Educação Matemática e Sociedade

The paper's aim is to justify the creation of the line of research Mathematics Education and Society in the Graduate Program of Mathematics Education (PPGEM), UNESP (Rio Claro, SP). In a brief history of the constitution of the mathematics education community, the categories culture and society were emphasized. A brief summary of sociology is presented, drawing on classical sociologists and contemporary authors. The group EMsociedade is presented, and its purpose, which is to be part of the PPGEM to establish a space for discussions between students and supervisors from the Graduate Program, elementary and middle school teachers, and others who have interest in the subject. One of the arguments defended by the group is presented: institutionalized mathematical knowledge in the Twentieth Century is a commodity. Finally, some future considerations are outlined, including the expectation that the line of research Mathematics Education and Society will be included in the PPGEM.

Universal or provincial? early reception of brian friel´s philadelphia, here I come!

This article, part of a larger research work that resulted in a Professorship Thesis, presents a survey and evaluation of the early reception of one of Brian Friel’s first plays: Philadelphia, Here I Come! (1964). The article also explores the question of emigration from Ireland in the 1950s and 1960s, considering British legislation on the matter, and comments on the eventual influence such issue, among other factors, may have had on criticism about the performance of the play at the time.

The De-Totalization of History in Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried

This paper aims at discussing how Tim O’Brien, a veteran of the Vietnam War, reviews the American involvement in the conflict in his novel The Things They Carried (1990). The author shows the perspective of the soldiers in the stories and, therefore, presents other possibilities to analyze that historical fact. The interplay of fiction and truth is essential for O’Brien to reach the objective of reevaluating official history in order to make the readers rethink the past.

avaliação de proficiência

In this study we discuss the role of pronunciation in language testing and investigate two features of pronunciation of eight candidates of the Test of Oral Proficiency in English (TEPOLI) along four bands of the test scale. Deviations in vowel segments and in syllable structure are analyzed. The results point to the need for a global assessment of the candidates’ phonological systems

Falsos cognatos francês-português entre termos de estatutos sociais

In this article we address the search for equivalents in the elaboration of a model dictionary for sworn translators of terms used in bylaws, in the Portuguese-French translation direction. We present, specifically, some cases in which the morphological similarity between the two languages can lead to errors, for example false cognates.

Proposta de um modelo de dicionário terminológico onomasiológico

The present paper aims at applying a model of bilingual onomasiological terminological dictionary, as proposed by Babini (2001b), for the development of an English-Portuguese and Portuguese-English electronic dictionary of the fundamental Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) terms. This subarea of Artificial Intelligence was chosen due to its use in several technological activities. The onomasiological dictionary is characterized by allowing searches of either lexical or terminological units from its semantic content. Our dictionary model allows two types of search: semasiological and onomasiological. The onomasiological search is made possible by a set of semes or semantic traits that make up the concept of each term in the dictionary.

Proposta de modelo de dicionário terminológico onomasiológico dos neônimos da Biotecnologia

A Biotecnologia teve uma evolução muito grande nas últimas duas décadas, evolução que foi acompanhada por uma intensa criação de neônimos. O objetivo principal deste artigo é analisar o funcionamento de um Dicionário terminológico onomasiológico dos neônimos da Biotecnologia com equivalências em inglês. As principais referências metodológicas e teóricas que utilizamos em nosso trabalho foram Alpìzar-Castillo (1997), Alves (2009, 2008, 2007), Babini (2006, 2001a, 2001b), Barbosa (1995), Barros (2004), Berber Sardinha (2004), Cabré (1999a, 1999b, 1993), Felber (1984), Rey-Debove (1971), Rondeau (1984). A metodologia empregada no tratamento terminográfico e na pesquisa terminológica bilíngue foi norteada pela TCT (Teoria Comunicativa da Terminologia), que nos auxiliou a lidar com as diferenças existentes entre os dois idiomas estudados. Para a coleta dos neônimos empregamos a metodologia proposta por Alves (2001) e utilizamos como corpus as 34 primeiras edições (versão eletrônica) da revista Biotecnologia. Uma vez coletados os termos, procedemos à organização do sistema nocional do domínio e sucessivamente elaboramos a macroestrutura e a microestrutura de nosso dicionário, utilizando a metodologia proposta por Babini (2006, 2001a, 2001b). Para que fossem possíveis buscas de tipo onomosiológico, partindo dos semas dos termos, incluímos na microestrutura o semema de cada termo e optamos por realizar nosso dicionário em formato eletrônico. A análise do funcionamento do dicionário mostrou a eficácia do sistema que permite identificar o termo partindo de um ou mais semas, escolhidos por meio de telas no software.

