RESUMO

This thesis presents a study on the discursive construction of identities in a corpus of 54 personal web pages of women retrieved from the Internet. Following the theoretical perspectives of the field of language and gender research, gender is taken to be fluid, co-constructed in and through discourse in communicative events, socially and historically situated. The linguistic and extra-linguistic resources used by the authors in their personal presentation are analyzed in both micro and macro perspectives. The results from this study lead to a conclusion that gender is constructed and sustained both according to traditional discourse of what it means to be a woman in the present Brazilian society and against it, as gender is not to be taken on its own, but intertwined with other identities and the social stands of the authors, such as age, family position, marital status, profession, amongst others
