Força acional em textos indutores de comportamento: uma análise retórico-argumentativa

Este trabalho visa, por um lado, identificar algumas estratégias retórico-argumentativas presentes em textos considerados potenciais indutores de comportamento; por outro, mostrar que a materialização linguístico-textual destas é condicionada pela atividade social aos quais se filiam. Considerando que estes textos têm uma força acional a eles associada, com o objetivo de orientar o modo de agir/pensar do interlocutor, identificar-se-á de que forma a construção textual da imagem do enunciador – ethos – pode vir a corroborar este efeito. As análises preliminares de alguns excertos mostram que os recursos linguísticos utilizados para a construção do ethos textual neste grupo de texto é heterogênea e fortemente condicionada por aspectos contextuais diversos. Os exemplares de textos institucionais em análise foram extraídos de atividades sociais distintas: da religiosa (Livro de Êxodo, capítulo 20) e da jurídico-política (Preâmbulo da Constituição da República Portuguesa).

La Capacidad actual de España para liderar la posición europea hacia Cuba

Aquest treball té per objecte analitzar quina és la capacitat actual del govern espanyol per liderar les polítiques europees respecte a Cuba. El període escollit per a la realització d'aquest examen s'inicia l'any 2004, moment en què el PSOE es va fer amb la victòria en les eleccions generals i en què va anunciar un canvi de rumb en l'acció exterior espanyola respecte de la postura promoguda pel PP en els mandats anteriors, i es perllonga fins al moment actual. El balanç dels èxits i fracassos obtinguts pel govern socialista fins ara, mostra una creixent pèrdua d'influència d'Espanya, davant etapes anteriors, si tradicional paper d'interlocutor avantatjat de la UE pel que fa a Cuba. la concurrència de factors com l'adhesió dels PECO a la UE, la capacitat de la Havana per procurar nous aliats i socis estratègics o les innovacions introduïdes pel tractat de Lisboa en matèria d'acció exterior, ha augmentat significativament les dificultats d'Espanya per "europeïtzar" els interessos de la seva política exterior pel que fa a l'Illa

En torno a los efectos de la edad en el aprendizaje escolar de una lengua extrangera

The purpose of this article is to treat a currently much debated issue, the effects of age on second language learning. To do so, we contrast data collected by our research team from over one thousand seven hundred young and adult learners with four popular beliefs or generalizations, which, while deeply rooted in this society, are not always corroborated by our data.Two of these generalizations about Second Language Acquisition (languages spoken in the social context) seem to be widely accepted: a) older children, adolescents and adults are quicker and more efficient at the first stages of learning than are younger learners; b) in a natural context children with an early start are more liable to attain higher levels of proficiency. However, in the context of Foreign Language Acquisition, the context in which we collect the data, this second generalization is difficult to verify due to the low number of instructional hours (a maximum of some 800 hours) and the lower levels of language exposure time provided. The design of our research project has allowed us to study differences observed with respect to the age of onset (ranging from 2 to 18+), but in this article we focus on students who began English instruction at the age of 8 (LOGSE Educational System) and those who began at the age of 11 (EGB). We have collected data from both groups after a period of 200 (Time 1) and 416 instructional hours (Time 2), and we are currently collecting data after a period of 726 instructional hours (Time 3). We have designed and administered a variety of tests: tests on English production and reception, both oral and written, and within both academic and communicative oriented approaches, on the learners' L1 (Spanish and Catalan), as well as a questionnaire eliciting personal and sociolinguistic information. The questions we address and the relevant empirical evidence are as follows: 1. "For young children, learning languages is a game. They enjoy it more than adults."Our data demonstrate that the situation is not quite so. Firstly, both at the levels of Primary and Secondary education (ranging from 70.5% in 11-year-olds to 89% in 14-year-olds) students have a positive attitude towards learning English. Secondly, there is a difference between the two groups with respect to the factors they cite as responsible for their motivation to learn English: the younger students cite intrinsic factors, such as the games they play, the methodology used and the teacher, whereas the older students cite extrinsic factors, such as the role of their knowledge of English in the achievement of their future professional goals. 2 ."Young children have more resources to learn languages." Here our data suggest just the opposite. The ability to employ learning strategies (actions or steps used) increases with age. Older learners' strategies are more varied and cognitively more complex. In contrast, younger learners depend more on their interlocutor and external resources and therefore have a lower level of autonomy in their learning. 3. "Young children don't talk much but understand a lot"This third generalization does seem to be confirmed, at least to a certain extent, by our data in relation to the analysis of differences due to the age factor and productive use of the target language. As seen above, the comparably slower progress of the younger learners is confirmed. Our analysis of interpersonal receptive abilities demonstrates as well the advantage of the older learners. Nevertheless, with respect to passive receptive activities (for example, simple recognition of words or sentences) no great differences are observed. Statistical analyses suggest that in this test, in contrast to the others analyzed, the dominance of the subjects' L1s (reflecting a cognitive capacity that grows with age) has no significant influence on the learning process. 4. "The sooner they begin, the better their results will be in written language"This is not either completely confirmed in our research. First of all, we perceive that certain compensatory strategies disappear only with age, but not with the number of instructional hours. Secondly, given an identical number of instructional hours, the older subjects obtain better results. With respect to our analysis of data from subjects of the same age (12 years old) but with a different number of instructional hours (200 and 416 respectively, as they began at the ages of 11 and 8), we observe that those who began earlier excel only in the area of lexical fluency. In conclusion, the superior rate of older learners appears to be due to their higher level of cognitive development, a factor which allows them to benefit more from formal or explicit instruction in the school context. Younger learners, however, do not benefit from the quantity and quality of linguistic exposure typical of a natural acquisition context in which they would be allowed to make use of implicit learning abilities. It seems clear, then, that the initiative in this country to begin foreign language instruction earlier will have positive effects only if it occurs in combination with either higher levels of exposure time to the foreign language, or, alternatively, with its use as the language of instruction in other areas of the curriculum.