A terminologia das Feiras de negócios: análise das variantes linguísticas

The trade fair industry has great relevance in the national and international economic environment and it is constantly expanding. The general objective of this work is to analyze the main linguistic variants found in the trade fair terminological set. Our research is based on the theories of Cabré (1993, 1999), Barros (2004), Krieger & Finatto (2004), Alves (2007), Barbosa (2009), Dubuc (1985), Berber Sardinha (2004), Babini (2006) and Faulstich (1998, 2001). For this work we constitute two corpora of specialized texts, one for English language and another for Portuguese language. Successively we performed a collection of terms using software for corpora processing. These terms were organized into two notional systems, one in English and another in Portuguese. Then we analyzed the main types of variants found in our terminological set. Among them, those who had higher productivity are the lexical variants, followed by graphical, morphological and syntactic variants.

(Re)lendo os clássicos: trajetos de pesquisa

Neste artigo são abordados quatro momentos da história da pesquisa contemporânea sobre tradução e sua relevância para futuras pesquisas. Trata-se de uma (re)leitura de aspectos de obras que apontam para maneiras de se conduzir pesquisas na área que têm sido pouco examinados, possivelmente por terem sido ofuscados por tópicos de maior impacto tratados pelos autores. Berman é revisitado pela associação que faz entre crítica e história; Venuti, pela proposta de leitura sintomática; Lefevere e Bassnett, pela perspectiva de análise de traduções; e Arrojo, pelo questionamento da suposta neutralidade do sujeito que teoriza.

Uso de empréstimos na tradução de termos na área do sensoriamento remoto: uma análise baseada em corpus

Como o empréstimo de palavras ocorre em praticamente todas as línguas, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi examinar um corpus paralelo na área de sensoriamento remoto para analisar termos simples, complexos e compostos traduzidos por meio de empréstimo linguístico. Esta investigação baseou-se na abordagem adotada por CAMARGO (2005, 2007), a qual se apóia nos Estudos da Tradução Baseados em Corpus (BAKER, 1995, 1996; TOGNINI-BONELLI, 2001), na Linguística de Corpus (BERBER SARDINHA, 2004) e, em parte, na Terminologia (BARROS; KRIEGER & FINATTO, 2004). Para a extração dos dados foi utilizado o programa WordSmith Tools, versão 6.0 (SCOTT, 2012). No tocante aos resultados, foram encontrados termos traduzidos por meio de empréstimos com explicitação, quando de sua primeira utilização no texto.

Babel subjetiva ou a mais completa tradução: considerações sobre Budapeste de Chico Buarque

This paper discusses aspects of Budapest, by Chico Buarque, published in 2003. In the novel, a contingency takes the protagonist, a Brazilian, to Hungary. There, involved within a culture quite distinct from his, he has experiences in a strange language, which “even the devil respects”, and with an interesting woman, who teaches him the language. Both, language and woman, turns into mirrors that refract and put his subjective experience, as babelic as the Hungarian, up side down. Considering contingency as a category from the Real (Lacan) and translation as mechanism of subjective search of a blot origin (Derrida), at the same time transcreation (Haroldo de Campos), we will pinpoint some ways to the novel reading.

A contribuição de Lima Barreto para o entendimento da crítica educacional brasileira do início do século XX

This study aims at enhancing the understanding of the educational criticism in the beginning of the twentieth century, focusing on the ideas of Lima Barreto. Before the emergence of the "educational professionals", educational thought was developed by publicists and writers involved in a fertile debate, the results of which became visible in literary and journalistic production. Through the analysis of articles, short texts published in the press, novels and short stories written by Lima Barreto, it’s possible to gather a specific concept of education, underlying his criticism and fictional characterization of school education, as well as an interesting sketch of the cultural profile of Brazilian society at the time. Either explicitly or implicitly, in their evaluative and theoretical references, the limits of the critical readings of the author, which are expressed in the contradiction between negation of the given conditions and their affirmation, unveil the historical aspects of social and educational thinking and criticism.
