Abstract

Corpus choice may be the most important part of a textual scholar’s work, since, from there, the material has an open road to reach the world and there is an increased chance to find novelties in terms of linguistic and literary studies. But we have noticed a tendency of the scholars in these areas to focus on texts whose genre is easily classifiable, perhaps by the very formation of these scholars, in a country where genre teaching focuses on the instrumentalism of the language and in genres privileged by admissional tests to college. Linguistic creativity, therefore, does not come to the public, and there is no contribution to a greater dissemination of discursive genres in unusual formats. This work analyses, therefore, the construction of a less conventional diary genre, but also important to linguistic and literary studies.
