Analysis and diagnosis of the instability affecting "La Bonita" area, Amagá, Antioquia, Colombia
Authors: Álvarez Gutiérrez Yennifer Yennifer , Montoya Cañola Sandra Marcela , Rendón Giraldo Diego Armando , Caballero Acosta José Humberto
Published: May 2015

In the "La Bonita" sector (Amagá, Antioquia), between km 3+200 and km 3+500 of the Camilo C. Restrepo (Amagá) - El Cinco (Fredonia) road, which is above the rocks of the upper member of the Amagá formation (conformed mainly by interbedded claystones, sandstones and thin beds of coal), occur many instability processes that seriously affect the infrastructure of the area, and could be the result of the variations of mechanical and mineralogical properties of the claystones by effect of humidity fluctuations in the study area. According to the results obtained after multiple field trips, mapping of morphodynamic processes, subsoil explorations and laboratory tests, was determined that these materials, even as a rock, given their particular characteristics, have the ability to expand (changing their volume by about 10%) upon contact with water, generating expansion pressures up to 700kPa on the overlying materials, leading to the development of multiple slow morphodynamic processes (whose rate is related to winter seasons) that destabilize the ground.

Published: May 2015

The role of the initial bacterial inoculates on the biocorrosion of API X52 pipeline steel coupons was evaluated by electrochemical noise technique. The experiments were performed under laboratory conditions using an aerobic bacteria identified as Achromobacter xylosoxidans. Inoculations in the interval strain of 1x104 – 1x108 CFU/ml were evaluated. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) analysis was carried out to evaluate the corrosive effects induced on the API X52 electrodes. The results show that all corroded surfaces show sites of localized corrosion, however, the density of de sites of localized corrosion have different grades depending of the initial inoculation used during the experiments. The maximum density sites of localized corrosion were obtained in the experiments with 1x105 CFU/ml. From inoculates of 1x106 CFU/ml the density sites of localized corrosion diminished constantly. The results show that with inoculates over 1x106 CFU/ml, the oxygen demand for the bacterial strain limits the presence of oxygen available into the metallic surface to maintain the corrosion reactions. The results were supported by the EDX analysis of the corrosion products formed on the metallic surfaces where the oxygen peaks diminished as the bacterial inoculation increases.

Chemical and structural characterization of four representative samples of an ore deposit located in the eastern of Hidalgo State was carried out. According with the results, it could be appreciate some areas showing silicified zones with abundant amounts of disseminated pyrites that are part of a rock unit from early Jurassic consisting in inter - bedded black shales and sandstones. Thus, the contents of base metal were greater than 30 ppm Zn and 9 ppm Cu. Chemical analysis of rock gave the following results; 82 ppm of Ba, 1.64 % Wt. Fe, 0.08 % Wt. Ti, 40.8 % Wt. Si, 20 ppm of Ce, 2.2 ppm Co, 30 ppm Cr, 2.7 ppm Cs, 0.9 ppm Er, 2.5 ppm Ga, 1.6 ppm Gd , 1.5 ppm Ge, 9 ppm La, 71 ppm Li, 104 ppm Mn, 10 ppm Nd , 17 ppm Rb, 2 ppm Se, 9 ppm Sr, 10 ppm Ta, 6 ppm Te, 28 ppm V, 9 ppm Y, and 0.7 ppm Yb, among others. Finally, the values found for precious metals, were; Au < 0.02 ppm, Pd <0.05 ppm, Pt <0.05 ppm. It was inferred that the low content of base metals in outcrop studied, are due to the alteration of the black shales. According to these results, we can consider a stratiform – type mineralization of Pb-Zn which could be prospective for SEDEX – Type deposit. By means of XRD, it was possible to identify; pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and minor amounts of sphalerite and Co -Ni arsenide.
Systematic Study on the Remote Triggering of Thermo-Responsive Hydrogels Using RF Heating of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles
Authors: Denmark Daniel , Mukherjee Devajyoti , Bradley Janae , Witanachchi Sarath , Mukherjee Pritish
Published: May 2015

