Consonant Alliteration in Ovid’s "Metamorphoses", Books IX–XV
Authors: Śnieżewski Stanisław
Published: February 2019

In Book IX T, D alliteration amounts to 21,8%, M, N – 16,8%, in Book X the most frequent alliteration is T, D – 21,2%, then M, N – 12,9%. In Book XI the first place belongs to alliteration T, D – 14,08%, M, N – 13,7%. In Book XII it is M, N alliteration that prevails – 16,4%, next we have T, D – 12,7%. In Book XIII the first place goes back to T, D alliteration – 17,8%, then we have M, N – 14,8%. In Book XIV, the same as in Book XII, the predominant alliteration is M, N – 22,2%, followed by T, D – 19,5%. The same tendency is also apparent in Book XV, with the most numerous alliteration being M, N – 22,5%, followed by T, D – 22,4%. The most important alliterations play a variety of roles in Books IX–XV. They describe the metamorphoses, e. g. Iphis changing into a man, Hip­pomenes and Atalanta into a lion, Acmon into a bird etc. They express great pas­sions and the death of the protagonists. The alliteration clusters are found in the apotheosis of Romulus and Augustus, as well as the immortality of Heracles. Ovid uses them to describe the elements, such as the flood or sea storm, and powerful animals.
Consonant Alliteration in Lucan's "Pharsalia", Books I–V
Authors: Śnieżewski Stanisław
Published: February 2019

In book I M, N alliteration amounts to 24,8%; T, D – 16,5%; S – 10,5%, R – 6,7%. In book II the first place belongs to M, N alliteration – 22,8%; then: T, D – 16,1%; S – 11,8%; M, N, T, D – 5,9%. In book III the predominant allitera­tion is M, N – 19,8%; then: T, D – 15,09%; S – 12,5%; M, N, T, D (TH) – 5,6%. Book IV is atypical, as the number of M, N and T, D alliterations is identical, i. e. 19,1%. S constitutes 11,7%, while M, N, T, D – 6,9%. In Book V the most fre­quent alliteration is M, N – 20,0%, next we have T, D – 19,3%; S – 9,2%; M, N, T, D – 8,2%. Alliteration in books I–V of Lucan`s Pharsalia is mainly used to describe the character and actions of Julius Caesar. The narrator insists on his great energy, his ability to cope with critical situations, his extreme luck and Fortune’s favour during the struggle with the elements. Civil war brings about enormous chaos in the universe. The personified Roma is responsible herself for all the ca­lamities that befall her. Yet alliteration is also used to describe more placid scenes, for example the scenery, such as cities (Iolcos, Brundisium) and rivers (Euphra­tes, Tigris). Sometimes alliteration emphasises certain religious elements, e.g. the sacred grove near Massilia. Alliteration is sporadically used in the account of the exploits of Pompey, Cato and Crassus. It plays an important role in the frequent descriptions of the elements that bring disaster on the army, in particular floods and droughts.
Allegorical Interpretation and Place of Myth in Plato
Authors: Wdowiak Magdalena
Published: February 2019

The paper raises the issue of allegorical interpretation, and its role and place in Plato’s philosophy. The first part of the paper shows the theoretical findings and explains the use of terms aίnigma, sýmbolon, hypónoia in Plato’s philosophy. The next part explores Plato’s attitude toward allegorical interpretation and the function of myth (mūthos) in his philosophy. Two important points are presented here regarding Plato’s critique. They serve as the criterion for the validation of myth in the ideal state: the role of myth in paideia and its relation to philosophical discourse.
The Motif of the Lamp in Book V of the "Palatine Anthology"
Authors: Winiarska Rita

It turns out on numerous oc­casions the lamp is not merely an element of night scenery but it also performs functions typical of people or gods. An analysis of twelve epigrams from Book V shall demonstrate the variety of contexts in which the lamp appears and give a few remarks about the language used in the poems in which this motif occurs.
Przekład jako transfer międzykulturowy a role tłumacza
Authors: Kruk Agnieszka
Published: February 2019

