Critical linguistics in the early years : exploring functions of language through sophisticated picture books and process drama strategies

In this chapter we describe a critical fairytales unit taught to 4.5 to 5.5 year olds in a context of intensifying pressure to raise literacy achievement. The unit was infused with lessons on reinterpreted fairytales followed by process drama activities built around a sophisticated picture book, Beware of the Bears (MacDonald, 2004). The latter entailed a text analytic approach to critical literacy derived from systemic functional linguistics (Halliday, 1978; Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004). This approach provides a way of analysing how words and discourse are used to represent the world in a particular way and shape reader relations with the author in a particular field (Janks, 2010).

Contribuições teóricas e metodológicas para a constituição de corpora em pesquisa de variação/mudança linguística

This papers deals with theoretical and methodological problems concerning the definition of criteria for the selection of sources for the study of language. Our work discussed the use and the importance of genre in the process of corpora construction as variation search – synchronic and diachronic.

Query Rewriting Optimisation Techniques for Ontology-Based Data Access

Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) permite el acceso a diferentes tipos de fuentes de datos (tradicionalmente bases de datos) usando un modelo más abstracto proporcionado por una ontología. La reescritura de consultas (query rewriting) usa una ontología para reescribir una consulta en una consulta reescrita que puede ser evaluada en la fuente de datos. Las consultas reescritas recuperan las respuestas que están implicadas por la combinación de los datos explicitamente almacenados en la fuente de datos, la consulta original y la ontología. Al trabajar sólo sobre las queries, la reescritura de consultas permite OBDA sobre cualquier fuente de datos que puede ser consultada, independientemente de las posibilidades para modificarla. Sin embargo, producir y evaluar las consultas reescritas son procesos costosos que suelen volverse más complejos conforme la expresividad y tamaño de la ontología y las consultas aumentan. En esta tesis exploramos distintas optimizaciones que peuden ser realizadas tanto en el proceso de reescritura como en las consultas reescritas para mejorar la aplicabilidad de OBDA en contextos realistas. Nuestra contribución técnica principal es un sistema de reescritura de consultas que implementa las optimizaciones presentadas en esta tesis. Estas optimizaciones son las contribuciones principales de la tesis y se pueden agrupar en tres grupos diferentes: -optimizaciones que se pueden aplicar al considerar los predicados en la ontología que no están realmente mapeados con las fuentes de datos. -optimizaciones en ingeniería que se pueden aplicar al manejar el proceso de reescritura de consultas en una forma que permite reducir la carga computacional del proceso de generación de consultas reescritas. -optimizaciones que se pueden aplicar al considerar metainformación adicional acerca de las características de la ABox. En esta tesis proporcionamos demostraciones formales acerca de la corrección y completitud de las optimizaciones propuestas, y una evaluación empírica acerca del impacto de estas optimizaciones. Como contribución adicional, parte de este enfoque empírico, proponemos un banco de pruebas (benchmark) para la evaluación de los sistemas de reescritura de consultas. Adicionalmente, proporcionamos algunas directrices para la creación y expansión de esta clase de bancos de pruebas. ABSTRACT Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) allows accessing different kinds of data sources (traditionally databases) using a more abstract model provided by an ontology. Query rewriting uses such ontology to rewrite a query into a rewritten query that can be evaluated on the data source. The rewritten queries retrieve the answers that are entailed by the combination of the data explicitly stored in the data source, the original query and the ontology. However, producing and evaluating the rewritten queries are both costly processes that become generally more complex as the expressiveness and size of the ontology and queries increase. In this thesis we explore several optimisations that can be performed both in the rewriting process and in the rewritten queries to improve the applicability of OBDA in real contexts. Our main technical contribution is a query rewriting system that implements the optimisations presented in this thesis. These optimisations are the core contributions of the thesis and can be grouped into three different groups: -optimisations that can be applied when considering the predicates in the ontology that are actually mapped to the data sources. -engineering optimisations that can be applied by handling the process of query rewriting in a way that permits to reduce the computational load of the query generation process. -optimisations that can be applied when considering additional metainformation about the characteristics of the ABox. In this thesis we provide formal proofs for the correctness of the proposed optimisations, and an empirical evaluation about the impact of the optimisations. As an additional contribution, part of this empirical approach, we propose a benchmark for the evaluation of query rewriting systems. We also provide some guidelines for the creation and expansion of this kind of benchmarks.

