RESUMO

The Critical Discourse Analysiss theoretical and methodological framework is employed to investigate as its primordial aim and within a linguistic and discursive perspective the argumentation in texts, focused on female issues, produced for the Plenary Session of the peoples representatives in the Brazilian National Congress. Analysis is imbued with social gender and textual genre aspects. The ways the feminine emerges in thirty discourses, written by male and female parliamentary representatives, comprise its main interest and constitute the researchs textual corpus. Besides revealing the argumentative techniques and the discursive strategies proper to the above-mentioned discursive genre, current research evidences the role of linguistic and discursive categories within which references to the feminine social milieu may be found. Investigation puts in the limelight the manner male and female political representatives present the feminine gender in parliamentary discursive practice. Analyses that integrate discourses social theory, such as those by Fairclough (2003) through the functional grammar by Halliday (1994), have shown that linguistic and discursive categories actually help in the understanding of ideological positions proposed by male and female parliamentary representatives within the social and cultural context in which they are produced. Research shows that parliamentary discursive practice is affected by the institutional context in which the discourses are produced. All factors dealing with the feminine social milieu is a useful tool in parliamentary activities. However, feminine parliamentary discourse reveals that women, participating in the political field, have contributed towards the transformation of the convention structures that underlie concrete discursive events. Contrastingly from their peers, in their discourses females present themselves under the guise of their concrete existential conditions.
