Demosntrativos e o fio do discurso
Authors: Cardoso Sílvia Helena Sarbi
Published: May 2015

Linguistic as well as phylosophical tradition do not tak:e inta account a discoursive leveI of reference, necessarily ideological, that determines the 'exoforic' or 'anaphoric' deixis. From the analysis ofthe demonstrative pronouns of spoken POrWguese, this work proposes that the demonstrative pronouns, fimctioning either as determiners ar as noun phrases as a whole, constitute a privileged place ofcontact that the discourse event keeps with its specific exterior or with its interdiscoursive domain.
Tempo, Modo e Aspecto verbal na estruturação do discurso narrativo
Authors: Azevedo Adriana Maria Tenuta
Published: May 2015

This paper presents an analysis of the verbal categories of Tense, Aspect and Mood as having the discourse function ofdistinguishing linguistic material from the foreground and background parts ofnarratives in the Portuguese language. The corpus analysed was taken from spontaneous oral narratives from speakers of Brazilian Portuguese.
Nasalidade no Aguaruna
Authors: Lee Seung Hwa
Published: May 2015

lnthe previous studies ofautosegmental phonology, the nasal harmony was considered as the universally conditionedharmony process, like tone, [±back], [ATR].lnthis paper, following the theory ofClements (1991), I propose that the language particular association convention should be assumed to explain the nasal harmony in Aguruna.
Um modelo de leitura
Authors: Cascarelli Carla Viana , Dillinger Mike
Published: May 2015

This paper proposes a model ofreading processing based mainly on Fodor's (1983) theory ofthe modularity ofthe mind. According to this model there are many domains ofprocessing in reading. Some ofthem are part of the linguistic module and others are part ofthe cognitive processor. Among the domains of the linguistic module there are lexical access and sintactic parsing. To build up the propositional scheme of a text and to integrate the propositional macrostructure of the text to the reader's previous knowledge are tasks ofthe cognitive processor. This model also proposes aninterface between the linguistic module and the cognitive processor, where semantic parsing takes place.
A influência da constituição morfológica da forma verbal na ausência de concordância em Português
Authors: Nicolau Eunice Maria das Dores
Published: May 2015

ln this paper I analyse the influence ofthe morphological constitution ofthe verbal form onthe absence ofagreement between the verb and the NP subject of 3pp (third person of plural) in the colloquial Brazilian Portuguese. According to the results this absence is significantly more ftequent in the "regular" verbs (falalfalam, comei comem, fazlfazem, etc.) than in the other verbs (i.e. the ''non-regular" verbs). The central claim is that these results are due to the peculiar behavior ofthe ''regular'' verbs where lack ofagreement is the result of the interaction between variable processes - a morphosyntactic synchronic nde and some phonological diachronic processes.
O morfo-sintático e a construção da escrita
Authors: Silva Samuel Moreira
Published: May 2015

Cet article a pour but de créer le débat sur la question de l'interférence de la morpho-syntaxe comme une composante de la compétence linguistique, cette demiere, elle-même, médiatrice, à côté d'autres aptitudes, dans le processus de la construction de la connaissance du systeme d'écriture. Dn parallele s'établit , tout d'abord, entre la façon de voir la compétence phonologique et la compétence morpho syntaxique, la premiere ayant clairs ses points de reperes, et l'autre étant plongée dans une espece de brouillard théorique, aux lignes fioues, incertaines, obscures. La relation entre l'écriture et l'oralité - dont f'opposition est esquissée par la suitejoue un rôle important dans la discussion.
Dependência sintática e processos morfofonêmicos
Authors: Mollica Maria Cecília
Published: May 2015

This study deals with the Sândi phenomena as a mot!vated and a variable role. It focuses the relationship between the syntactic dimension and the morphophonological system Df the Portuguese language. The data show that a strong syntactic dependence decreases the probability of loss of segments in the boundary of the words.
Da estrutura frasal à estrutura discursival

This artieIe presents a diachronic study ofsecond Ianguage teaching approaches as far as the notion of "structure" is concemed. The study demonstrates that the emphasis on syntatic strocture was a charaeteristic of the grammar-translation, the direet and the stroctural approaches. ln the communicative approach, it is shown, that discourse strocture became the main focus.
Transitividade e passiva
Authors: Cunha Maria Angélica Furtado
Published: May 2015

