The article hereby intends to present an interface project between Corpus Linguistics and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in progress at the Pontifical Catholic University of RS. This project consists in the exploration, through a written corpus, of theses and dissertations in Linguistics from the Postgraduate Program in Letters of said institution of Higher Education, through software called ExATO (LOPES, 2012). From this tool produced in NLP, we can have in hand a series of linguistic resources that allow the continuation of our analysis, such as the detection of Concept Hierarchy, Extracted Term Lists, Concordance of Terms and Concepts Clouds in order to base a proposal of teaching of Portuguese as an Additional Language, with a view to the proficiency within the academic genre by non-Portuguese speakers. We bring a series of results already available by ExATO, which foment the discussion about the subjects visualized from the obtained data, as well as foment the necessary interdisciplinarity between Linguistics and Computer Science, as far as the description and explanation of the pragmatic bias of the LP on a large scale, within the limits of the university discursive register.
