Uma análise contemporânea da atuação profissional do revisor de textos

Abstract

Analyzing the professional and social performance of the proofreader, given the daily scenario in which he finds himself, is a challenge. Thus, this article highlights the importance of this professional, his performance in the market, his academic background, his legal rights and other factors. In order to have the current analysis of this professional, a field research was conducted (questionnaire). The data collected show a reality to be modified, as the non-regulation of the profession entails the following topics: anyone can do this work; the service is not valued; invisibility of the importance of the professionally trained reviewer; lack of consensus on pricing etc. That said, the paths that lead to career development are many, but the regulation of the profession and the union of professionals for the strengthening of the group are shown as primary factors.