In this work, a systematic study on the factors that influence the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) solutions during remote radiofrequency (RF) heating, using Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) is reported. A series of PNIPAM solutions with varying concentrations of Fe3O4 MNPs were prepared and characterized using transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Preliminary studies showed the highest specific absorption rate (SAR) for 15 nm sized Fe3O4 MNPs, which monotonically decreased as the MNP sizes increased to 20-30 nm. In-situ transmission measurements were used to determine the LCST of PNIPAM under various aqueous concentrations with dispersed Fe3O4 MNPs. A systematic decrease in the LCST from 34 °C to 31 °C was observed as the concentration of PNIPAM was increased from 0.3 wt. % to 1.0 wt. %, keeping the concentration of Fe3O4 MNPs constant. On the other hand, varying the concentrations of the MNPs did not drastically affect the LCSTs of PNIPAM solutions. However, varying the ion concentration of the PNIPAM solutions by adding adjusted KOH pellets, showed a pronounced lowering of the LCST by 2-3 °C at all PNIPAM concentrations. The remote triggering of phase transitions in PNIPAM solutions by raising the temperature above the LCST using Fe3O4 MNPs as reported here is important in targeted drug-delivery applications using thermo-responsive polymers.

The reliability of InAlGaN multiple quantum well LEDs emitting around 308 nm has been investigated. The UV-B LEDs were stressed at constant current and current density, while the heat sink temperature was varied between 15°C and 80°C. The results reveal two different modes of the decrease of the optical power during aging. First, a fast reduction of the optical power within the first 100 h (mode 1) can be observed, followed by a slower degradation for operation times >100 h (mode 2). Mode 1 can be described as an initial degradation activation process which saturates after a certain time, whereas the second degradation mode can be described by a square-root time dependence of the optical power, suggesting a diffusion process to be involved. Both degradation modes are accompanied by changes of the I-V characteristic, particularly the reverse-bias leakage current and the drive voltage. Furthermore, the degradation behavior is strongly influenced by the temperature. Both, the maximum reduction of the optical power and the increase of the leakage current become stronger at higher temperatures.

Does Timing Influence the Utility of Reduced Atrazine Rates for Proactive Resistance Management?
Authors: Recker Ross A. , Lauer Joseph G. , Stoltenberg David E. , Mitchell Paul D. , Davis Vince M.
Published: May 2015

Atrazine is an important herbicide for broadleaf weed control in corn. Use rates have declined in many corn production systems due to environmental concerns and the availability of other effective herbicides, especially glyphosate in glyphosate-resistant hybrids. However, using multiple effective herbicide modes of action is ever more important because occurrence of herbicide-resistant weeds is increasing. An experiment to compare application timings of reduced rates of atrazine to benefit resistance management in broadleaf weeds while protecting corn yield was conducted in Wisconsin across four site-years in 2012 and 2013. Herbicide treatments consisted of five atrazine rate and timing combinations and three POST base herbicides: glyphosate, glufosinate, and tembotrione. Metolachlor was applied PRE at 2.1 kg ai ha−1 for grass control in all treatments. A linear regression model estimated that atrazine rates ≥ 1.0 kg ai ha−1 applied PRE would prevent exposure of common lambsquarters plants to POST herbicides, but giant ragweed and velvetleaf exposure was not influenced by timing. Corn yield was also not influenced by atrazine rate and timing combinations at the α = 0.05 level; however, at P = 0.06, corn yield was greater for atrazine applied PRE at 1.1 kg ha−1 than for atrazine applied PRE at 0.5 kg ha−1, POST at 1.1 kg ha−1, or not at all. In summary, higher rates of atrazine applied PRE may improve yield, as reported by others, but this study concludes reduced rates of atrazine (i.e., ≤ 1.1 kg ha−1) applied to corn in a POST tank mixture combination provided more consistent control of giant ragweed, velvetleaf, and common lambsquarters compared with atrazine applied PRE. This information should help direct atrazine application timing applied POST when applied at low rates to improve proactive herbicide resistance management.
Cervical Cancer Screening Among Adult Women in China, 2010
Authors: Wang Baohua , He Minfu , Chao Ann , Engelgau Michael M. , Saraiya Mona , Wang Limin , Wang Linhong
Published: May 2015

Introduction.

Cervical cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women in China. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends routine screening for cervical cancer, and the WHO Global Monitoring Framework suggests that every nation monitors cervical cancer screening. However, little information is available on cervical cancer screening behavior among women in China.

Methods.

We used data from the 2010 China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance System that included 51,989 women aged 18 years and older. We report the proportion of women who reported ever having had a Papanicolaou (Pap) test, stratified by sociodemographic characteristics and geographic region. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was performed to adjust for potential confounders.

