Resumo: This article analyses the transitivity system instantiated by the most frequent academic verbs in research papers in Brazilian Portuguese, based on the proposed division of vocabulary by Webb and Nation (2017) and Systemic-Functional Linguistics (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014). To achieve this purpose, a corpus of 12.3 million words was compiled, containing research papers from all eight Major Areas of knowledge, representing the different disciplines according to CNPq, so that there was sufficient variety of linguistic evidence to identify academic vocabulary. From preliminary results, these items were analysed from the perspective of Systemic-Functional Linguistics, in which we observed that the choices of types of processes, the configuration of the sentence and the participants, directly reflect the characteristics of the academic genre, specifically writing of research articles, such as impersonal writing, focus on research activities and procedures, and objectivity when reporting results. Thus, through the description of the transitivity system in frequent academic verbs, we expect to contribute to a deeper understanding of academic writing, in addition to advancing theoretical studies under different perspectives of analysis, based on real expositions of the language in use.

Para atingir tal propósito, compilou-se um corpus de 12,3 milhões de palavras, contendo artigos científicos de todas as oito Grandes Áreas do conhecimento do CNPq, representativos das diferentes Áreas de Avaliação, de modo a haver variedade de amostras linguísticas suficientes para identificar os lemas verbais acadêmicos. A partir desses resultados preliminares, seguiu-se a análise desses itens sob a perspectiva da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional. Nessa análise, observou-se que as escolhas dos tipos de processos, associados à configuração da sentença e aos tipos de participantes integrantes, refletem diretamente as características do gênero acadêmico, especificamente a escrita de artigos científicos, principalmente quanto à redação impessoal, ao maior foco nas atividades e nos procedimentos de pesquisa e à objetividade ao reportar análises e resultados. Desse modo, por meio da descrição do sistema da transitividade em verbos acadêmicos frequentes, esperou-se contribuir para uma compreensão mais aprofundada sobre a escrita acadêmica, além de avançar estudos teóricos sob diferentes perspectivas de análise com base em amostras reais da língua em uso.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2024-04-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciLangCult/article/view/6770610.4025/actascilangcult.v46i1.67706Acta Scientiarum.