L'entonació del pallarès i les preguntes absolutes dels Erasmus: dues investigacions en curs

Hem realitzat dues investigacions d'anàlisi melòdica: una sobre els trets melòdics bàsics del parlar del pallarès, formada per 96 enunciats de parla espontània emesos per 21 informants de diferents zones del Pallars. S'han obtingut contorns dels 6 primers patrons entonatius descrits en el català, i també diversos trets d'èmfasi bàsics. I, una altra, sobre les preguntes absolutes que fan els estudiants Erasmus. Es basa en 31 preguntes emeses per 15 aprenents de català com a l2. Es constata que aquests gairebé mai no segueixen l'estructura pròpia de les preguntes absolutes del català, la qual cosa explica els malentesos que tenen lloc entre un parlant, que fa una pregunta, i un interlocutor, que la percep com una afirmació i, per consegüent, no respon.

Idealismo e refutação do idealismo na filosofia crítica de Kant

O presente trabalho versa sobre o tema, central no projeto filosófico de Kant, da refutação do idealismo, concentrando-se em dois momentos da Crítica da Razão Pura (CRP): a Dedução Transcendental e a Refutação do Idealismo. Adoto duas hipóteses interpretativas: a primeira, de que a seção da CRP intitulada "Refutação do Idealismo" não esgota o projeto kantiano de uma refutação do idealismo, mas lhe fornece o acabamento, apresentando-se como um desenvolvimento de argumentos aduzidos na Dedução Transcendental. A segunda, de que a refutação kantiana do idealismo assume uma forma bipartida pelo fato de que são essencialmente duas as figuras do idealista que a argumentação implicitamente apresenta como adversário da teoria transcendental do conhecimento. Chamarei essas figuras de idealista cético e idealista da autoconsciência e procurarei demonstrar e discutir a presença, na CRP, de dois distintos movimentos argumentativos anti-idealistas que lhes correspondem nas seções da Refutação e da Dedução. Finalmente, esboçarei a pergunta sobre se e em que medida, entendida na perspectiva de sua forma bipartida, a refutação kantiana completa do idealismo na CRP apresenta uma prova suficiente contra o interlocutor que, apesar de admitir, por hipótese, tanto a possibilidade do conhecimento objetivo quanto seu primado epistêmico em relação à consciência do Eu (consciência dos estados internos ou autoconsciência), subordina o domínio da objetividade à instância transcendental de uma consciência de objetos.

