G��neros do discurso, ci��ncia e m��dia: a divulga����o cient��fica em quest��o

This work���s main purpose is to research how the scientific speech is outlined on the Revista Língua Portuguesa in statements made by linguists. Statements issued in the previously mentioned magazine have been analyzed. In order to achieve the proposal, the research was based on the following questions: how both the scientific and the scientific divulgation speeches are formed in the magazine, and whether the opinion texts written by scholars and researchers in the linguistic field identify themselves with opinion articles, scientific articles or scientific divulgation texts. Those questions were discussed from the theoretical-methodological bakhtinian perspective, taking the notion of dialogism, the human activity sphere, genres of discourse and style as conceptual elements. It has been detected that there is a complexity in the construction of the genres in the magazine, always taking into account the journalistic and scientific spheres of circulation. The analyzed statements presented themselves as a confluence of many genres��� characteristics, showing a point of view, a scientific subject, a researcher-author and a language adjustment to the magazine reader, making it more accessible. The analysis showed that the discussed statements resemble opinion articles, scientific articles, and reviews, besides being scientific divulgation at the same time

A manifesta����o das diferentes modalidades no emprego do verbo auxiliar poder em portugu��s e em espanhol: an��lise do discurso de autoajuda

This paper aims to investigate the behavior of the modal verb poder as an auxiliary verb in text written in both two Romance languages, Brazilian Portuguese and Iberian Spanish. This research follows a functionalist language approach, more precisely the Dutch Functional Grammar tradition, based on the modality classification proposed by Hengeveld (2004). This author considers two main criteria: target of evaluation, and semantic domain of evaluation. Considering this classification, we analyze the use of the auxiliary verb poder in a corpus of self-help discourses, which currently enjoy enormous popularity in various parts of the world. Although in Portuguese the auxiliary verb poder is essentially an epistemic modal (cf. Neves 1999-2000) ���which, according to the Hengeveld (2004), corresponds to the event-oriented epistemic modality���. However, our analysis show that, given the essentially optimistic nature of the discourse analyzed, the self-help discourse, the previously mentioned modal verb (poder) behaves predominantly as a participant-oriented facultative modal. This result demonstrates the importance of considering the context of occurrence of the verb poder in order to evaluate the effects of meaning associated with its use.

An��lise das coloca����es especializadas da ��rea de sensoriamento remoto sob a perspectiva da fraseologia

The aim of this research is to build and analyze a parallel corpus in the field of remote sensing in order to identify, according to its frequency, specialized collocations in English and then search for their equivalents in Portuguese. The research is based on the interdisciplinary approach of Corpus-Based Translation Studies (BAKER, 1995; CAMARGO, 2007), Corpus Linguistics (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004; TOGNINI-BONELLI, 2001), Phraseology (ORENHA-OTTAIANO, 2009; PAVEL, 1993), and some principles of Terminology (BARROS, 2004). For manipulating the corpora, the program WordSmith Tools (SCOTT, 2012) version 6.0 is used. To support this study, two comparable corpora in English and Portuguese were also built from articles published in both national and international journals in remote sensing. The results show that the collocations in Portuguese seem to be still in the process of conventionalization, as the translators made use of greater variation in their translational options, which can be a way to make the text clearer for the reader.

Legendagem e dublagem: diferen��as na tradu����o do humor

This work aims on an approach concerning on Translation Theories, as well as the translational difficulties, the linguistic barriers with which the translator must know how to deal, the role of the translator as a conscious subject of his work while creating new texts and producing meanings. We will develop a discussion focused on the audiovisual translation practice which means the translation for subtitles and dubbings. It will be shown the translation process on both modalities and also the issue about the translation of humor in each of them, as the translator must use his translational skill, cultural and linguistic knowledge and creativity, not only to circumvent the rules imposed by the audiovisual translation market, but also to be able to create a new language for each character presented in the original material, so that the translation in Portuguese language may contain proper traces of humor from the Brazilian culture. Our main goal is an attempt to explain the reason for so many questions from the public who does not know the rules in the market for subtitling and dubbing translation and sometimes criticize the work of the translator if they realize any ���loss of information��� or ���a translation very poorly done���. Theories and arguments which prove that no translation is done badly, but it goes through recreations and modifications whenever it is necessary will be presented. By the explanation of this translation process, citation of translators who work in this area telling about their experiences and selected examples of translations from the ���Everybody hates Chris��� sitcom, we hope to reflect and clarify such doubts.