Translation as an Intercultural Transfer – the Translator’s Roles In the process of translation, especially in intercultural translation, the translator exercises different functions. Some of them are permanent, while others change depending on the type of text, recipients’ expectations or predominant strategies. The purpose of this paper is to separate, divide and describe the roles played by the translator in the process of translating texts which contain elements of foreign cultures. The awareness of the complexity of the functions exercised by the translator and of the consequences of their decisions should help translators in choosing the most advantageous translation strategies which will allow them to show the readers all the cultural richness of the original.
Poeta przeklęty w dwóch wydaniach
Authors: Sztorc Weronika
Published: February 2019

Two Editions of a Poète Maudit: Translators’ Roles Realized in Two English Collections of Andrzej Bursa’s Poems The article aims at verifying how translators of Andrzej Bursa’s poems into English realize their tasks and their roles as stated (explicitly or implicitly) in their prefaces. Two editions of translations have been analyzed: Selected Poems. Utwory wybrane by American professors Kevin Christianson and Halina Abłamowicz (Kraków 2008) and Killing Auntie & Other Work by Wiesiek Powaga (London 2009). Alongside the declarations from the prefaces, translations of selected poems were taken into consideration – when possible, two versions were compared. In the context of the translator’s role an overview is offered of the vital differences between the two volumes, and conclusions are drawn concerning the justifiability of the chosen strategies in the context of efforts to arouse interest in Bursa’s work outside Poland.
Przepisywanie Beowulfa: J.R.R. Tolkiena meandry przekładu
Authors: Markiewka Tomasz
Published: February 2019

Rewriting Boewulf: J.R.R. Tolkien’s Meandering Translation J.R.R. Tolkien’s works related to translation include both translations and adaptations in the form of pastiche. All of them have been published as posthumous editions, equipped with detailed critical commentaries and edited by the writer’s son, Christopher Tolkien. Among recent publications in English and Polish, one that deserves particular attention is a 1926 prose translation of the Old English poem Beowulf (2014, Polish ed. 2015). This edition presents Tolkien performing a few roles, acting as a translator, translation critic, editor, commentator, literary scholar, linguist, and creative writer. In fact, “translation” becomes a textual hybrid in which one can observe the work of a translator from the initial phase of close reading of a source text through three variants of prose translation (two from 1926 and one from 1942); alternative fragmentar translations in alliterative verse; a detailed philological and cultural commentary composed of lecture notes; original literary works inspired by Beowulf, which include the short story Sellic Spell (in two English versions and as a back translation into Old English); and two versions of the original poem The Lay of Beowulf. As a result, the 2014 edition of Tolkien’s Beowulf realizes the ideal of a translation once described by Vladimir Nabokov: the text of translation emerges from multilayered commentary, which, in Tolkien’s work, crosses the boundaries of languages and genres.
Od przekładu do twórczości, czyli o quebeckich feministkach, anglokanadyjskich tłumaczkach i przekładowym continuum
Authors: Warmuzińska-Rogóż Joanna
Published: February 2019

From Translation to the Writing: On the Quebec Feminists, Anglo-Canadian Women Translators and the Translation ContinuumThe article presents the unique relationship between French- and English- -speaking translators in Canada, which has resulted in a great number of interesting translation phenomena. The author makes reference to the distinction between feminist translation and translation in the feminine, derived from literature in the feminine, both widely practiced in Quebec. One of the representatives of this trend was Suzanne de Lotbiniere-Harwood, mostly French-English translator, known for her translations of Nicole Brossard’s works. Her activity, as well as that of other translators, contributed to the spread of the idea of translation in the feminine among Canadian writers and theoreticians. What is more, their cooperation has resulted in the creation of the magazine Tessera and in the emergence of a range of phenomena on the borderline between translation and literature. This relationship is also a rare example of the impact of “minor literature”, which is the literature of Quebec, on the English-language Canadian literature.