Le concept de justice et la quête du bonheur chez Thrasymaque de Chalcédoine

Thrasymaque de Chalcédoine, un sophiste de renom dans l'Athènes du Ve siècle av. J.C. est présenté comme l'interlocuteur principal de Socrate dans le livre I de la République. Il y est surtout question de la justice et des implications qui en découlent, Socrate et Thrasymaque ne s'entendant évidemment pas sur la nature de la justice. Thrasymaque, poussé par le questionnement constant de Socrate, en vient à formuler différentes thèses sur la justice, notamment : «Je soutiens, moi, que le juste n'est rien d'autre que l'intérêt du plus fort» (Rép. 338c) et «la justice et le juste constituent en réalité le bien d'un autre.» (Rép. 343c) Parallèlement, il oppose au philosophe une vision de la justice difficile à accepter, mais aussi difficile à réfuter : celui qui commet l'injustice est plus heureux que celui qui agit en fonction de la justice. Ainsi, pour Thrasymaque, l'injuste est meilleur que le juste et est plus heureux, car l'injustice est plus profitable pour soi-même. Selon cette vision, qu'est-ce donc que la justice, et en quoi n'est-elle pas profitable pour soi-même? L'objectif de ce mémoire sera de faire ressortir positivement la conception de la justice de Thrasymaque, car c'est avec elle qu'entre en conflit la recherche du bonheur. En effet, si la justice est la représentation des intérêts du dirigeant, comme l'avance le sophiste, alors être juste n'est rien d'autre qu'agir en fonction des intérêts d'autrui et non de soi-même. Cependant, dans une Cité où les individus sont sous la gouverne de la loi, il n'est pas si simple d'agir toujours selon ses propres intérêts lorsque ceux-ci sont contraires à la justice. C'est pourquoi il sera également pertinent de s'attarder aux caractéristiques et aux vertus qu'un individu doit posséder, selon Thrasymaque, pour être heureux. Nous essaierons donc de dégager de la pensée de Thrasymaque un modèle de vie à suivre : le κρείττων. En dernière analyse, nous mettrons en relief la position de Thrasymaque avec la critique platonicienne. Pour Socrate, la position voulant que l'injustice soit profitable est difficile, car il lui faudra montrer que c'est en fait la justice qui apporte le bonheur, en tant qu'elle est une vertu de l'âme.

La Lanterne d’Arthur Buies : analyse du discours pamphlétaire et de sa réception dans le milieu journalistique

La Lanterne d’Arthur Buies, publiée à Montréal de 1868 à 1869 et inspirée de La Lanterne de Rochefort, se distingue des journaux de cette période durant laquelle le clergé, qui en contrôle un grand nombre, impose l’idée que tout bon catholique obéisse au pouvoir en place. En publiant La Lanterne, Buies s’oppose au milieu journalistique, non seulement par ses nombreuses critiques à son endroit, mais aussi par le choix du genre du pamphlet, qui confronte les normes de l’époque en empruntant une forme plus proche du discours oral et centrée essentiellement sur la dénonciation. Sans être officiellement victime de censure, le pamphlétaire subit les pressions du clergé et de la presse conservatrice, qui nuisent à ses projets de faire de son journal un grand organe de la jeunesse. Faire l’histoire de la publication de La Lanterne et son analyse littéraire, en comparaison avec la réédition de 1884, permet d’identifier les manifestations de l’ambition de Buies, qui s’oppose aux signes plus discrets indiquant les difficultés liées à la rédaction du journal. Le pamphlétaire se met en scène dans son propre journal, en interaction avec ses adversaires et ses lecteurs. De plus, l’étude de la réception de La Lanterne révèle que les rares journaux qui s’intéressent à Buies dénigrent son pamphlet, celui-ci lutte alors contre l’absence d’un véritable interlocuteur. Notre analyse du texte apporte une meilleure compréhension des objectifs de Buies et des outils dont il entendait se servir pour transformer la presse et, par là, la jeunesse canadienne. En nous intéressant à la réception, nous désirons également éclairer le fonctionnent du milieu journalistique canadien-français et comprendre le rôle que Buies a pu y tenir.