This paper presents a study of passive sentences of the type SUBJECT - BE - PAST PARTICIPLE - PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE. The data include formal written Portuguese as well as spoken Portuguese elicited in interviews. The pragrnatic function of the passive conceming text organization is discussed. The gradient notion of transitivity is employed as an indicator of the portion of the text (foreground/background) where the passive tends to occur.
O pronome de primeira pessoa do singular no discurso coloquial espontâneo
Authors: Marinho Janice Helena Resende
Published: May 2015

This paper describes the functional situation of the first person singular subject pronoun (PPl), in Brazilian Portuguese, in colloquial and spontaneous discourse. I point out data obtained from informal conversations which indicate the major presence of PPl in orallanguage and I also analyse several linguistic factors which could be contributing to its use, even when it seems not to be necessary.

Análise descritiva dos verbos psicológicos do português brasileiro
Authors: Cançado Márcia
Published: May 2015

This paper presents a descriptive analysis of the psychological verbs in Brazilian Portuguese. A new classification for these verbs is proposed: in the current literature we find two classes of psychverbs; I propose four different classes based on a fine-grained approach of thematic relations. AIso, I make a thorough revision of many syntactic and semantic properties of psych-verbs. Accorcling to this analysis, I present some clues towards a semantic approach to the problems related to those verbs. As there are interesting questions related to psych-verbs conceming the organization of argument structure, I hope the data presented are useful to other researchers from different lines, working with Brazilian Portuguese.
On the ideological underpinnings of the theory of speech acts
Authors: Rajagopalan Kanavillil
Published: May 2015

Este trabalho procura pleitear que a Teoria dos Atos de Fala, tal qual ela foi reformulada pelo filósofo norte-americano J. R. Searle, tem uma dimensão fortemente ideológico-política. Essa constatação em si não deveria despertar nenhum espanto, não fosse o fato de que os filósofos 'analíticos', contrariamente aos assim chamados 'Continentais', costumam insistir em que suas posições filosóficas estão acima de qualquer ideologia. A argumentação desenvolvida neste trabalho se baseia numa leitura crítica de um tratado político (pouco conhecido entre nós) da autoria de Searle, intitulado de The Campus War, a fim de mostrar que, em última análise, a ideologia que sustenta a obra é a mesma que se depreende das demais obras do filósofo.
O percurso histórico da acentuação em português através da análise do ritmo das cantigas de amigo
Authors: Cagliari Gladis Massini
Published: May 2015

This work aims to outline the historical route of Portuguese stress, through the analysis of three cmcial points in the language temporal continuum: LATIN, ARCHAIC PORTUGUESE, anel BRAzmAN PORTUGUESE. TIle emphasis is given to the description of the Archaic Portuguese stress attribution process, anel the corpus is constituteel by aU the "cantigas ele amigo· of the Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa, composeel between the enel of the XIIth century anel the beginning of the XIVth century. The theoretical framework adopteel here comes from the conceptions of parametric change - following Lightfoat (1991) - anel af nanlinear phonology - specially Hayes' (1991) metrical theory anel Mohanan's (1986) lexical theory. The analysis shows that aU these three perioels of the language adopt the sarne rhythmic basic foot (the moraic trochee) - anel the sarne choice referring to the setting of aU other rhythmic parameters vaue. The only exception is the value of the extrametrical constituent parameter. We concluele that there is no change in the. stress mie from Latin to Brazilian Portuguese. The changes verified in the extrametrical constituent parameter value setting are, in fact, consequence of a major linguistic change, not in the formulation of the stress rule itself, but in the moelule of its application (from postlexical to lexical component), in the Grammar, and in its elomain of application.
Lançando anzóis: uma análise cognitiva de processos mentais em tradução
Authors: Silva Jr. Fábio Alves
Published: May 2015

TIle search for a general concept which would explain concisely the nature of the translation process has been an ongoing theme within the field of Translation TIleory. Lately, this search has pondered on the nature of translation both as a product and a process and produced several attempts towards such a concept. However, ali of these attempts have remained, at their best, at a c1assificatory leveI. Trying to fil! this conceptual gap, this article criticizes the applicability of concepts such as equivalence and adequacy within the field of Translation Theory and, then, drawing on Sperber & Wilson (986), it offers a complementary view, based on Relevance TIleory, which amalgamates both Shannon and Weaver's (1949) Code Model and Grice's (957) lnferential Model. The theoretical discussion is illustrated with empirical material collected by means of thinking-aloud protocols from German/ Portuguese translations.