Publishing Editor as Translator: On Translating the work of Cees Nooteboom in the Suhrkamp VerlagCees Nooteboom has been the face of Dutch literature in Germany. His photo, which features on the cover of Niederländische Literaturgeschichte [History of Dutch literature, 2006], a volume edited by Ralf Grüttemeier and Maria-Theresia Leuker, is a telling illustration of this. Usually, his successful market position is related to a eulogy to the book Die folgende Geschichte, delivered by the pope of German literary criticism, Marcel Reich-Ranicki in October 1991 in a TV programme „Das Literarische Quartett”. This paper tells the prehistory of Nooteboom’s success in Germany based on unpublished data drawn from the Siegfried Unseld Archive (Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach). The main focus of the discussion is placed on the cooperation between Nooteboom and the publishing editor, Elisabeth Borchers, who exerted a significant influence on the form of his initial publications by Suhrkamp Verlag.
O nietypowych rolach tłumacza nieformalnych spotkań biznesowych
Authors: Harmon Lucyna
Published: February 2019

On Untypical Roles of the Interpreter of Small Business Meetings This paper presents some untypical interpreters’ roles which emerge in the course of their work often enough to be considered as typical. The topic will be discussed from the viewpoint of a theorist with many years of practical experience, through the example of interpreting informal business meetings, which provide particularly rich empirical material. The interpreter is presented as an assistant, informant, adviser, situation manager, censor, conciliator, actor, therapist, but sometimes also whipping boy and petitioner. The reasons why the interpreter accepts these tasks are explained and some resulting dangers are pointed to.

Viewpoints on “the Other”
Authors: Głaz Adam , Trofymczuk Anastazja
Published: February 2019

Throughout his career of a reporter, writer, and “translator of cultures”, Ryszard Kapuściński was preoccupied with the notion of “the Other”. He synopsised his views in a collection of lectures published in 2006 as Ten Inny. It is instructive to look at how his portrayal of the Other (in Polish: Inny, but also Drugi/drugi or obcy) is rendered in Antonia Lloyd-Jones’ translation of the book into English (The Other, 2009), where the range of lexical choices includes Other, stranger, foreigner, and alien. Through lexical choices, both the author and the translator effect points of view in several senses of the term: (i) who is looking at whom, (ii) where (in the social sense) the observer and the observed are located, and (iii) how the other side is judged or evaluated. An additional level of complexity results from the system of articles in English (but not in Polish), which means that, e.g., the choice between the Other and an Other proves crucial for the construction of text-internal viewpoints. Thus, the author and the translator can not only actualise points of view, but are in fact coerced into semantic tensions that arise through sheer application of the lexico-grammatical inventories of the two languages.
Trans(a)l(e)atory Studies or the Translator as a Performer: "Finnegans Wake" by James Joyce in Polish Translation
Authors: Barciński Łukasz
Published: February 2019

Following the interdisciplinary approach, the article presents the translator’s role from the point of view musical terminology, which becomes appropriated for the sake of translation studies. As a result, the study applies the musical term aleatory music denoting an indeterminate type of musical notation which allows considerable freedom in the interpretation of a musical score. From this perspective, the translator, confronted with the inevitable interpretative gaps and indeterminacies in the source text, is compared to a musical performer who interprets the indeterminate aleatory notation. This approach is defined as trans(a)l(e)atory studies which consist in the analysis of multiple interpretative possibilities of target text versions based on one source text. The prominent example of the performative aspect of the translation process defined in this way is Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, the Polish translation of which (Finneganów Tren by rendered by Krzysztof Bartnicki) is analysed. The comparative study focuses on indeterminate aspects of language such as puns, neologisms (including portmanteau words), iconicity, blends and the superimposition of languages.
CAT Tools Usability Test with Eye-Tracking and Key-Logging: Where Translation Studies Meets Natural Language Processing
Authors: Witczak Olga , Jaworski Rafał
Published: February 2019

