XAVIER, Giovanna Silveira; ESPINDOLA, Priscila Sampaio; CORDOVA, Lucas Ferraz  e  SILVA, Nayla Nara Ferreira Mota da. The Reno Method: a proposal for the behavioral analysis of discourse. Perspectivas [online]. 2017, vol.8, n.1, pp. 120-134. ISSN 2177-3548.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18761/PAC.2016.037.

In 1957, Skinner published the book Verbal Behavior, in which he applied the assumptions of radical behaviorism on the explanation of the verbal relation between speaker and listener, especially emphasizing the description of the speaker. Since then, these assumptions have been systematically applied to the behavioral analysis of discourse (BAD) and some important studies have been developed in the area. This article aims to didactically present the discourse analysis method developed by Willard Jr. Day (1926-1989) and his students at the University of Nevada in the late 1970s. For this, it is proposed a concise, updated and practical combination of phases for the accomplishment of this method. The Reno Method, as it became known, intends to interrelate, under the influence of the hermeneutic movement, the experimental method to the interpretative method and has been shown effective and interesting for the analysis of verbal relations.