Avaliação de dialetos brasileiros: o sotaque
Authors: Ramos Jânia
Published: May 2015

This paper presents scores of attitude tests applied in five Brazilian cities: Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Florianópolis, João Pessoa and Porto Alegre. The results made possible the identification of a narrow relationship between self-confidence and cultural identity: the more people in a city are aware of the difference between their dialect and the dialect used by the media the proudes they are of their accent. It is exactly this accent which received the highest scores of acceptability by the speakers of other accents.
Canonicidade silábica e aprendizagem da escrita
Authors: Alvarenga Daniel , Oliveira Marco Antonio de
Published: May 2015

In this paper we examine the influence of the syllable structure of spoken Portuguese on the acquisition of written forms. Our main hypothesis is that spoken language offers a first model for the construction of written forms and so, by identifying the syllabic coda as a point of instability in spoken Portuguese, since it is subject to many phonological processes, we may predict that students will also present writing variations exactly at these same points. Our investigation takes into account structural as well as non-structural factors and we conclude that there is a strong correlation between instability in the syllabic coda and variation in their weitten representation.
O coronel Ponciano como sujeito discursivo, em O Coronel e o Lobisomem
Authors: Fernandes Cleudemar Alves
Published: May 2015

We consider that the subject results from a complex frame-work: there is a “self” which is the result of “other selves”. In that sense we developed in this study a discourse analysis of the protagonist of the novel O Coronel e o Lobisomem giving attention to the linguistic aspects that mark the subjectivity presence in the discourse and to the aspects that mark the exterior presence in the discourse.
Resultados de análises quantitativas da representação do sujeito no PB: indícios de uma nova gramática?
Authors: Nicolau Eunice Maria das Dores
Published: May 2015

In this paper I discuss the characterization of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) in terms of the possibility of null subjects. Some recent analyses (TARALLO:1993b, DUARTE:1993/1995 and MENON:1994) have argued, on the basis of quantitative results, that BP has lost its prodrop character. But other variationist analyses (PAREDES DA SILVA:1988; NEGRÃO:1990; NICOLAU:1994; etc.) prove that BP can be characterized as presenting the possibility of null subjects. I show then that the proposal of linguistic change mentioned above cannot be maintained when faced with the Principles & Parameters model (cf. CHOMSKY:1981-1995). In other words, I show that the quantitative results of the variationist analyses cannot be considered as evidence of a parametric change or, more specifically, of the emergence of a new grammar.
Benveniste: enunciação e referência
Authors: Cardoso Sílvia Helena Sarbi
Published: May 2015

The aim of this paper is to show how concerned Benveniste was with the theme of ‘reference’ or the relationship between language and reality. The reintroduction of this theme into Linguistics breaks new ground by showing how the study of language can be combined with an interest in broader problems of social analysis. Benveniste provides a concise and critical review of the problem of ‘meaning’ in Linguistics. In spite of being accused of a lack of historical postulates, Benveniste’s contributions are of paramount mportance for discourse analysis, especially in the French tradition.
English language teaching: linguistic and cultural imperialism?
Authors: Hunter James Duncan
Published: May 2015

Este trabalho examina a posição do Inglês como língua internacional em termos de forças políticas e econômicas que contribuíram para a posição dominante do inglês na arena mundial. O trabalho examina a acusação de que o ensino de inglês como segunda língua ou língua estrangeira contribui para o imperialismo lingüístico e cultural e desafia o pressuposto de que os falantes nativos de inglês são necessariamente os melhores professores. Recomenda- se aos profissionais de língua inglesa a adoção de uma filosofia de relativismo pragmático na sua avaliação das necessidades do aprendiz de forma a evitar tendências etnocêntricas em seus currículos.
A relação entre pragmática, semântica e gramática
Authors: Blühdorn Hardarik
Published: May 2015