Results.

Overall, 21% of 51,989 women reported having ever had a Pap test. The highest proportion was reported among women aged 30–39 years (30.1%, 95% confidence interval, 26.8%–33.4%). In all geographic regions, women in rural areas were consistently less likely than women in urban areas to report having had a Pap test. Among women who reported ever having a Pap test, 82% reported having the most recent test in the past 3 years. Factors associated with reporting ever having a test were being aged 30–49 years, higher education, being married, and having urban health insurance.

Conclusion.

Our results indicate that screening programs need to be strengthened along with a more intense focus on specific demographic groups. National cervical cancer screening guidelines and comprehensive implementation strategies are needed to make screening services available and accessible to all women.

Implications for Practice:

This study is the largest nationwide and population-based assessment of self-reported history of Pap test for cervical cancer screening in China. This article describes cervical cancer screening behavior among women and examines key demographic and geographic factors. Only one fifth of Chinese women reported having ever had a Pap test for cervical cancer screening. The results highlight the urgent need to develop national cervical cancer screening guidelines and strategies that make screening services widely available, accessible, and acceptable to all women, especially to those who reside in rural areas and those with no health insurance.
Choice of Starting Dose for Biopharmaceuticals in First-in-Human Phase I Cancer Clinical Trials

Published: May 2015

Background.

First-in-human (FIH) trials of low-molecular-weight anticancer agents conventionally derive a safe start dose (SD) from one-tenth the severely toxic dose in 10% of rodents or one-sixth the highest nonseverely toxic dose (HNSTD) in nonrodent species. No consensus has been reached on whether this paradigm can be safely applied to biotechnology-derived products (BDPs).

Materials and Methods.

A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all BDPs (excluding immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody drug conjugates) with sufficient nonclinical and clinical data to assess the safety of hypothetical use of one-sixth HNSTD in an advanced cancer FIH trial.

Results.

The search identified 23 BDPs, of which 21 were monoclonal antibodies. The median ratio of the maximum tolerated or maximum administered dose (MTD or MAD) to the actual FIH SD was 36 (range, 8–500). Only 2 BDPs reached the MTD. Hypothetical use of one-sixth HNSTD (allometrically scaled to humans) would not have exceeded the MTD or MAD for all 23 BDPs and would have reduced the median ratio of the MTD or MAD to a SD to 6.1 (range, 3.5–55.3). Pharmacodynamic (PD) markers were included in some animal toxicology studies and were useful to confirm the hypothetical SD of one-sixth HNSTD.

Conclusion.

One-sixth HNSTD would not have resulted in unacceptable toxicities in the data available. Supporting its use could reduce the number of dose escalations needed to reach the recommended dose. A low incidence of toxicities in animals and humans underscores the need to identify the pharmacokinetic and PD parameters to guide SD selection of BDPs for FIH cancer trials.

Implications for Practice:

Start dose (SD) for biotechnology-derived products (BDPs) can be safely derived from one-sixth the highest nonseverely toxic dose in nonrodent species and may reduce the number of dose escalations needed to reach the recommended dose in first-in-human studies while limiting unnecessary exposure to high drug levels in humans. The use of this type of SD could improve the design of phase I studies of BDPs by making them more efficient. The role of preclinical pharmacodynamic markers was useful in confirming the hypothetical SD, and attempts should be explored in future animal studies to identify such parameters.

The Collapse of the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires and the Brutalisation of the Successor States

This essay explores the interconnected issues of demobilisation and brutalisation in the collapsing Habsburg and Ottoman empires in the period immediately after 1918. Post-imperial Austria, Hungary and Turkey witnessed the emergence of sizeable paramilitary subcultures that were shaped by the successive traumatising experiences of war, defeat, territorial disintegration, occupation, and revolution – nationalist or socialist. Members of these subcultures fed on a doctrine of ethnic nationalism and shared a determination to use violence in order to suppress real or alleged internal enemies and to avenge their perceived humiliations resulting from military defeat. Ex-officers brutalised by wars and infuriated by their outcomes joined forces with, and transmitted their «values» to, members of a younger generation, who compensated for their lack of combat experience by often surpassing the war veterans in terms of radicalism, activism and brutality. Together the veterans and members of the «war youth generation» formed ultra-militant milieux that differed from the «community of the trenches» in their social make-up, their «liberation» from the constraints of military discipline, and their self-imposed post-war mission of destroying external and internal enemies.

