This research aims to study, based on French Discourse Analysis, some Brazilian versions, sung in Portuguese, of English-language songs. The problematization of the analysis is motivated by a recurrent qualitative and stylistic attribution: even though melodies are the same, these versions are generally qualified and classified, in a pejorative sense, as brega eventually tecnobrega or breganejo , while the English-language songs, melodic bases of the Brazilian ones, are almost unanimously classified as rock songs. With this in mind, I aim to investigate the conditions of production and the singularities in the emergence of this kind of variation in stylistic attribution, analyzing statements produced by the reception of these cultural products. Besides considering melodies and lyrics, it is also important to apprehend aspects that are raised in the reception of these songs, given that this panorama is constituted by classificatory operators and by rules that determine possible enunciations within certain discursive formations. In the phonographic industry, meaning effects are not only produced by lyrics; for this reason, it is fundamental to investigate other materialities that constitute the surroundings of these musical productions, like album covers, for example. I base my hypothesis on the idea that the determination of status in music is not a mere identification of intrinsic aspects of the songs, like the supposed quality of the melody or quality of the lyrics . This determination is fundamentally related to social and historic aspects that constitute a network of statements about these cultural products. The theoretical basis of this work consists mainly in the conceptualization of statement in accordance with The Archeology of Knowledge by Michel Foucault ([1969] 2000). I also contemplate some studies by Michel Pêcheux ([1975] 1997; [1983] 2002), especially reflections about concepts such as discursive subject, pre-constructed and meaning effects.