AbstractThe present paper examines the relationship between pragmatics, semantics and grammar as subdisciplines of linguistics from three different perspectives. The first section gives a historical survey of their development during the 20th century and classifies linguistic schools according to their interest in different fields of research. The second part presents a systematic model of the field of objects to be investigated by linguistics, aiming at a more precise delimitation of its subdisciplines. Finally, in the third section, the division of labour between pragmatics, semantics and grammar is discussed in the light of the concrete example of verb valence.
Representação mental do sujeito nulo no português do Brasil
Authors: Novaes Celso
Published: May 2015

AbstractThis work presents a study of the mental representation of the null subject in Brazilian Portuguese. The analysis of the data is based on the theoretical framework established by Speas (1995). Based on the data collected from five radio and TV interviews, I propose that the null subject in Brazilian Portuguese be represented in two different ways. In the first person, the null subject has a pronominal nature, which places the Brazilian Portuguese together with languages such as Italian and Spanish. In the other persons, the null subject presents a variable nature, which places the Brazilian Portuguese among languages like Chinese and Japanese.

AbstractThis essay classifies sub-topic closing in two categories: the phrastic, in which the discurse sections are developed in a linear manner, in contrast with the paraphrastic, in which the rhetorical closing recycles the previous information. The data are then subjected to a computational programme which selects factors, which determine the same paraphrastic closing: (–) world knowledge; (+) argumentation; (+) subjectivity; (+) basic sentence; (+) the female sex.
Línguas bárbaras e peregrinas do Novo Mundo segundo os gramáticos jesuítas: uma concepção de universalidade no estudo de línguas estrangeiras1
Authors: Rosa Maria Carlota
Published: May 2015

AbstractIn this paper I explore the reflection of the religious context in the concept of universal grammar as it is presented in four missionary grammars written by Jesuit priests in Brazil: Anchieta (1595), Figueira (1621?), Dias (1697) e Mamiani (1699). In the last few decades linguists have seen the return of the expression universal grammar to the literature, as a consequence of the influence of Noam Chomsky’s work. The hypothesis of a common core for all languages has its roots in a tradition which goes back to the Middle Ages. In the Christian West it was thought that the endowment given by God to Adam was uncovered by the confusion of tongues, as a punishment for the Tower of Babel. Therefore the concept of universality in those grammars has its grounds in a very different framework from the chomskyan UG. AbstractIn this paper I explore the reflection of the religious context in the concept of universal grammar as it is presented in four missionary grammars written by Jesuit priests in Brazil: Anchieta (1595), Figueira (1621?), Dias (1697) e Mamiani (1699).

A natureza categorial da preposição
Authors: Berg Márcia Barreto
Published: May 2015

Abstract The aim of this paper is to identify the categorial nature of preposition, from the perpective of Chomsky’s Generative Grammar (1981/1995). The preposition has been described as a lexical, uniform category, defined by the features [ N, V]. This classification is not consensual, however. We therefore made a survey of the proprieties that distinguish the lexical from the functional, applied the properties to the data of Brazilian Portuguese and came to conclusion thatprepositions belong to the functional category.
A pesquisa etnográfica e sua importância para os estudos de aquisição de língua estrangeira
Authors: Pinto Denise de Souza Silva
Published: May 2015

Abstract This article intends to give a general view of the discussions around a scientific method of classroom research called ethnography. This research method came from the social sciences with a clear concern for providing a cultural explanation of social groups. But, within the field of applied linguistics, the tradition of a quantitative view of research brought some other concerns to this research method, such as validity and reliability. However, in relation to the definition and to the essential elements of ethnography there is agreement among all authors.
Foco e topicalização: delimitação e confronto de estruturas
Authors: Gonçalves Carlos Alexandre
Published: May 2015

Abstract Left Deslocation (LD) and Focus (F) are phenomena characterized for putting in relief a constituent of the oral text. In other words, they are focusing strategies frequently used in Brazilian Portuguese (BP).For this reason, I intend to confront them in this paper, in order tocheck (a) their limits and (b) their structural domains. Thus, my purpose is to answer the following questions: (i) Are these phenomena independent, or do they exert mutual influence in at least some ways? (ii) Is there an obligated superposing between them? (iii) if not, what are the actuation domains (syntactic and/or phonological) of LD and F? (iv) What are the prosodic features of LD and F constituents? (v) What kinds of discursive-pragmatic phenomena motivate LD and F? My main aim is to show that LD shouldn’t be analized as a focus marker in BP, because Focus must be faced as a prosodic category that require a Contrastive Intonation.
Um cenário para a crioulização sem pidginização
Authors: Do Couto Hildo Honório
Published: May 2015

