A constituição do discurso científico na escrita de monografias do curso de Letras

Abstract

In this work, we discuss the constitution of scientific discourse in the writing of monographs for the Literature course. To this end, we start from the following question: how does scientific discourse materialize in monographic texts that research the teaching of Portuguese? Thus, our general objective is to investigate the materialization of scientific discourse in monographic texts that research Portuguese language teaching. To achieve this, we had the specific objectives of identifying the linguistic-discursive elements present in monographic writing, verifying the presence of someone else's speech in monographic texts and analyzing the effects of meaning in the ways of using the theoretical concepts that underlie the monographs. The corpus consists of five monographs produced by undergraduates at a public university located in the interior of the state of Maranhão. To carry out this investigation, we used Foucault (2008) as a theoretical contribution; Fiorin (2022); Bronckart (2007); Authier-Revuz (2004), among others. Regarding methodological procedures, we adopted a qualitative approach, through a bibliographic study. In this way, we applied the interpretivist method in our analyses, with which it was possible to observe certain recurrences in the written productions analyzed, such as: the successive use of quotations from the same author; affirmative, opinionated positions, reformulation of other sayings and holding others accountable.
