This article analyses the middle constructions used in scientific articles in Linguistic, randomly collected from Scielo platform. According to the ergative perspective (Halliday 1985, 1994) and Halliday & Matthiessen (2004), the constructions found are analyzed, describing the choices of Medium in the context use in the articles. The constructions were obtained by the use of a computer program that can be used with a large number of texts. The analysis shows that the ergative constructions are used in different sections in the articles, hiding the identity of the author or others mentioned in the texts.