A produ����o lexical de adjetivos no portugu��s brasileiro

Ce travail a le but de quantifier les formes les plus courantes d���adjetifs en portuguais br��silien, il s���agit d���un travail qui porte sur les usages synchroniques de la langue. Notre objetif c���est d���indentifier les formations lexicales propres aux adjetifs et de quantifier les usages de ces fomations pour en d��couvrir les tendances synchroniques de ces usages en portuguais br��silien. Le corpus est de base ��crite, compos�� des lettres des lecteurs de magazine, ce qui permet plus de stabilit�� pour l���analyse. Vu qu���il s���agit d���un suport d���expression populaire le corpus nous a possibilit�� de faire un approche au langage plus informelle dont la fa��on d���expression permet la formation de vocabulaires les plus insolites et les plus r��centes, tandis que l�����crite formelle r��siste plus aux changements. La recheche des formes nous a donn�� des r��sultats quantitatifs des formes d��j�� connues, les plus nouvelles aussi et des usages des mots appartenants �� d���autres classes gramaticales qui avaient une valeur d���adjetive dans quelques contextes sp��cifiques, en expressions typiques de langage informel. Ce travail, donc, contribue comme um petit portrait de la r��alit�� lexicale br��silienne dans l���usage dynamique de la langue

Vozeamento na pron��ncia de uma língua estrangeira: descri����o de desvios comuns e como eles afetam o aprendizado do ingl��s

This paper analyzes voicing occurrences on the coda of Portuguese and English words pronounced by Brazilian speakers. The aim of this kind of analysis is to describe how voicing occurrences affect the realization and perception of foreign words. It was noted that there is a recurrence on the use of unvoiced coda in Portuguese, which was assumed to happen also in English when Brazilian Portuguese speakers uses it as a second language. The recordings were analyzed through Praat, software that generates waveforms and spectrograms, allowing segments to be divided and phonetically transcribed. The analysis proved the assumption to be true, concluding that speakers who had their speeches recorded produced unvoiced codas in fact. Conclusions concerning this take into consideration that, considering how minimal pairs in English can be produced based on coda voicing, there is a possible communication difficulty Brazilians may face due to this fact. But it goes by unnoticed, because this process sounds so natural it hardly is taken as a problem source

O ensino de reda����o em sites: di��logos em rede

We know that studies on reading and writing take place within the Linguistic for several decades and, with de computer, the language entered the network and this is opening a learning space for writing classes, no more reduced to a classroom but expanded to a universe that has no geographical boundaries, namely de Internet. Our research fits into this context and is part of the project The discourse on writing practices in contemporary Brazilian media: the art making, the pedagogical practice, and the production of meaning to develop discourse analysis on the practice of writing on sites dedicated to teaching and learning of this practice. The main objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between school attendance of redaction - made here as discourse gender, as you know Bakhtin - and the discourse of the sites that constitute our corpus. We set out the hypothesis that the sites are intended for the teaching/learning of writing seeking to create virtually teaching imaginarily conditions similar to those that exist in school attendance of the Portuguese language. We are interested in, therefore, observe, discursively, as the image is created of the interlocutors to which they are intended considering that the enunciators are not in front of those who occupy the place of real students, because they are virtual students. We, too, to know as the gender class manifested itself in those sites, as these sites dialogue with the face-to-face class in relation to ideology, the function of the teacher, the conception of language and writing. The constitution of the corpus was from search tools on the internet. The sites that we analyzed were: alunosonline.com.br, brasilescola.com.br, coladaweb.com.br, guiadoestudante.com.br, infoescola.com.br, mundoeduca����o.com.br, mundovestibular.com.br, portugu��s.com.br, professorjuscelino.com.br and reda����odissertativa.com.br. The selection was qualitative, considering the...