Abstract Taking the “principles of historical phonology” – formulated in the 30s by Jakobson – as a starting point, my aim in this article is to show that the traditional “life-cycle” model of creole grammar formation is not the best one. It presupposes the problematic concepts of pidgin and nativization. I show that a better alternative would be to consider that creole grammar is formed when the mixed medium of interethnic communication resulting from the contact of mutually unintelligible languages becomes the primary language of the emerging community. Therefore, communalization is more important than nativization. Additionally, I show that the processes which occur in creole formation are very common elsewhere. .

Paralelismo lingüístico
Authors: Scherre Maria Marta Pereira
Published: May 2015

Linguistic parallelism has been widely discussed in variationistliterature as an independent variable, often in the form of repetitionof the same variant of the dependent variable, in many linguisticphenomena and in a vast number of languages. In this paper, Idiscuss three main aspects of parallelism: (i) whether it can beinterpreted within the functional theoretical framework; (ii) theexistence of underlying functional principles; and (iii) whether itcan be accounted for by a single principle. In my discussion, I willpresent results for three linguistic phenomena that are affected bylinguistic parallelism on the discourse, clausal, syntagmatic, andword levels in Brazilian Portuguese. I will then discuss a largebody of research in which this constraint has been analyzed. Iconclude that the study of linguistic parallelism shows that thestudy of language use and structure can be better accounted forthrough variationist theory, functionalism, and discourse analysisworking together.

This article focuses on the functional role of variation in the studyof the variable use of the preposition that introduces the dativecomplement of ditransitive verbs in Brazilian Portuguese. We showthat the occurrence of the three detected variants – , ,<0> – exhibit functional conditioning among mechanical effects.The process is constrained by the iconicity of the preposition,according to Haiman’s iconic motivation.
Variação e especificidades funcionais no domínio da causalidade
Authors: Paiva Maria da Conceição de
Published: May 2015

In this article, I discuss the semantic equivalences and the functionaldifferences of two forms of expressing causal relations in oralPortuguese: the complex clauses with the connector because(porque) and the prepositional phrases introduced by “por causade”. It is my intention to show that, even though these two formspossess a common nucleus of meaning, they perform differentcommunicative purposes. While the clause introduced by “porque”focuses on the action responsible for a fact, the prepositional phraseintroduced by “por causa de” performs a metaphorical causalrelation, concentrating on the result of an action.
Sobre a formação de diminutivo do português brasileiro
Authors: Lee Seung- Hwa
Published: May 2015

Diminutive formations are very productive in BrazilianPortuguese (BP). There are two ways to derive diminutive formsout of nominal words (i.e. nouns and adjectives/adverbs): -inho(a)suffixation e -zinho(a) suffixation. The latter is attached at thestem with the thematic vowel (-a, -o, -e, which represent themorphological class in nominal words, like gender and number)and the former is attached at the stem without the thematic vowel.There are many divergences in the literature to explain thediminutive formations which are treated: i) as derivational suffixes;ii) as phonological words; iii) -inho suffixation as derivation,-zinho suffixation as (phonological) compounding, etc.In this paper, I will argue that diminutive formation inBrazilian Portuguese (BP) is treated differently from the derivation/compound formation and the inflection in the process of wordformation – that is, diminutive formation has independent status.
O uso do onde no texto acadêmico
Authors: Marinho Janice Helena Chaves
Published: May 2015

This paper presents a partial analysis of the use of the item onde (where)in academic written texts produced by university students. These textstend to present several cohesive mechanisms which are responsiblefor their realability. In general, the author constructs a coherentand cohesive discourse in order to lead his/her reader to the desiredmeaning. Nevertheless, sometimes he/she fails in using cohesivemechanisms, and that leads to a local incoherence, according toCharolles (1988). One example is the use of onde in written texts.In these texts, several passages were found in which this word wasused without reference to places, i.e. not according to what isprescribed by traditional Portuguese grammar. It seems that thisuse of onde points to a different function, an enlargement of itsfield of action.
A teoria polifônica de Ducrot e a análise do discurso

This article compares the most significant advances made by FrenchDiscourse Analysis (DA), developed by a team of researchers underthe pioneering leadership of Michel Pêcheux, with the ‘polyphonictheory’ developed by Oswald Ducrot. While DA develops animportant framework for discourse analysis which firmly situatesdiscourse in a broader context of social relations, Ducrot’s approachis not interested in the concepts of ‘ideology’ and ‘power’. If thiscrucial difference is taken into consideration, Oswald Ducrot’spolyphonic theory may be used by discourse analysts as oneapproach among others for investigating the interplay between the‘voices’ of discourse.

