This essay has the objective to discursively analyze the report of German immigrants descendants in Teófilo Otoni, by highlighting the methodological theoretical framework from Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999), as well as Fairclough’s reflections that emphasizes conjectures of how the speech fits into social life. To analyze the reports from the mentioned framework also calls for the remission to all socio-historical context in which the language as social practice also implies in a social moment that others represent themselves and their actions by bringing re-meanings. Thus, we present the German immigration in Brazil, in the Vale do Mucuri, especially in Teófilo Otoni-MG. Then, we discuss the social relationships that involve the dispossession of the immigrant territory and the construction of new territoriality. Finally, we present a critical discourse analysis, heading both the meanings proposed by Fairclough (2003). In the ational meaning, we focused on the gender report and on the inter-textual category, that allowed the identification of the voices articulated in the speech. In the representational meaning, we focused on the inter-speech category when we could see cooperation and/or competition speeches. In the identificational meaning, we highlighted the category as well as the evaluation, from when we could see representations of legitimized identities and resistance. Also, we identified traits that gift the language values held by the German immigrants descendants, when related to work and above all, to religion.