Computer assisted tools used to seem as though not made from the point of view of their targeted users [O’Brien, 2012:15]. However, their usability has been improving. In Translation Studies there exists a gap in research on process-oriented usability involving data triangulation. In our study based on the assumption that translation is a situated and complex activity [Risku, 2002, 2004], we aimed to address this gap with our experiment testing a new tool for translators, Concordia. This usability experiment with eye-tracking, keylogging, and screen recording directly involved translators (six translation trainees) in the development process through objectively collected data on effectiveness and efficiency of Concordia. Their satisfaction with Concordia was also a part of the usability test. We hypothesised that participants would be more efficient and effective when translating European Union texts with Concordia and that they will be satisfied with the tool. The results indicate that Concordia at its current state of development does not facilitate the process, but the participants were generally satisfied with the tool’s features.
Levelling the Playing Field with (In)accessible Technologies?
Authors: Figiel Wojciech
Published: February 2019

With the development of new technologies, the number of assistive devices/technologies at the disposal of persons with visual impairments has steadily grown. It would thus seem that translation professions have become more accessible. However, it seems that there is a growing gap between the competences indispensable for sighted and blind translators. The more technologically advanced the world of translators becomes, the more surplus technologies have to be mastered by the blind. And some of the digital tools which have become a blessing for sighted translators, such as CAT tools, are hardly accessible for the blind. Yet these challenges are not discussed outside the community of blind translators, except for only a handful of papers from a few translation scholars. So, is translation accessible for persons with visual impairments? This question is addressed on the basis of 15 in-depth interviews with blind and low sighted translators from Poland, analysed within the theoretical framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of capitals.
Old Habits Die Hard: Towards Understanding L2 Translation
Authors: Whyatt Bogusława
Published: February 2019

The prejudice against L2 translation has become an old habit and old habits die hard. In this article the axiom that translators should translate only into their native language, that is the language of their habitual use, is being challenged on the grounds that it is outdated, impossible to attain and most importantly lacking in empirical evidence. Since the processing demands of L1 and L2 translation have rarely been compared, the EDiT project has been designed to investigate how professional translators proceed when they translate into their L1 (Polish) and L2 (English). The article describes the research design and reports on a sample analysis of data collected by key-logging and eye-tracking which provide quantitative measures of cognitive effort when translating in both directions. The translated texts are then corrected by experienced proof-readers to show that both L1 and L2 translations are not flawless and need to be improved.
Teaching Note-Taking to Beginners Using a Digital Pen
Authors: Romano Eleonora
Published: February 2019

Teaching consecutive interpreting comprises the teaching of many different skills, inter alia note-taking.  Translation scholars such as Gile [1983], Matyssek [1989], Andres [2002] and Gillies [2005] have drafted a plethora of manuals, books and articles that suggest different rules, structures, detailed symbols and abbreviations for note-taking.Teachers of consecutive interpreting face the difficulty of analyzing the students’ notes, giving direct feedback  and personal advice at class, often with very limited time at their disposal. Orlando [2010; 2015] suggests using digital pen technology in note-taking training to concentrate on the process of note-taking itself in order to observe improvements and strategies needed to acquire this skill. Thanks to this technology, teachers and students can reflect upon the reasons why students noted in a certain way and used a particular structure.This article sets out to describe how this approach has been tested at note-taking classes at Innsbruck University, with particular attention given to the analysis of different aspects of the process. The aim of the article is to demonstrate if a digital pen can be useful in training, what are the main advantages in terms of efficacy of teaching and time efficiency inter alia and if it can be used at the beginning of a note-taking course.
Searching for Evidence of Gile’s Effort Models in Retrospective Protocols of Trainee Simultaneous Interpreters
Authors: Gumul Ewa
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study is to find empirical evidence for Gile’s Effort Models through retrospection. The main objective is to investigate simultaneous interpreting trainees’ perception of the cognitive processes underlying the SI task, their decision-making process when faced with increased cognitive load and processing capacity saturation, as well as their coping mechanisms under the constraints of constant requirement of attentional resources allocation. The study triangulates process analysis (retrospective protocols) with product analysis (manual comparison of source and target texts). The corpus of the study consists of about 75 hours of recordings of 240 interpreting outputs in both directions of interpreting (Polish-English and English-Polish) and the recordings of retrospective protocols (5,005 remarks). The analysed retrospective comments provide evidence of the conflicting efforts and problems with processing capacity management described by Gile. The total of 531 verbalisations refer to the aspects related to Gile’s Effort Models and 108 out of 120 interpreters participating in this experiment made at least one remark reporting them, which clearly confirms Gile’s observations about the nature of the simultaneous interpreting process.
How Successful Are Undergraduate Students in Revising and Justifying Different Types of Translation Decisions in Response to Instructor Feedback?
Authors: Chodkiewicz Marta
Published: February 2019

