Silva, Paulo Nunes daSantos, Joana Vieira2019-09-182020-01-3120151647-0346http://hdl.handle.net/10400.2/8522The aim of the paper is to retrace the emergence of the academic genre Abstract through the analysis of the “Associação Portuguesa de Linguística” Proceedings (2001–2010). Following the framework of the “Interactionnisme Sociodiscursif” (Bronckart, 1996), the main assumptions are: (i) genre properties are unfolded through texts; and (ii) within a given period, texts belonging to different genres may share linguistic, social and illocutionary properties until a self-sustained genre emerges (Adam, 2001; Maingueneau, 1998). The analysis took into account the abstract dimension of genres, and the empirical dimension of texts within a 3-level model that includes genre parameters, mechanisms of textual realization and genre markers (Coutinho & Miranda 2009). Data shows that the Abstract shares properties with the Introduction of the paper it summarizes. Its emergence as an independent genre thus points to intertextual origins.porAbstractGéneroParâmetros de géneroMarcadores de géneroMecanismos de realização textualIntertextualidadeGenreParameters of genreMechanisms of textual realizationGenre markersIntertextualityjournal article
