RESUMOEsta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar os artigos científicos na área do secretariado executivo, por meio da análise das orações com processos verbais, formas verbais mais frequentes e dos padrões de uso, visando auxiliar estudantes, pesquisadores e profissionais de Secretariado Executivo em formação na produção de artigos científicos. Como fundamentação teórica foi utilizada a Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), que estuda a língua em uso e em diferentes contextos, desenvolvida por M. A.K Halliday (1985A.K Halliday ( , 1994
A STUDY OF VERBAL PROCESSES IN SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE GENDER IN JOURNALS OF EXECUTIVE SECRETARIAT: A PERSPECTIVE OF SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS.
ABSTRACTThis research aimed to investigate the scientific articles in the area of executive secretariat, through the of verbal processes, frequent verbal forms and patterns of use, to help students, researchers and professionals in training Executive Secretaries in producing scientific articles. As a theoretical basis, the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) was used, which studies language in use in different contexts -was developed by Halliday (1985Halliday ( , 1994 and reviewed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2004), among others.. From this perspective, the research considers the ideational metafunction, based on verbal processes (i.e. say), as the analysis category. With regard to the scientific study of genres, the research is based on Bhatia (1993), Swales (1989Swales ( , 1990, Swales & Feak (1999), Motta-Roth (1995, 2006 and others. The computational instrument WordSmith Tools 5.0 (Scott, 2009) was used to map on data starting by wordlisting and concordance, particular tools that allow patter identification. We studied 161 articles, in English, selected from three online magazines in the Executive Secretariat area, that area does not contain publications in Scielo yet. The results showed that the most frequent verbal processes were: mean, determine, highlight and affirm, and that the most frequent verb forms were: 3rd person singular, passive and infinitive. Furthermore, the identified patterns showed that some had no verbs function process and, speech high rates were reported.
