Os gêneros "desgenerizados": discursos na pesquisa sobre espanhol no Brasil

in a communication corpus presented in middle-sized congresses in brazil focusing the spanish language, we have selected those which approach genre issues designated "discoursive " and/or "textual". we found that most of them seem to deal with teaching issues. we investigated four issues in those oral presentations: which theoretical articulation is the basis for the work, if it considers or not the peculiarities of a foreign language, if it includes a specific genre as an object for discussion and, in those cases which include it, how this genre or the utterances which represent it relate with other enunciations or different discourse features. we found a disregard for properties which, within the theoretical frameworks mentioned, seem to be central in genre issues, along with an abandonment of the linguistic-discursive materiality as a matter for studies.
