Abstract

This dissertation investigates 138 academic abstracts (theses and dissertations) on Discourse Analysis developed in the Midwest region of Brazil, defended between 2000 and 2010. The aim of this work is to understand what "discourse analysis" were underway in the first decade of this century, within the postgraduate programs of this Brazilian region. To achieve our purpose, it was used the Theses Database from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and, when necessary, we worked with data collected on the own programs involved. The goal was to map the works produced, the themes addressed, the theorists mobilized. Fundamentally, the research was conducted departing from the procedures of "Content Analysis" (BARDIN, 2011) for quantitative/qualitative treatment. Departing from the development of this research, we could realize that there is a growing increase of the theoretical and methodological knowledge in Discourse Analysis of French and Anglo-saxon strand in the Midwest region that results from the hard work and commitment of the researchers who have been consolidating and promoting the growth of this theoretical field constituted by social relationships manifested through speeches.
