Abstract

The present work aims to investigate the presence of linguistic concepts in the journalism courses of some cities of Rio Grande do Sul (RS). This theme was chosen to ascertain the vision that the student of the journalism course has on concepts of language / language. The reference framework used mainly comprises five theoretical currents in the area of ​​Linguistics, which are: the Saussurean vision, the dialogical vision of enunciation, the dialogical vision of the utterance, the pragmatic vision and the discursive vision. To carry out the research, the necessary data were collected through the application of a questionnaire with incoming students and graduates of the journalism courses of public and private institutions of RS. In addition to the questionnaire, the Pedagogical Course Projects of the selected institutions were analyzed. The analysis was done by comparing information from the Projects with the students' responses from the institutions and also from the comparison between the responses of incoming and trainee students. The research resulted in a student profile of journalism with an uncritical view of the language, writing manuals and highlighting the importance of normative grammar.
