The constitution of the social role of Language teachers is little discussed in academic circles. This article aims to illuminate this discussion, providing a counterpoint to the unique Bachelors’ degree that has its own regulations: Physical Education. With the methodological contributions of Corpus Linguistics, we reviewed journal texts, marking the differences between these two educational professions, different in legal terms. The results point to the emergence of an indigenous discourse in emancipated professions, in contrast to an exogenous one that marks the interventions in (semi) professions.
