Civil Engineering Supervision Manuals

This paper presents an analysis of civil engineering inspection manuals, delimited by Brazilian region, in order to identify their specificities, with a view to making a contribution to professionals who work in the inspection of works and services. The analysis is also relevant due to the instructional nature of the manuals, which are aimed at the construction industry. In order to understand the perspective adopted, after the introductory notions, we begin by dealing with the issue of the text, then move on to the genre, and then talk about intertextuality, given the linguistic view of the object of engineering. We then move on to the analysis itself.
