Abstract

This work believes that there is hardly any debates or controversy in the Brazilian academy, at least in the area of language studies. After reflecting about the theory of Dascal, which discusses the relevance of the controversies, the distinction between studies of text and studies of discourse is analyzed, since the term “discourse” is often related to both of them. It is presented the fundamental differences on certain issues (subject, reading, multisemiosis) and it is emphasized the different conceptions about a current subject in Brazil: the reference. The thesis is that the solutions from discourse analysis and from the study of text are incompatible and that issues like this should be explicitly discussed, as if to “discover” the best solution.
