A indeterminação da linguagem: léxico e gramática

O texto opõe dois modos de estudar os fenômenos lingüísticos e, portanto, dois modos de instaurar as unidades de análise lingüística: um estático, outro dinâmico. No enfoque estático, a proposta de que a linguagem seja determinada e o conceito de sintaxe dela derivado separam léxico e gramática. No enfoque dinâmico, a natureza indeterminada da linguagem e o conceito de hipersintaxe dela derivado articulam léxico e gramática. Embora o texto defenda que o enfoque dinâmico possa dar origem a um modo diferente de observar os fenômenos lingüísticos em geral, mostra, em particular, a importância dessa perspectiva para o ensino de línguas.

Orações concessivas independentes à luz da gramática discursivo-funcional

This paper investigates, in light of the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar (HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008), the concessive clause that is not subordinated to other clauses, i.e., it has no semantic or syntactic relations with clauses before or after it, and which we call Independent Concessive. The aim is to describe the discursive properties and the semantic, morphosyntactic and prosodic structure of this type of clause, showing that its relevance is in the construction and organization of discourse. The results indicate that the Independent Concessive works in speech as a parenthesis which interrupts the discursive course and is then highlighted by a special prosodic contour, combined with the presence of Interactive Acts. It is therefore a Move, the highest layer of the Interpersonal Level, the level that relates to the pragmatic aspects of the grammar of a language. The universe of research used is the Iboruna corpus, a database that records a variety of Portuguese from the Northwest of São Paulo.

Influence of shot peening on the fatigue strength of Custom 465 stainless steel for aeronautic application

This project was originated from the national aircraft industry requirements to reduce the use of coated materials with electroplated chromium or cadmium that produce waste, which is harmful to health or the environment. The selected material is a Custom 465 stainless steel used in the aeronautical field due to its high mechanical strength. Considering the load sustained by the wheel axis of the landing gear, the Custom 465 is tested in axial fatigue. The objective is to compare the behavior of the Custom 465 with plated AISI 4340 steel coated with cadmium. X-ray diffraction method was used to determine the residual stress field induced by shot peening.

FATIGUE IN CUSTOM 465 STAINLESS STEEL FOR AERONAUTIC APPLICATION

Considering the load sustained by the wheel axis of the landing gear, the Custom 465 was tested in axial fatigue. The objective is to compare the behavior of the Custom 465 stainless steel with plated AISI 4340 steel coated with cadmium. Fractographic analysis was conducted using scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction method was used to determine the residual stress field induced by shot peening.

Interrogativas encaixadas vs. relativas sem antecedente: contribuições da Gramática Discursivo-Funcional

This work deals with the distinction between embedded questions and headless relatives, that was already pointed out as problematic in several studies based on generative approach. The purpose is to examine to what extent functional aspects, as proposed by the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar (HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008) to describe the two types of clauses can contribute to the explanation of the differences and similarities between them. Based on representative occurrences of spoken Brazilian Portuguese, we demonstrated that the approach of Functional Discourse Grammar provides important parameters for defining the nature of these two types of clauses, in both formal and functional (semantic-discursive) terms, contributing thus to the existing proposals for the distinction between these clauses.

Vocativos e o traço basicamente orientador da interação na Gramática Textual-Interativa

Within Textual-interactive Grammar, discourse markers are defined through a particular combination of linguistic features. One of them concerns the interactive role of discourse markers, and it is called “basic orientation of interaction”. As other authors have shown, this feature applies to expressions that play the following functions: Checking, Feedback, Injunction or Initiation. In this paper, we try to demonstrate that the feature under consideration also applies to Vocatives.

A Subfunção Interacional de checagem na Gramática Textual-Interativa

Na Gramática Textual-interativa, os Marcadores Discursivos são definidos mediante a combinação de traços linguísticos referentes a um conjunto de parâmetros de análise. Um desses parâmetros diz respeito à função que as expressões linguísticas exercem em termos de orientação da interação. Neste trabalho, discutimos um aspecto da função de orientação da interação, procurando contribuir para tornar cada vez mais precisa a definição de Marcadores Discursivos da Gramática Textual-interativa. Especificamente, discutimos a subfunção de Checagem, aqui entendida como uma das possíveis formas de particularização da função mais geral de orientação da interação. A esse respeito, dentre outras questões que abordamos, destacamos a natureza retórica como aspecto central das expressões de Checagem e analisamos a relação entre a subfunção de Checagem e o estatuto de Marcador Discursivo, procurando demonstrar que praticamente todas as expressões com essa subfunção constituem também, necessariamente, Marcadores Discursivos.

A análise funcionalista e o estabelecimento de quadros categoriais na gramática

Committed to a functionalist view of grammar, this study takes word classes as its object of analysis, aiming to show that categorical rigidity cannot be upheld in linguistic use. The analysis sample presented starts from the solutions of dictionaries in the registration of word classes parts and from the fluidity that these classes show in their use. Aspects of grammaticalization in Portuguese language are taken as evidence. It is argued that the grammatical organization of language has properties that support categorical shift processes, however singular they may seem to examination.
