Enunciative voices from non-scientific literatures in the writing of the Supervised Internship reports of language teachers

Abstract

In this research, we investigated the enunciative voices that emerge in the writing of the Supervised Internship reports produced by language teachers from users of citation practice from non-scientific literatures. We also analyzed others’ enunciative voices introduced by the citations identified in these reports and examining the contributions of linguistic structures that inscribe others and self in the statement. We used dialogical studies of language of the linguistic schemes of citation speech and Systemic Functional Linguistics works through the notion of Semantic System of Projection main theoretical apparatus to guide the investigation. The excerpts analyzed highlight the linguistic schemes of citation speech, the types of socio-semiotic processes involved in the system of projection and subsystems involved in the types of projection such as mode of projection, level of projection, the function of speech and the discursive function of these resources. We applied a qualitative research approach and the methodology of documentation to characterize the dataset investigated. The research results show us that citation practices from non-scientific literature are mobilized in the reports as if they have scientific authority and are manifested in utterances which present guidelines for action in the classroom; teaching how parents and teachers should act to educate; bringing examples of personal realization to show successful experience; leading the belief of the impossible ideal.
