A subjetividade na construção de significados: uma análise da escrita de artigos de pesquisa

Abstract

Recent researches on reading and writing as social processes reveal that the elaboration and comprehension of meanings is realized throu interaction between subjects in the contextos where they live. In this sense, the academic discourses, in special, textual written genres are ways of acting in the world through language in a social historic moment. The understanding of writing as situated social practice involves among several aspects ‘the subjectivity of the writer’ in the production of academic texts. The aim of this paper is to examine the student-writer’s subjectivity in opposition to the conventionalized voices of the dominant scientific discourses in research articles written by Brazilian graduation students of applied linguistics. The results point out that the writers´subjectivity is present in the analised articles in opposition to the dominant academic discourse and they reveal how these writers construct their social identities through language.
