In this work we analyse a research report written by an undergraduate chemistry student, from the perspective of French Discourse Analysis, as formulated by Eni Orlandi, specifically the concept of authorship. Orlandi differentiates three types of repetition in the authorship process: empirical, formal, and historical. Concerning the concept of authorship, we realized that in the development of the report there was the exercise of empirical and formal repetition. Besides that, the use of historical repetition which demonstrates the author's position, that occupied by the student was also observed. Therefore, this research led us to an awareness of the influence of undergraduate research in the appropriation of scientific language and indicated that this process occurred through exchanges among peers, the imitation of patterns, and mainly the research experience.
