In this paper, we discuss new possibilities for e-learning and studies on language from a virtual tool. We emphasize the use of computational tools for the creation and treatment of data in order to elucidate and put into thesis advantages and challenges from such methodology, especially in relation to textual production. This study is an experiment with the virtual tool Sabere1, designed specifically for the purpose of the research in thesis. Sabere was thought for pedagogical purpose, supporting e-learning and setting up cybercorporaii with fine-grained control of social variables. This tool, besides providing social services in education, allows the construction of corpora for different purposes and areas of knowledge. In this study, we will focus on research conducted in the field of language (especially those regarding social variables), particularly on studies on textual production and revision in different genres and text types. As an innovative goal, we seek to point out new guidelines in sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics and policies on education, carrying out analysis on language and mind. Beyond this, we look forward to discussing new public policy on e-learning and academic research.
