Autores ResumoIn Alfa's second issue in 2017, we have gathered an excellent sample of the current development of language research in Brazil, in its diversity and scope.The article by Grillo and Américo provides readers with the results of an archival research that made to emerge, as in an archaeological investigation, an unprecedented profile of Volóchinov's life and work.The survey was conducted in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archives of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in a dive into primary sources.In addition to perfectly illustrating the historiographical method, the study brings undeniable contributions to the various theoretical approaches that are based or dialog less or more closely with the Bakhtin Circle thought.In the second article, based on the theoretical-methodological approach of French Discourse Analysis, Santos and Romualdo invest in the analysis of the discursivization of presidents Lula and Dilma in an archive composed by the weekly Carta Capital, Época, Isto É and Veja, during the 2010 electoral year.The authors identify a discursive effect of copresence of these two actors in the political scenario, which results sometimes in qualification or in disqualification of the candidate; it reveals the process of construction of political-mediatic discourse, so present in contemporary times.An area as old as contemporary in linguistic studies is the domain in which the third article is located -Dialectology.Razky, Ribeiro and Sanches present us the research "paths" for the elaboration of the Amapá Linguistic Atlas, reporting the procedures and methodological challenges of an enterprise as complex as necessary.The study shows how little by little the great dream of Antenor Nascentes takes shape, to the extent that regions so far from the traditional focus of research begin, literally, to be "placed on the Brazilian linguistic map".Vasconcellos and Del Ré, authors of the fourth article, look at the language where it would seem that it is not or it could not manifest itself.Observing the effect of reading in the textual production of a child with cerebral palsy, they reveal a particular process of acquisition of reading/writing and, from specificity, contribute to a broader understanding of the Acquisition phenomenon.The study of Alencar is located on the border between Grammar and Computing, illustrating an interface approach so characteristic of current linguistic studies -Computational Linguistics.The author successfully proposes a solution to a specific difficulty of FrGramm (a computational grammar of French based on the Lexical-Functional Grammar): the treatment of the passive and the compound past.The implemented change is tested with the aid of a syntactic analyzer proving to be