Violence in Defence of Empire: The British Army and the 1919 Egyptian Revolution

The Egyptian revolution of spring 1919 posed a serious challenge to British imperial rule in the wake of the First World War, and has traditionally been examined solely through political, diplomatic and economic lenses. Within these approaches the counter-revolutionary response of the British colonial state, principally involving the use of military force, has been ignored. The British military campaign to suppress the 1919 Egyptian revolution was one of the most significant and violent operations launched to contain anti-colonial nationalist unrest during the 1919–1922 «crisis of empire» period. This article addresses the general development of the campaign to end the revolutionary upheaval and focuses in on two case studies to examine how British army units, often isolated from assistance, dealt with unrest. The violent nature of the campaign to suppress the revolution highlights the flexible and context specific nature of British imperial policing as it developed after 1918, and challenges assumptions on the «minimum necessary force» approach that has come to characterise Britain's small colonial wars of the twentieth century.

Published: May 2015

The aim of this article is to discuss the way the Portuguese Creoleof Guinea-Bissau codifies the semantically opposite actions ofundoing (DE-ACTION) and redoing (RE-ACTION) an act, not onlymorphologically, but also semantically and ecologically, i.e., intheir interralations with the social ecosystem of which they arepart. ln the lexifier language (Portuguese), they are codifiedprefixally, namely, by means of des- ‘un-, de-’ and re- ‘re-’,respectively. Using the methodology of corpus linguistics, I showthat the creole codifies only DE-ACTION morphologically, via theprefix dis-. As to RE-ACTION, lt is expressed only syntactically, bymeans of the equivalent of “again”, exactly as in children’s speech.The findings are compared to what happens in other lexifier creolesand in Portuguese. Some suggestions are given for why creole hasonly the prefix dis-, but not its opposite. Finally, I suggest that thebehavior of dis- in this language calls for an independentmorphological component of the grammar roughly like what canbe seen in lexical phonology and morphology.

Branching nucleiand rhymes are the structures which most clearly determine thevalue of vowels in unstressed positions. As we will see throughoutthis paper, vowel reduction is clearly conditioned by syllablestructures.

Published: May 2015

This paper presents a task for phoneme discrimination as part of a more comprehensive set of tasks for psycholinguistic assessment of language currently under development (TAL-UFMG). The task consists of 40 pairs of monosyllabic nonwords, from which 20 pairs are made of two copies of the same syllable and 20 pairs differ in relation to one single feature (voice, place or mode of articulation) of their first consonant. This list of syllable pairs was presented in random order to 8 adult aphasic patients (experimental group) and 55 normal young adults (control group). Participants were asked to indicate after each pair whether it consisted of either equal or different syllables. The experimental group made 60.6% correct answers versus 97.5% by the control group. Differences were larger among voiced/unvoiced stimuli. The consistency ofthe task (Kuder-Richardson) for the experimental group was 0.823.Thus, the task is able to distinguish between normal and abnormal populations and, within each, between stimulus differences.

We present a description of the phonological phrase in a variety ofBrazilian Portuguese spoken in the State of Goiás, according mainlyto Nespor and Volgel’s theory of constituents (1994). Other sourcesare Mira Mateus (1990) and Tcheremíssina (1969).We intend to demonstrate that it is important to consider someprosodic elements, such as pauses, rhythm, stress, time and sandhiin order to identify phonological phrase in a more adequate way.

A análise de características acústico-prosódicas foi conduzida em umbanco de dados de fala espontânea, com o propósito de construirum sintetizador de fala capaz de sintetizar uma fala expressiva, ouseja, vários estilos de fala. Os estilos de fala foram categorizadosde acordo com os seguintes itens: estado emocional percebido(neutro, preocupado, contente, insatisfeito, bravo, cansado, etc.);atitude com respeito ao ouvinte (grau de polidez, gentileza,consideração); atitude com respeito ao conteúdo da fala (grau deconfiança, envolvimento, interesse); qualidade da voz (energia, brilho,dureza). As seguintes características acústicas foram analisadas: F0 e RMS (relacionados à altura e à intensidade da voz), terceiro equarto formantes (F3 e F4, relacionados com o comprimento dotrato vocal, e podem estar correlacionados com o grau de extensãodos lábios), e quociente de amplitude (AQ – “amplitude quocient”,relacionado com o tipo de fonação da voz). Análise de componentesprincipais e coeficientes de correlação foram usados para avaliaros dados. Os resultados indicaram correlação entre algumascategorias do estilo da fala e da qualidade de voz, por exemplo,energia e envolvimento, brilho e interesse, gentileza e dureza.Correlações significativas foram obtidas entre qualidade de voz ecaracterísticas acústico-prosódicas. Valores médios de F0, RMS, AQe F4 foram encontrados como sendo os parâmetros mais influentesna qualidade de voz, indicando que uma combinação destascaracterísticas acústicas pode, possivelmente, ser usada para predizerqualidades de voz.
A identificação fonêmica do discurso de estudantes brasileiros na língua russa
Authors: Castro Tanira
Published: May 2015

