Abstract

In order to conduct a research at the Université Paris-Sorbonne - Paris IV during the months of September, October, November and December of 2018, this is a proposal to request the support of FAPESP through the BEPE-MS program (Research internship abroad for recipients of FAPESP). The Université Paris-Sorbonne - Paris IV is a globally distinguished center for education and research, and can provide me the opportunity of getting in contact with outstanding researchers and professors and consulting outstanding libraries in my field of investigation. Furthermore, considering that the main objective of this research is the application of Global Semantics' theory to the discursive studies of parodic phenomenon, it is important to stress that D. Maingueneau is the academic who formulated this theory. He is a professor in said University and the host professor of this project, and one of the most notorious researchers in the field nowadays. In addition, France is the birthplace of the Analyse du Discours and its rich library archives provides the possibility to gather a good amount of literature unavailable in Brazil for future and present researches.
