This study is based on Systemic-Functional Linguistics, which offers a specific analytical tool for the systematic examination of the motivations, purposes, assumptions and interests of the text's producers and aims to critically analyze the lexicogrammatical choices made in the short story in order to unravel what underlies the dialogue between the characters.The objective of this article is the critical analysis of the lexicographic choices made in Missa do Galo tale in order to unravel what underlies the dialogue between Conceição and Nogueira. ed intention.