The Portuguese language, in the discourse of Brazilians, has specificfeatures that are manifest in a more evident form in its lexis andphonetics, which allows us to speak, therefore, of a BrazilianPortuguese. Leaving aside the discussion of the status of BrazilianPortuguese, we must take into consideration the indisputably broadvariability of its phonetic system, which is due not only to linguisticbut also to sociolinguistic factors, which, in their turn, cannot buthave an influence on the phonetic formation of Brazilian discourseduring, for example, the learning of the Russian language (RL).Besides, the written form of some letters, both in Portuguese andRussian, causes not only phonetic but also graphic-phoneticinterference to arise whether during reading, writing, or oral discourse. The specifics of the native language of Brazilians istransferred to the discourse in the RL, mainly during the initialstage of learning. Research on the phonetic interference of thediscourse of Brazilians who study the RL, is still in the early phase,but, even so, through the experimental results already obtained,we can speak of the specific and universal features of itsmanifestation. A priori, these violations have an orthoepic andorthophonic character, for they have a lot to do with the differentialand integral criteria of the phonemes, since these violations mayoccur because of the specific distributive and phonotactical relationsof the languages in question. The sources of the errors can besubjectively defined by the manner in which the learner assimilaresand perceives the physical and linguistic functions of both languages.Both in written and oral discourse, the action of graphic-phoneticinterference is observed.

The aim of this research was to continue the work in articulatory synthesis. Thus, a database was collected, containing the nasal sounds of European Portuguese (EP). This corpus includes the different phonetic contexts for the nasal vowels of EP, focusing on the regional variants. The recordings include voice signal, and, simultaneously,information about glottal source, obtained through an Electroglotograph (EGG). After the signal processing the following parameters were analysed:duration, F0, open quotient, jitter and shimmer. Finally, statistical and inferential analysis was made using the programme SPSS.

O autor
Authors: Auto João Miguel Moreira
Published: May 2015

The aim of this article is to discuss some important questions onthe meaning of the concept of “author”. First, it explains how RolandBarthes criticizes such a notion by stressing the reader’s role in thecomprehension of a text’s meaning. Then, Foucault is mentioned:he notes the important role the reader plays for the unity of thetext’s sense, but he is also aware of the possibility of a readable“author function”; the reader himself is the one who makes usrealize the actual existence of authorship. Also discussed is Possenti’shypothesis that it is possible to look for traces of authorship, forexample, in a simple text. Finally the following definition of theconcept is proposed: authorship is a kind of linguistic and discursiveattitude, an act of inscription by which the agent takes one’s standand articulates foregoing discourses and a later reception, accordingto personal tactics and specific style.

Authors: Felippo Ariani Di , Silva Bento Bento Carlos Dias-da-
Published: May 2015

Considering urgent the demand for the construction oflinguistically-motivated lexicons for Natural Language Processingsystems, this paper presents a linguistic-computationalrepresentation for the Brazilian Portuguese adjectives that projecta valence. In order to propose this representation, the microstructureof the mental lexicon and the conception of lexical item areinvestigated from a (psycho)linguistic perspective. In addition,(i) the main properties of the valence adjectives are describedand (ii) some of the main lexical-grammatical representationformalisms are investigated. Finally, a lexical entry template forthese adjectives based on the features structures or attributevaluematrix formalism is proposed.
Reconhecimento de palavras reais e de não-palavras em crianças de 1a a 4a série: uma tarefa de decisão lexical
Authors: Pinheiro Ângela Maria V. , Costa Anna Edith B. da , Justi Francis Ricardo R.
Published: May 2015