Nominaliza����o e transitividade

This text is part of a larger study that initially aimed at focusing the relation between nominalization and transitivity in the Portuguese Language. Based on A. Culioli��s Theory of the Enuntiative Operations, we started from a static and descriptive analysis of language, in which nominalization and transitivity have visibility, towards a study that takes into consideration the articulation between language and natural languages. This second approach diluted the specificity of these two grammatical questions and directed them to more abstract spaces of reflection and common to any grammatical problem, such as causality, differential propriety and the construction of notional domains.

A presen��a de palavras de origem inglesa nos dicion��rios de portugu��s brasileiro: quest��es de identifica����o cultural

Este trabalho tem como objetivo observar a presen��a de palavras de origem inglesa em dicion��rios do Portugu��s Brasileiro relacionando este fato com a atual identifica����o do brasileiro com a cultura norteamericana ��� como consequ��ncia da import��ncia dos EUA no cen��rio mundial nas ��ltimas d��cadas. Neste estudo, notou-se que as palavras estrangeiras passam por um per��odo de observa����o pelos lexic��grafos antes de serem finalmente inseridas em importantes obras de refer��ncia da língua portuguesa. Observou-se tamb��m que, quando inseridas nos dicion��rios, as palavras inglesas s��o encontradas em diferentes tipos de verbetes: alguns trazem transcri����o fon��tica, por exemplo, outros n��o. Al��m disso, muitos verbetes n��o indicam se a palavra ainda pode ser considerada ���estrangeira��� �� língua portuguesa ou se j�� se encontra aportuguesada. Dessa forma, podemos concluir que n��o h�� um padr��o de entrada para palavras estrangeiras em dicion��rios do Portugu��s Brasileiro e que vem sendo uma tarefa dif��cil para os lexic��grafos encontrar um modelo de verbete que melhor atenda as necessidades das pessoas. Por fim, esta pesquisa comprovou que fatores extralingu��sticos e culturais s��o importantes para que se decida se uma palavra estrangeira deve ou n��o estar presente em um dicion��rio do Portugu��s Brasileiro.

Como o ensino v�� a varia����o?

Thinking about the correlations between linguistic variation and education is both necessary and urgent if we wish to make language teaching more appropriate, fairer and more meaningful. I take, on one hand, already well-established concepts derived from research on language: the variable nature of language (in space, time, situations) and the intrinsic relationship between this variation and social structure, the communicative needs of speakers, the needs and desires that speakers have to build their social identity. On the other hand, we found out that the teaching of Portuguese language has usually been based on a vision that assumes the language as a static reality. I propose to contrast the two components of this issue, to reveal where, and if, any relationship has been established, and where it is to be built. In the first instance, I seek to evaluate the bond ��� how one speaks about change when this issue comes to be focused; in the second, I seek the reasons for absence - ignorance or indifference?

Ignacio de Assis Silva e os estudos liter��rios

This paper aims to honor the semiotician Ignacio Assis Silva printed by the intensity in all his activities, emphasizing mainly on the accuracy insightful essays, which made him not only one of the most important promoters of semiotics greimasian in Brazil, but one of those responsible for its development. It should be noted also that he served with dedication in the Postgraduate Program in Literary Studies FCL/Araraquara UNESP, including efforts since its founding. The program owes much to him and others of FCL semioticians for the healthy integration between programs, Linguistics/Portuguese Language and Literary Studies. The latter was even initially, a literature program focusing on semiotics greimasian. Join together with all his persistent interest in building a "theory of language", which deeply and tenaciously pursued in their classes and in their texts and can be detected in Figurativiza����o e metamorfose: o mito de Narciso (1995).

Um olhar sociolingu��stico sobre as intera����es do teletandem: diversidade e varia����es lingu��sticas

This article reports on the diversity and the linguistic variations in e-mails and chat interactions in teletandem interactions. Based on the interface of foreign language acquisition and sociolinguistics, its focus is on linguistic variants under the perspective of the social variations of language, especially regarding standard and non-standard norms of the Portuguese language in a teletandem context. Sociolinguistics offers us resources for the analysis and understanding that we intend to provide about teletandem interactions. We also mention the Teletandem Brasil project, its ideas and theoretical orientations, and also analyze data collected. The findings show that the variations in foreign students�� written production, who are also Portuguese learners, come from fluctuations between the standard and non-standard norms because students still do not have complete communicative competence in the target language.
