Abstract

This article aimed at investigating the participation of healthcare professionals 
in online forums conducted in the discipline of Educative Practices in health sciences, in the University of Brasilia-UNB in order to check the occurrences of evaluative lexis presented in the participants’ discourses. For this, it used the theoretical and methodological approaches that underpin the mediated communication computer as well as the model proposed by the research community (Garrison, et al (2000) among others). It was presented the general characteristics of the Presences (Social, Cognitive and Learning), but the focus was on social one. As regards the linguistic analysis, this study was supported by the assumptions of Systemic Functional Grammar (Halliday, 1994/2004; Appraisal- Martin e Rose, 2003).