This paper describes the results of a lexical decision task whichwas applied to groups of children in 1st – 4th grades. The mainobjective was to obtain preliminary measurements on which tobase the development of a final version of the same type of task,to be included in the computerized evaluation tool AVACLE (cognitive assessment of reading and writing abilities), already inthe final stage of development by Pinheiro and collaborators. 68children were presented individually with a mixed list of wordsand non-words and instructed to press the Yes-key for words andthe No-key for non-words. Decision reaction time (DRT) and errorpercentage were recorded. As expected, words were recognisedmore rapidly than non-words for all grades. In terms of error, thislexical effect was only significant for 3rd graders. The frequencyeffect was significant for both DRT and accuracy only for 2nd gradersand on DRT for 1st and 3rd graders. The results show how theorthographic lexicon develops, and are discussed according to theinformation processing approach. The test proved to be efficientand, with minimal modifications, will be used as part of the finalversion of the AVACLE evaluation tool.
O ethos da auto-ajuda

Published: May 2015

In this paper, based on French Discourse Analysis, following thetheory developed by Maingueneau, we investigate the ethos ofself-help counselling literature, by analysing the enunciativecharacteristics of this discourse. The analysis reveals that the ethosof self-help counselling literature is the ethos of the confident andtrustful man, the man who has no fears, no doubts and nevercomplains, because he deeply belives in his own success. Thiskind of man is also a man of a action, who is always concentratedon his owns attairs. The analysis also reveals that self-help cousellingliterature promotes its owns enunciative characteristics.

This is an experimental study which aimed at investigating theralationsship between working memory capacity and measuresof L2 speech performance in a picture description task. The mainassumption underlying the present study was that L2 speaking isa complex cognitive task which is carried out within theconstraints of a limited-capacity system, namely, working memory.In this system, there are trade-off effects between the storage andprocessing functions of working memory just as in L2 speakingthere are trade-off effects among fluency, accuracy and complexitywhen L2 learners perform under processing pressure.
Análise do “Glossário” das Cantigas de Santa Maria elaborado por Walter Mettmann (1972)
Authors: Duchowny Aléxia Teles , Saraiva Maria Olívia de Quadros
Published: May 2015

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the presence and theconsistency of criteria in the Glossary of the Cantigas de SantaMaria, edited by Walter Mettmann in 1972. The Cantigas, compiledin the end of the thirteenth century by Afonso X and hiscollaborators from Toledo, are one of the most extensive collectionsof poetry, iconography and music in Medieval Portuguese.Cambraia (2000) and Cunha (1966) were taken into account, dueto their regularity and meticulousness. Emphasis was given to theanalysis on the way the author deals with the extent of theGlossary, the constitution of its articles and the idiomaticexpressions. The absence of explicit norms to elaborate theGlossary is a serious deficiency of this edition, forcing its readerto deduce these norms. It is not our intention to find solutions toall the omissions found in the Glossary, but to point out a bodyof clear and coherent norms.

Published: May 2015

This paper focuses on NumP, an independent projection for number,which was proposed in pre-minimalist research (Picallo, 1991; Ritter,1991). Arguments for the relevance of maintaining it as anindependent projection in a minimalist framework, contrary toChomsky (1999), who assumes number is one of the j-featuresassociated to N, are provided. The consequences such presenceimposes for DP internal agreement phenomenon are discussed andsome alternatives to account for it are offered.
O imperativo gramatical no português brasileiro
Authors: Cardoso Daisy Barbara Borges
Published: May 2015

Este artigo pretende descrever e analisar o uso variável do imperativo gramatical no português brasileiro e sua correlação com a sintaxe de negação. Discutiremos também aspectos históricos e morfossintáticos subjacentes à variação do fenômeno. Essa variação se dá em relação à previsão da gramática tradicional que, em contexto de pronome você explícito, prevê o uso de formas verbais associadas ao subjuntivo para o imperativo gramatical afirmativo e negativo. Os dados apresentados de língua falada e escrita ilustram as estratégias de negação no português brasileiro e sua relação com o uso do imperativo gramatical. Após a análise dos dados e dos fatos apresentados, levantam-se duas hipóteses:i. mitigação dos atos de fala, para justificar o aumento do uso de imperativo verdadeiro em estruturas com negação pós-verbal e dupla negação; ii. enfraquecimento/perda gradual da morfologia imperativa no português brasileiro, para justificar a negação do imperativo verdadeiro.
