Resumo: The objective of the present article is to identify and discuss the possibilities of using qualitative data analysis software in the framework of procedures proposed by SDI (socio-discursive interactionism), emphasizing free distribuited software or free versions of commercial software. A literature review of software for qualitative data analysis in the area of social sciences and humanities, focusing on language studies is presented. Some tools, such as: WeftQDA, MLCT, Yoshikoder and Tropes are examined with their respective features and functions. The software called Tropes is examined in more detail because of its particular relation with language and semantic analysis, as well as its embeded classification of linguistic elements such as, types of verbs, adjectives, modalizations, etc. Although trying to completely automate an SDI based analysis is not feasible, the programs appear to be powerful helpers in analyzing specific questions. Still, it seems important to be familiar with software options and use different applications in order to obtain a more diversified vision of the data. It is up to the researcher to be critical of the analysis provided by the machine. Key words: qualitative data analysis, software, text analysis, discourse analysis, sociodiscursive interactionism, CAQDA.

Faz-se uma revisão da literatura sobre o uso de software para análise de dados qualitativos na área das ciências sociais e humanas, com foco especial na área de estudos da linguagem. Destacam- se as funções oferecidas por algumas ferramentas entre elas, WeftQDA, MLCT, Yoshikoder e Tropes. Dentre esses, detalha-se o Tropes por suas funções relativas a análise semântica e de elementos lingüísticos, tais como tipos de verbo, modalizações, etc. Embora a tentativa de automatizar uma análise inteiramente baseada nos procedimentos do ISD seja inviável em termos absolutos, os programas mostram-se poderosos auxiliares para a análise de questões específicas. Parece importante ainda conhecer e utilizar diferentes programas para se obter uma visão diversificada sobre os dados analisados. Cabe ao pesquisador ser crítico da análise produzida pelo computador.
