ABSTRACT

The goal of this communication is to present the research I develop at “Programa de Pósgraduação em Lingüística Aplicada” at Unisinos University, with the aim of analyzing Informed
Consent texts (TCLE), used at the referring of research projects to Ethics Committees’ evaluations, concerning to the Resolution 196/96. This kind of study is relevant because of the research community’s needs of knowing how to elaborate those texts in a clear and cohesive way, so that people are able to understand them. To the study, 10 texts of three different institutions are being analyzed, and all of them have been sent to the institutions’ Ethics Committees. This material is being analyzed in three different moments, and it is based on Jean Paul Bronckart’s ideas (1999), which understand the text organization as a leaf with three layers. The first moment is about the general structure of the text, which has the following parameters: the TCLE thematic, predominant kind of discourse, presented textual sequences, joint between these sequences; the second is about the analyses of the texts mechanisms, where the parameters thematic coherence, nominal and verbal cohesion, as well as logical-time connection are being considered. Finally, the third moment analyzes the statement mechanisms to verify the presented voices and modes. Our aim with the development of this research is to characterize the gender TCLE and that way contributing to facilitate the writing of these kinds of texts.
Key words: gender; consent term; text leaf.