Réécriture et défamiliarisation dans Mercier et Camier de Samuel Beckett, suivi de Deux hommes-parures

Dans ce mémoire de recherche-création en littératures de langue française, j’aborde la question des rapports entre les procédés de réécriture (par exemple, l’intertextualité, l’intratextualité et l’autotextualité, mais aussi les figures de la répétition et de la correction) et l’effet de défamiliarisation (ou de distanciation) au moyen d’un essai sur le roman Mercier et Camier de Samuel Beckett et d’une création littéraire de mon cru : un livre-objet constitué de trente et une feuilles non paginées et non reliées, sur lesquelles je réécris autant de fois l’incipit de Bouvard et Pécuchet, de Gustave Flaubert, en recourant à une mise en page qui défie le mode de lecture linéaire. Autant mon essai que ma création s’appliquent à montrer que les procédés de réécriture peuvent être employés pour produire un effet de défamiliarisation visant la fonction représentative de la littérature.

Running holograms in azopolymer films

We report investigations on running holograms recorded in an azopolymer film made of a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix doped with Disperse Red 1. Two-wave mixing experiments were carried out in the symmetrical transmission geometry. A stabilization technique was employed for active control of the phase shift between the real-time hologram and the interference pattern. Depending on the imposed phase shift, a running hologram propagates in the material in the form of an isomerization wave created by a continuous erasing-rewriting process. Diffraction efficiencies and the hologram velocities were measured as functions of the holographic phase shift at the wavelengths 515 and 488 nm. The experimental results were compared to theoretical curves obtained from a simplified model of the isomerization kinetics. The selective contributions of the phase and the amplitude gratings to the whole hologram were also determined. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

As construções verbais paratáticas: gramaticalização em português europeu

This paper aims to analyze the so-called paratactic verbal constructions, or PVCs, in contemporary European Portuguese. The PVCs are built from the cohesion of two inflected verbs, V1 and V2, connected or not by the conjunction e (and), and only the second verb retains its full semantic content. Our analysis follows the grammaticalization and functional linguistics approaches. The process of grammaticalization of the PVCs allowed the verbs ir (go), chegar (arrive), pegar (take) and agarrar (grab), in specific contexts such as the PVCs, to undergo changes in their morphosyntactic and semantic features, what leads its categorial status and its function to change.

Representações discursivas sobre lampião e seu bando em notícias de jornais mossoroenses (1927): “O mais audaz e miserável de todos os bandidos” e o seu “grupo de asseclas”

In this doctoral thesis analyzed the discursive representations of the bandit Lampião, the Lantern and his bandits gang in news mossoroenses newspapers published in the twenties of the last century (1927), when the gang invasion of the city of Mossoro in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, on June 13 of that year. To this end, we take as basis the theoretical assumptions of linguistics Textual, especially the narrower context of what is known today as Textual Analysis of the Discourses (ADT), theoretical and descriptive approach to linguistic studies of the text proposed by the French linguist Jean-Michel Adam. In this approach, we are interested in, specifically, the semantic level of the text, highlighting the notion of discursive representation, studied based on benchmarking operations, predication, modification, spatial location and temporal connection and analogy (ADAM, 2011; CASTILHO, 2010; KOCH, 2002, 2006; MARCUSCHI, 1998, 2008; NEVES, 2007; RODRIGUES, PASSEGGI & SILVA NETO, 2010). The corpus of this research consists of three reports in the twenties of the last century in newspapers The Mossoroense, Correio do Povo and the Northeast, and reconstituted through the collection held in the Municipal Museum Lauro Scotland files, Memorial Resistance Mossoro, both located in Natal, and in the news collection of Lampião newspapers in Natal, north of Rio Grande Raimundo Nonato historian. The discursive representations are built from the use of semantic analysis operations. Lampião to, the following representations are built: bandit, head of bandits, briber, defeated, Captain and Lord. To the outlaws of Lampião bunch of the following discursive representations were built: group, gang, gangsters, mates, bloodthirsty pack, brigands, bandits, criminals, burglar horde, and wild beasts. These representations reveal mainly the views of the newspapers of that time, which represented mainly the interests of traders, politicians, the government itself and generally Mossoró population.

