This paper aims at the presentation of the results of research developed in the interface between Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Translation Studies onContext based Text Typology. The theoretical framework rests on the notion of “Socio Semiotic Activities” graphically represented by SocioSemiotic Activities proposed by Matthiessen, Wu and Teruya in 2007. First, a collection of data (texts from two blogs) inthe context of Brazilian Portuguese and American English Text Typology taken fromelectronic format is presented. Afterwords, the classification of the selected texts in terms of their Socio Semiotic Activities is exposed, followed by the analysis of transitivityaiming at the understanding of the relationship between Context based Text Typology and the grammatical different patterns of transitivity realized in different types of texts. Last, the results obtained from the analysis of the texts in Brazilian Portuguese (PB) and in American English (IA) are compared aiming at identifying differences and/or similarities in the text and the contextual configurations in the sets of texts produced in both languages. The unfoldings of this comparison will attempt to drawing a Socio-semiotic profile of the texts under study with a view at providing a framework for translators’ education in what regards the development of their bilingual/textual subcompetence.
