The articulation of the theses and dissertations defended among themselves and in relation to the mission and purposes of the Graduate Program in Literature and Linguistics of Western Paraná State University, Unioeste (PPGL) is one of the evaluation parameters of the Brazilian graduate program used by CAPES. The objective of this article is to highlight how the studies defended from 2006 to 2022 in the areas of Sociolinguistics and Onomastics are related to the mission of the PPGL and to the lines of research “Language: linguistic, cultural and teaching practices" and "Study and description of linguistic, cultural and diversity phenomena". To achieve this objective, a systematic literature review was carried out through which 28 abstracts of theses and dissertations were selected. The terms present in the abstracts were analyzed qualitatively. The following textual clues were considered as indications of linkage: usage of the same term or set of terms in different abstracts and/or use of terms used in the texts of mission description and objectives of the Program and/or in the description of the lines and abstracts. The terminological analysis undertaken showed the link of most research to the mission of the PPGL focused on the academic, scientific, technological, and cultural development of the regions covered by the institution, considering linguistic, literary, cultural, and teaching phenomena and both lines of research. The existence of recurrence of terms used in the description of the mission and the description of the lines of research reveal terminological sharing between the abstracts and the mission of the program and of the following research niches in the second line of research also linked to the mission: the study of linguistic variation, the investigation of linguistic beliefs and attitudes and onomastic studies. While the niches reveal links between the research produced in the period, the sharing of terms points to the legacy of the set of investigations for the development of the mission and purposes of the program and for future theses and dissertations to be developed in it.