Boris Vian adaptateur de la légende arthurienne : étude comparée de la pièce de théâtre et de l'opéra Le Chevalier de Neige

Ce mémoire interroge la posture d'adaptateur de Boris Vian, encore fort méconnue. En 1953, il a repris à son compte la littérature arthurienne afin d'écrire – en réponse à une commande de la part du Festival dramatique de Caen – une pièce de théâtre, Le Chevalier de Neige. Par la suite, cette pièce est devenue un opéra, produit à Nancy en 1957. Malgré le succès de ces deux spectacles, le souvenir de cette œuvre n'a pas dépassé la mort de son auteur. Il n'en reste aujourd'hui que les textes et les partitions musicales, puisqu'aucun des spectacles n'a été enregistré. L'objectif de ce mémoire est de mettre en lumière ce travail d'adaptation et de réécriture d'un auteur phare du XXème siècle, connu principalement pour ses romans et ses chansons, et qui a consacré ses dernières années à la création d'une œuvre globale alliant texte, musique et art de la scène. Qu'est-il possible de savoir sur l'entreprise du Chevalier de Neige? Quel est le poids de l'intertexte médiéval et contemporain dans ces deux réécritures? Quels furent les procédés d'adaptation mis en œuvre dans l'élaboration de cette pièce, puis de cet opéra? C'est à toutes ces questions que nous nous proposons de répondre, afin de découvrir l'importance et l'intérêt du Chevalier de Neige dans le parcours littéraire de Boris Vian.

O Uso de operações linguístico-discursivas da crítica genética na reescritura de textos

