ABSTRACT
The contextual spaces of academic events constitute a system of activities organized in a hierarchical way, in which the abstract genres, object of this study, appear in a variation specified in conference abstracts and complete work abstracts, constituting context and group relations. In this work, our aim is to analyze how these abstract genres are organized, produced and identified, considering the context and the consequent textual variations that affect the prototypical notion of the abstract genre. The study, based on the genre theory of Swales (1990)SWALES, J. M. (1990). Genre analysis: English in academic and research settings. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. and Bhatia (2004BHATIA, V. K. (2004). Worlds of written discourse: a genre-based view. London: Continuum.; 2009) and on the conception of context defended by van Dijk (2012)VAN DIJK, T. A. (2012). Discurso e contexto. Trad. Rodolfo Ilari. São Paulo: Contexto., comprises the contextual and textual analysis of both modalities of abstracts. The results suggest that context indicates the social actions necessary for the achievement of the participants’ communicative objectives, through genres interrelated and grouped into genre colonies. In addition, this contextual action is reflected in the rhetorical configuration of the text in the different classes of abstracts.