The morphological phenomenon of nominalization is a lexicalstandard which consists of the fomation of abstract substantivesfrom verbs (consagrar/consagração, fingir/fingimento). Based onthe principles of Generative Morphology, this article aims to betterdefine the phenomenon, as well as to develop some aspects relatedto this linguistic mechanism, such as: the question of the derivationof the zero suffix (the problem of regressives), the study of whatmay be called the iterative -ção suffix and the relation betweennominalization and discourse type.
Escrita missionária e a questão da autonomia da escrita alfabética
Authors: Barros Maria Cândida Drumond Mendes
Published: May 2015

The aim of this paper is to juxtapose the theme of missionaryliteracy with a theoretical discussion of the attribute of autonomywith reference to literacy. By missionary literacy we mean thealphabetic typographic writing system created by missionaries aspart of the evangelical process of biblical translation. In particular,this study focuses on those cases of missionary literacy based onlinguistics, for which the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) is ofspecial significance.In so far as the debate on autonomy is concerned, we refer tothe controversy between the autonomy model of Goody, Ong andOlson and the ideological model of Street. The relevance of thequestion of autonomy in relation to the theme of missionary literacyhas its origins in the Protestant tradition, that the text is its owninterpreter (Olson 1991), an autonomous conception of the writtentext. This concept of literacy is a special expression of religiousliteral meaning, and therefore allows us to focus attention on theparticular feature of literacy in the missionary domain.

This text aims at dealing with the following questions: “Should weteach grammar?”; “If we should, how can instruction of aspects ofthe grammatical structure of the target language be of benefit tothe learner of L2?”. This kind of instruction had been considered‘out of fashion’ for some time; however, in the 80’s there was a‘rebirth’ of the interest in grammar instruction. We will focus onthe dichotomy product/process concerning language and grammar,with the intention of arguing in favor of Batstone’s pedagogicalcontinuum. Also, we will approach TBLT and C-R, which show apreference for the view of process without neglecting the necessityfor precise regulation of the linguistic production of the learner. CRalso considers the notion of the relationship among thegrammatical segments of syntax, semantics and discourse asfundamental .

Títulos e macroestruturas textuais
Authors: Corrêa Hércules Tolêdo
Published: May 2015

This study has the objective of verifying how university studentsunderstand the same newspaper text from the absence x presenceof different kinds of titles as well as questions previous to thereading. The starting point was the classification of the titles ascanonic and skewed: the first are those that carry the most importantinformation of the text, its main idea, working as a kind of summaryof the summary; the latter are those that promote information ofless importance to the category of the main idea of the text.A pre-experiment was carried out with the aim of verifying thehypothesis that a given title expressed the global macropropositionof a text, thus constituting a canonic title. After that an experimentwith seventy-five (75) students of the Language Course at a privatecollege in Belo Horizonte was undertaken with the objective ofverifying the extent of influence of the titles of different kinds andthe initial questions in the understanding, acting on the constructionof macropropositions and macrostructures.The results of the experiment showed that the titles and theinitial questions influence the construction of textual macrostructuresystematically, that leads to different interpretations of the same text.Canonic and skewed titles and the presence x absence of titles andinitial questions alter the interpretation of the same text in differentways.

