ABSTRACT
This study intends to comprehend how the axiological positionsassumed by teachers-researchers while dialogging with the voices of theorists in the text and when discussing their object of research, constituting the textual structure of scientific papers produced in the Professional Master's Degree Program in Literature (ProfLetras) scope. For this purpose, starting from the hypothesis that when writing scientific papers, the axiological positions assumed by teachers-researchers are exposed by the construction of a critical sense, the elaboration of questions and when problematizing a saying, reflecting about classroom problems and dialogging with the theorists quoted in the text. This study presents as specific objectives: a) to analyze the mechanism of linguistic and discursive elements in the construction of the teacher-researcher voice; b) to understand the mechanism of these elements in discussions presented by the teacher-researcher concerning their object of research; and c) to understand how teachers-researchers dialog with the word of others, observing their positions. The theoretical and methodological assumptions used in the research involved, mainly, studies from the Bakhtin Circle (2002, 2012, 2016, 2017), specially regarding conceptions of language, dialogism and axiological positions, and Authier-Revuz (1998, 2004 e 2008) regarding the enunciative diversity. The corpus is constituted by six scientific papers produced by egresses of the ProfLetras and published in a scientific journal available in digital format. This research used the interpretive approach from the Indiciary Paradigm proposed by Ginzburg (1989) associated with the Text Linguistic Studies research line, presenting a qualitative nature. The results show that: a) in order to disseminate their axiological positions the teachers use different strategies, such as appealing to specialized discourses and those discourses daily disseminated in its context aiming to support the ideas advocated; b) when dialogging using the words of others prevail the accordance with the theorists mentioned in the text.
