Um estudo das consoantes róticas nas Cantigas de Santa Maria

Este trabalho de monografia visa iniciar uma discussão acerca de aspectos fonológicos relativos às consoantes róticas no Português Arcaico, a partir da análise de um recorte das Cantigas de Santa Maria, de Afonso X (1121-1284). Foi realizado um levantamento da forma gráfica das palavras para a posterior quantificação das ocorrências de róticas nessas palavras. Depois de analisada a literatura básica relativa ao PA, foram feitas considerações sobre o corpus deste trabalho, no que diz respeito às afirmações feitas pelos autores estudados. A partir dos resultados desse estudo, constatamos a semelhança existente entre os sistemas consonantais do Português Arcaico e do Português Brasileiro, principalmente no que diz respeito: a) aos processos de neutralização de róticas em contexto de coda e b) aos grafemas e , que já não representavam em PA sons de caráter distintivo no contexto de travamento silábico, como ocorre em PB

Instrumentos e atividades realizadas para a coleta de um corpus de aprendizes em língua inglesa para integrar o Br-ICLE (The Brazilian Portuguese Sub-corpus of ICLE)

This paper presents and discusses initiatives taken in a public university in the state of São Paulo in order to collect and organize a corpus composed of argumentative texts to be part of Br-ICLE – a subcorpus of ICLE1 – which is composed of texts produced by Brazilian students enrolled in the courses of Arts and Languages and Translation. The discussion is based on a three-year project in which we could observe underuse and overuse features in the texts produced by Brazilian undergraduate students.

Educational and professional background and success in the labor market: the case of Portuguese immigrants in the Netherlands

The aim of this paper is to describe the relationship between educational and professional occupation trajectories of Portuguese immigrants in The Netherlands. To this end, the sample used comprises Portuguese immigrants that arrived in The Netherlands in two periods which represent the highest influx of immigrants: around the years 1966 and 2002. The analysis of the data shows a strong relationship between the level of professional education and the level of professional occupation. Furthermore, some exceptions to the generalizations found show that in service training may lead to an improvement of the possibilities to ascend regarding the level of professional occupation.

Considerações sobre a não-realização da vogal epentética em corpus poético do Português Arcaico

This study has as main aim to discuss the motivation for the non-occurrence of epenthetic vowel at the beginning of the word in the context of word junction in the first hundred Cantigas de Santa Maria (CSM – Afonso X, 1221-1284). Through this work and from a non-explored corpus (especially as for linguistic themes - SNOW, 1987, p. 478-480; MASSINI-CAGLIARI, 2005, p. 24-26), we intended to contribute to reaching a deeper knowledge of Portuguese prosody history in the period of its recognition as an “independent” language in relation to Latin.

Três momentos da história da acentuação portuguesa

This article examines the lexical stress positioning in three moments of Portuguese diachrony: in its Latin origin, in medieval times (the so called Archaic Portuguese, of GalicianPortuguese), and in contemporary times, comparing Brazilian and European Portuguese. Two analysis are presented: the first one, based on non-linear Phonology theories, and the second one, based on Optimality Theory. The article shows that the rhythmic chance that affected Portuguese in its diachronic trajectory from Latin to contemporary days is not based in lexical stress positioning, which is still very close to what happened in the original Latin phase of the language.

A misosoginia medieval e seus ecos nos Lais de Maria de França

The Lais of Marie de France are a specific type of historical record about the medieval aristocratic society and enables us to decipher the hierarchies that govern the relationship between men and women in the period. As well explains Georges Duby, medieval society tends to present coated with a male character because, among other factors, its latent misogyny. Women were placed under male authority, convinced of their natural superiority , the men despised , mocked her sex , meanwhile feared them, after all, women were Eve’s daughters. So, Lais offer female images that cannot be ignored , since it express the author women’s idea. However , as we seek to demonstrate in this article, Maria of France reflects the representations of the Christian society aristocratic. One note here that this article does not aspire to reach the actual circumstances, but the historical significance of female images present in the Lais.

A Sancta Sapientia Medieval: enigma e mistério no teatro cristão de Rosvita de Ganderseheim

Within the scope of Literary Studies, theory, criticism, and historiography about the literature produced in the Middle Ages developed considerably from 1940 on, with the works of Ernst Curtius, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Erich Auerbach. In spite of the progress made, some specific aspects remain in the shadow, with incursions which were punctual though meaningful: that is the case of the critic fortunes about women‟s literary production in that period. Rosvita was a canoness and lived in the Benedictine convent of Gandersheim (Germany), in the 10th century A.D. Coming under Terence‟s influence, she wrote theater plays in Latin in which she figuratively presented theological issues in order to spread the Christian doctrine. The martyrdom issue deserved to be put in relief and was the focal point of the play Wisdom, which took place at the time of the Roman emperor Adrian. This paper analyzes that dramatic text discussing, at the end, how the categories of symbol, enigma, allegory, and mystery are organized by the author as expressive resources and structural elements.