As a professor in Curso de Licenciatura em Letras, from Campus Avançado Profa Maria Eliza Albuquerque Maia (CAMEAM),do Estado do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), in the town of Pau do Ferros, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, we had the chance to carry out several writing activities , as well as guiding re-writing activities for the texts produced. From this experience, we started looking at the need of reflecting upon the writing process in higher education. Thus, we aim at analyzing, in this research, the methodology used in the moment of carrying out the writing practices activities in higher education, investigating, in particular, the rewriting practices, concerning the operations used for carrying out such activities, as well as the sense effects produced from the alterations which were made in the texts. Our theoretical foundation is grounded on a conception of text as a verbal action , what reveals a socio-interactional view of the language (MARCUSCHI, 2008; SAUTCHUK, 2003). As the production of written texts, our research focus, we assume that, for this activity, we deal with distinct figures (active writer and internal reader), so that we can, apart from writing, reflecting upon our writing and, this way, deciding about operations which are carried out to make the alterations which are necessary to the rewriting of our texts (SAUTCHUK, 2003). Still about the theoretical foundations used in this research, we made use of the theories from the Textual Analysis of Discourse (TAD) which discusses the belief on the evidence on the existence of the texts, which is opposite to the fixist view of textuality which believes that the texts exist by themselves. (ADAM, 2008; [2005]2010). Under this perspective, we have also adopted, the concepts which come from genetics criticism which is concerned about the relation between text and genesis, using as objects documents which bring traits of the text in progress, on the ground that the text is the result of work in progress, and the writing practice, on the other hand, as an activity in a continuous movement (HAY, [1975]2002; DE BIASI, [2000]2010; GRÉSILLON, 1989; [1990]2008; [1992]2002; SALLES, 2008a). The methodology in this research is an ethnography-based one, an approach which focuses on the process, as well as is meaning-based. To understand the objectives proposed in our research, we made use of different procedures of collecting data which include an ethnographic study, such as: observation, note-taking, document analysis. The data which were analyzed were collected during the semester of 2008.2, in a first term classroom of Curso de Letras from CAMEAM, when we were able to collect twenty-one written texts and all of them were rewritten based on rewriting activities, what provides a corpus of forty-two texts which will be analyzed based on the linguistics operations identified by Generative Grammar and adopted by Lebrave and Grésillon (2009). From these analyses, we were able to confirm that writing is a process, and rewriting has become an extremely important activity for this process. Still due to these data, we observed that substitution was the most used operation by text authors. We believe that this result is justified by the fact that the substitution, according to what proposes the Genetic Criticism, constitutes the source of all erasure, from which one can easily make a change in writing. Regarding the operations of addition and deletion, we found that they were used in quantitative terms, almost equivalently, which can be explained when we see that the two operations require, by the author of the text, different strategies from those used for the replacement, what includes , respectively, adding or removing a segment. Finally, we found out that the shift operation was the least used, since it works with a segment that will not be replaced, added or deleted, but transferred to another place of text, which requires a greater ability of the author to perform this operation and not compromising the meaning of his/her writing. As a result, we hope to contribute to the reflection on the teaching of writing, considering, in a particular way, those with a Bachelor in Arts. Our analysis will contribute to the teaching of Portuguese language, specifically for activities that guide the production of texts in order to explore with students the ability to rewrite their own text

Produção textual e ensino: os aspectos lógico-semântico-cognitivos da linguagem e o desempenho discursivo escolar

A produção textual escrita de alunos de 1ª série do ensino fundamental: sob a influência dos métodos de alfabetização

Com base em estudos que tomam como eixo central a alfabetização e o letramento, esta dissertação compreende uma investigação acerca da influência dos métodos de alfabetização, mais especificamente do método silábico e da proposta de alfabetização com base lingüística (ABL), na produção textual escrita de alunos de 1 série do Ensino Fundamental, alfabetizados ou pelo método silábico ou pela proposta ABL. Para tanto, este estudo partiu da hipótese de que a relação oralidade/escrita estabelecida pelo aluno em suas produções e a utilização de um número restrito de elementos coesivos que estabelecem as relações de sentido entre os enunciados que compõem o texto é, em parte, responsabilidade dos métodos e/ou propostas de alfabetização adotados. O diálogo estabelecido com autores que dão visibilidade à prática de alfabetizar letrando; os estudos sobre letramento, alfabetização, psicogênese da língua escrita e a produção de textos escolares ajudaram na condução desse trabalho, que além da pesquisa bibliográfica se valeu da pesquisa de campo realizada nas escolas N.S.A e L.C pertencentes à Rede Municipal de Ensino de Ananindeua e à Rede Privada de Ensino de Belém, respectivamente. Durante esta pesquisa, foram observados o desenvolvimento do trabalho de quatro professoras com turmas de alfabetização e da produção textual de doze alunos de duas turmas de 1 série da escola N.S.A; também foram aplicados dois questionários a sete professoras de turmas de alfabetização e 1 série das duas escolas citadas. A referida pesquisa tornou possível perceber que a alfabetização já começa a ser vista como um processo que visa não só ao domínio da tecnologia da leitura e da escrita, mas também aos usos sociais dessa tecnologia; mostra também que os alunos alfabetizados pela proposta ABL usam um maior número de elementos coesivos em suas produções que os alunos alfabetizados pelo método silábico e que a relação entre a fala e a escrita estabelecida na escrita de palavras é muito mais forte nas produções textuais escritas dos alunos alfabetizados pela ABL.
