Abstract: This doctoral study (GAP / CAL nº 040187), adjacent to the Master degree (FLOREK, 2015), is part of a larger project aimed at the investigation of multimodal academic genres with a view to multiliteracies, advised by Prof. Dra. Graciela Rabuske Hendges (GAP / CAL nº 046194). We aim to investigate the graphical academic abstract (hereafter GA) regarding its form and function, identifying relations between the production (editors and authors), consumption (readers) and distribution (publishers) context, verbal and visual linguistic instantiation and mode as meanings form a unit of recognizable and replicable meaning. Critical Genre Analysis (e.g. MOTTA-ROTH; HEBERLE, 2015) theoretically supports this research and makes possible: i) investigation of phonology, graphology and graphical, semantics and pragmatic and context of situation of visual and verbal semiotic modes by Systemic-Functional Linguistics (e. g. HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004; 2014) and the Multimodal Discourse Analysis (KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006); ii) culture context analysis through the approach from Genre Analysis of Swales (1990) and Socio-Rethorics (p. ex., MILLER, 1984; 2015; BAZERMAN, 1988); and iii) discourse investigation by Critical Discourse Analysis (p. ex., FAIRCLOUGH, 1992; 2003). From the methodological point of view, Grounded Theory (CHARMAZ, 2006) supports supports the construction and combination of theories throughout the collection and systematic analysis of relevant data. The analysis focused on Chemistry and Engineering. The contextual corpus brings together: questionnaires answered by editors and authors-readers of relevant scientific journals of the areas and documents on the practice of GAs (Instructions for authors, editorials, blogs and GA scientific studies). The textual corpus comprehends: 30 RAGs, from 15 scientific journals published by four publishers. The results show a communicative multi-purpose of publicizing science by virtue of the triangulation of forces among producers, consumers and distributors driven by diverse ...
