 ocorrências para esta pesquisa concretizou-se a partir da organização de um corpus constituído por dez dissertações acadêmicas da área de Ciências Humanas, das quais se utilizaram, como material de análise, a introdução e a conclusão. Os resultados obtidos verificaram os efeitos de sentido associados ao uso de meios de expressão evidencial na construção da argumentação em dissertações, comprovando que a evidencialidade no discurso acadêmico, em particular no corpus coletado, é mais utilizada para promover um baixo comprometimento, tendo o verbo como o meio lingüístico mais utilizado e as noções evidenciais inferencial e citativa como as mais freqüentes.

The methodology which has guided the formation of the corpus of this work follows the paradigm of ethnographic research interpretative basis by taking into consideration the fact that in discursive events in the classroom, these activities take place as a trait of a social situation that includes the values, rules, meanings, attitudes and behavior of the interacting subjects. From this perspective, the data contained in our analysis area result of i) audio recordings of classes; ii) interviews with students and teachers; iii) the students written production; and iv) official documents. The data from the observation of classes, the reading and written production of the students, were collected from the subjects ―Aviculture‖, ―Management and Conservation of the Soil‖, ―Basic Fundamentals of the Soil, Plants and Atmosphere‖ , which are central to the modular organization of the Course in Agriculture and Livestock Farming into two large areas: animal husbandry and agriculture. In this context, the following objectives were established: 1)examine in the interactive events in the classroom, those listening/ reading and writing that can promote the inclusion of students to scientific discourse genres; 2) examine the conditions given by teachers to students to take ownership of the linguistic/discursive resources in academic-scientific genres; 3) analyze written texts ―abstract‖, ―account‖ and ―research‖ effectively produced by the students in situations referred by teachers. The theoretical foundation for this analytical process has been based on the theoretical proposals of Bakhtin and his Circle, as the philosophical thinking of these authors provides a base to articulate the different positions of subjects who act in real and concrete communicative situations. Informed by the data set results point to the inconsistency of an educational project in vocational technical course, sustained by ideologies of technical rationality and economic market economy, linked to a notion of language conceived as structure and text as one truth and universal. In dialogic situations of knowledge construction in the events of the lesson, the teachers of specific subjects think of reading / listening activities as object recognition / identification of scientific content through didatizados texts identified as handouts. When requesting writing in academic genres "abstract" production "account" and "research" by the mediation of texts of wide and narrow scientific education teachers use instructional procedures nonspecific, assuming that the student is a reader able to reconstruct the intention of the authors of the texts they read, informed only by the linguistic dimension.

A metodologia que orienta a constituição do corpus segue o paradigma das pesquisas etnográficas de base interpretativista por considerar que nos eventos discursivos de sala de aula, essas atividades interlocutivas realizam-se como uma situação de interação social escolar/acadêmica que inclui valores, regras, significados atitudes e comportamento dos sujeitos em práticas pedagógicas de comunicação oral e escrita. Nessa perspectiva, os dados de nossas análises resultaram de: i) gravações de aulas; ii) entrevistas com alunos e professores; iii) produções escritas dos alunos; e iv) documentos oficiais. Os dados de observação das aulas, a leitura e a produção escrita dos alunos foram coletados nos componentes curriculares ―Avicultura‖, ―Manejo e conservação do Solo‖, ―Fundamentos Básicos de solo, Água, Planta e Atmosfera‖, que centralizam a organização modular do Curso em Agropecuária. Nesse sentido, estabelecemos os seguintes objetivos: 1) analisar, nos eventos interativos da aula, as atividades de escuta/leitura/escrita que podem promover a inserção dos alunos nos gêneros do discurso científico; 2) examinar as condições dadas pelos professores para que os alunos se apropriem dos recursos linguísticos/ discursivos nos gêneros acadêmico-científicos; 3) analisar os textos escritos ―resumo‖, ―relato‖ e ―trabalho de pesquisa‖, efetivamente produzidos pelos alunos em situações de produção encaminhadas pelos docentes. Os pressupostos teóricos que subsidiam as análises são orientados pela proposta dialógica da linguagem nos discursos de Bakhtin e seu Círculo, por encontrar no pensamento filosófico dos autores, as bases sócio-históricas e ideológicas para articular as diferentes posições dos sujeitos que agem em situações reais e concretas de comunicação. Os resultados informados pelo conjunto dos dados apontam para a inconsistência de um projeto educacional em curso técnico profissionalizante, sustentado por ideologias da racionalidade técnica e da economia do mercado econômico, vinculadas a uma noção de linguagem concebida como estrutura e de texto como uma verdade única e universal. Nas situações dialógicas de construção do conhecimento nos eventos da aula, os docentes de disciplinas específicas concebem a leitura/escrita como atividades objetivas de reconhecimento/identificação de conteúdos científicos, através de textos didatizados identificados como apostilas. Ao solicitar a produção escrita nos gêneros acadêmicos ―resumo‖, ―relato‖ e ―trabalho de pesquisa‖ pela mediação de textos de divulgação científica ampla e restrita, os professores utilizam procedimentos instrucionais inespecíficos, supondo que o aluno é um leitor capaz de reconstituir a intenção dos autores nos textos que leem, informados apenas pela dimensão linguística. Ao produzirem as paráfrases dos textos lidos, os alunos ficam impedidos de se constituir como voz autorizada para dizer a sua palavra e construir um novo propósito para o seu projeto de textualização.
