- Abstract
The article discusses the study on 90 essays written by university students. The goal is to verify the incidence of descriptive strategies and to measure variations in essay type by analyzing texts and their structure. Preliminary results show high frequency of descriptive sequences, common processing strategies, use of combined codes and similar descriptive words, differentiation in the use of strategies, and less consistent use of descriptive functions by essay type and specialization area.