The aim of this work was to investigate to what extent the canonicalcorrespondence (canonical linking) between the syntactic structureand thematic roles of the direct objects, subjects and prepositionalphrases affect the construction of meanings of the texts. In a secondlevel of analysis, the effects of canonical linking were investigated ininteraction with processing capacity and prior knowledge.Firstly, two preliminary tests were applied: a test of span reading toclassify the readers according to high, middle and low processing capacityand a test to measure the reader’s prior knowledge about the texts (thefunctioning of a washing machine and the functioning of a scanner).The results revealed that canonical linking, isolated or in interactionwith the other two factors, have a systematic effect; however, its effectsare diversified in the comprehension of the direct objects, subjectsand prepositional phrases.These results suggest, among other things, the existence ofsimilarities and differences in the processing of these sentenceconstituents. A major symmetry in the processing of the direct objectsand subjects in comparison with prepositioned phrases was observed.
A presença da paródia em títulos da imprensa francesa

Published: May 2015

Dans cet article nous proposons une approche discursive duphénomène parodique, à partir d’un corpus constitué par des petitesunités énonciatives, ou, en d’autres termes, par des titres de journauxet de périodiques français. En considérant que le titre, en général,est un énoncé qui pourrait entrer dans une zone propre à l’événement rapporté (Charaudeau, 1997), nous montrons que lemode de raisonnement de ces courts énoncés repose sur troispoints clés: la simplicité, la motivation et la dramatisation. Celanous permet d’approcher les procédés parodiques, en mettant enévidence des opérations qui visent le défigement d’ expressionsfigées (Fiala & Habert, 1989) et la “fabrication” de l’ironie. Finalement,nous examinons les effets recherchés par la parodisation de titresde presse, soit des effets comiques et des effets ludiques.

A study of the consonantal epenthesis in Portuguese, interpretedaccording to the Theory of Optimality framework, is presented inthis article. The featural nature of the epenthetic consonants isdefined, as well as the context of their occurrence. The implicationto the word derivational process is commented on. Consonantalepenthesis in Portuguese is in close relationship with sandhi andliaison processes.
Construindo o discurso escrito: histórias e cartas “entre a oralidade e a escrita”
Authors: Val Maria da Graça Costa , Guimarães Vanessa Cardoso
Published: May 2015

This article is a reworking of two moments of a research project entitled “Between orality and writing”, a study of the genesis of written discourse in children who are learning how to write: the firstmoment is concerned with narrative, the second with letter writing.In both these moments, language is seen as a system organized in and for social interaction, composed of the grammatical,semantic and discursive sub-systems, and human cognition is interpreted as a socially mediated process of subjective construction. We analyze the enunciative activity of children, obtaining evidence of their linguistic skill and their progress in the construction of the discursive styles being studied.
A propósito da metáfora
Authors: Marcuschi Luiz Antônio
Published: May 2015

This essay analyzes the metaphor as a specific way of knowing theworld and treats it as a chapter of epistemology rather than ofSemantics. It reviews concepts already developed by Aristotle andQuintiliano, among others, and refuses to accept metaphor as thetransposition of sense or the comparison of two referential domains.It suggests a new view based on the work of Max Black for whomlanguage is seen more as an interactive activity than a system ofsigns. In sum, from a genetic point of view, it defends the thesisthat the metaphor is an a priori synthesis: it is based on the intuitivecreative capacity and not on logical or analytic thought.
Semântica e pragmática: duas formas de descrever e explicar os fenômenos da significação
Authors: Ilari Rodolfo
Published: May 2015

The boundaries between Semantics and Pragmatics still deserve to beinvestigated, since they remain unclear for many linguists, and since theword “pragmatics” has quite often been used among Brazilian linguists inan unscientific, rhetorical way, to enhance the importance of some approachesto meaning and interpretation.This paper claims that a theoretically sound boundary can be drawnbetween semantical and pragmatical approaches if we look at the waythey deliver interpretations. Semantic interpretations are typically the resultof some kind of calculus, whereas pragmatic interpretations are typicallythe result of some working out where no calculus intervenes, rather ahighly specific solution is sought in order to integrate some unexpectedfact into a coherent story. Thus defined, Semantics and Pragmatics can bereferred to as deduction and abduction, respectively.In the light of the distinction just described, I revisit some of the phenomenathat were pointed out in the last decades as best examples of the pragmaticfunctioning of natural language. I argue that presupposition, deixis andspeech acts, highly predictable from lexicon and grammar, are semanticalin nature; on the contrary, implicature, since it depends on abductivethinking and it is not predictable from linguistic form, is described as apragmatic phenomenon par excellence.

A case study analysing the socialization of a student-teacher ofEnglish language is presented. Based on data stemming from aquestionnaire, an autobiographical report, a class obsetvation report,two tape-recorded supetvision sessions, and one semi-structuredintetview, the case shows the use of a social strategy by the studentteacheras a way to sutvive the practicum supetvision provided atthe university. By identifying the student-teacher's beliefs, we foundthat because biography is central to the socialization process, it isnecessary to reconsider other ways to achieve the goals of theestablished teacher education curriculum.

Consoantes palatais como geminadas fonológicas no Português Brasileiro
Authors: Wetzels Willem Leo
Published: May 2015

ln this paper we observe that 1ft! behaves in many respectsdifferently from Im,nI. Whereas Im,nl can be preceded by abranching rhyme, /fi/ cannot. When /fi/ occurs between the lasttwo vowels of a word that is at least trisyllabic, stress can never'skip' the prefinal syllable. On the other hand, when Im,nI occupythe onset of a word-final syllable, proparoxitonic stress does occur(ébano, ágamo). Also, lfi/ does not occur word-initially, in whichposition Im,nI are frequendy found. Furthermore, syllable structuretypically splits a Nli,ul/ sequence into two syllables before [,(] and[fi], but not before Im,nI. Finally, before the palatal nasal, allophonicnasalisation of a preceding unstressed vowel is obligatory, whereasallophonic nasal spreading does not affect unstressed vowels beforeIm,nI. We will show that all these facts are readily explained bythe hypothesis that the palatal sonorants of BP are gerninateconsonants at the lexical leveI.

This article anaIyses interviews invoIving Brazilian and Argentinianentrepreneurs working within the "MercosuI" economic community.The anaIyses aimed at identifying the means whereby these businesspartners construct their concepts of trust in relation to each other. Byobservingthe strategies used in their spoken discourse, specificallythose of parentheses and paraphrases, in addition to identifyingthe process of conflicting discourse organization, it was possibIe todetect various intepretations for the meaning of trust. ln tum,contradictions were reveaIed between discourse organization whichought not to have been present in situation of confrontation in thefirst pIace. The world of "MercosuI" business exchanges, specificallythose invoIving Brazilians and Argentinians, has thus emerged as atarget of attacks which, in tum, ought to be the focus of concern ofthose responsibIe for politicaI and economic decision-making.
The OCD Project: Educational or Sensational?
Authors: Miller Lindsay Mae , Deacon Brett J. , Valentiner David P.
Published: May 2015

Ninety-two young adults were randomly assigned to watch two episodes of The OCD Project, a reality television program depicting the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder using exposure therapy, or two episodes of another reality television program (Big Brother). Participants in The OCD Project condition (n = 35) endorsed significantly fewer negative beliefs about exposure therapy than participants in the Big Brother condition (n = 42). Participants’ obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms did not moderate the beneficial effects of watching The OCD Project. These results provide preliminary evidence that reality television programs can have a modest psychoeducational benefit and might be used to change attitudes about mental health problems and their treatment.
The Indirect Effect of Anxiety Sensitivity in the Relationship Between Panic Symptoms and Panic Severity
Authors: Talkovsky Alexander M. , Norton Peter J.
Published: May 2015

The cognitive model of panic (Clark, 1988) suggests that panic attacks result from the catastrophic misinterpretation of bodily sensations rather than the sensations themselves. Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is fear of anxious bodily sensations (Reiss, 1991) and has implications in panic development, maintenance, and severity. Although previous work has demonstrated that AS amplifies symptoms in response to provocations, few have analyzed the role of AS in the relationship between panic symptoms and panic disorder severity. The purpose of this investigation was to determine if AS, a cognitive risk for panic, has an indirect effect on the association between self-reported panic symptoms and panic severity, both self-reported and clinician-assessed, among 67 treatment-seeking individuals with a primary diagnosis of panic disorder with or without agoraphobia. Data were analyzed using the bootstrapped conditional process indirect effects model. Results indicated that the overall total mediational effect on Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS) was significant with evidence of partial mediation. The direct effect of Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) on PDSS remained significant although there was also a significant indirect effect of BAI via AS. Results showed a similar relationship when Clinician Severity Rating was the outcome. Moderation analyses were not significant. Therefore, AS was a significant partial mediator of the relationship between symptom intensity and panic severity, whether clinician-rated or self-reported. This investigation provides support for the importance of AS in panic, highlighting its importance but suggesting that it is not sufficient to explain panic disorder.