This article discusses a study which investigated undergraduate students’ skills in revising and justifying different types of translation decisions. Thirty-six students translated a text into the L1 or L2 using all available resources. The translations were assessed based on their functionality and other criteria related to preserving source text content and assuring target text adequacy; controversial translation decisions were marked with symbols denoting particular criteria. The students then revised or justified their translation decisions. The revisions, justifications, as well as instances where no action was taken were analysed in order to establish what actions the students performed regarding particular types of the instructor’s markings and how effective these actions were, both irrespective of and depending on directionality.
Challenges in Teaching Literary Translation to Undergraduate Students
Authors: Kodura Małgorzata
Published: February 2019

This paper analyses how to approach literary translation as a university course and how to design the curriculum to overcome the difficulties emerging in practice for the benefit of both sides of the translation competence acquisition process, i.e. the trainer and the trainees. The analysis presented in the paper is based on the observations conducted during a one-semester course of literary translation taught at the Pedagogical University of Cracow to undergraduate students of English Philology. The author suggests designing the translation training course using action research methodology, in a continuous cycle of practice, reflection and improvement.
Signed: Gombrowicz: “Pupa,” the Western Canon, and the English Translation of "Ferdydurke"
Authors: Kołtun Monika
Published: February 2019

The present paper aims at demonstrating how the initial norms adopted by translators, affecting their operational norms, impact the hermeneutic potential and process of canonization of the target text—or, in other words, how the consistency of Gombrowicz’s philosophy as it is expressed in his works in the Polish language transforms when translated into English. Opening with an overview of the canonization of translated literature and canonical authors’ “signature words,” the paper concentrates on one of landmark Gombrowicz’s terms, the word pupa, and its function in the immanent poetics of the philosopher’s work and in his global vision of the human condition. Against such a backdrop, an analysis of the consequences of the English translator’s choice concerning this term is provided, simultaneously revealing the importance of “signature words” in the process of canonization of a translated text.

The Problem of Strangeness in Political Ideology and Rhetoric of Alternative for Germany and German Identitarian Movement
Authors: Kałabunowska Agata
Published: February 2019

This article aims at analysing the problem of strangeness, fear of and hostility towards representatives of out-groups (namely: foreigners) observed within the extreme right. In the first part it summons up the current state of research on this topic. Then the article presents the political and social context of today’s Germany, in light of the so called migration crisis, considering whether the “foreigners’ issue” is supported by the actual numbers. Last but not least, it analyses actual political demands of two far right groupings: a political party Alternative for Germany and the Identitarian Movement. Placing them in the wider global trend, it suggests that the issue of strangeness might have become the most important characteristics of the extreme right.

Motivations and barriers to the prolonged use of clothing
Authors: Whitson-Smith Jade
Published: February 2019

With increased awareness of environmental issues, and of ethical consumption, the fashion industry has been trying to address ethical issues in its supply chain, and on consumer behaviour. One approach to reducing the environmental impact of garment consumption is to change the way consumers behave. The prevailing strategies for behaviour change utilized within sustainable fashion have fallen into two categories: the provision of information, such as social media campaigns, and the creation of new garments using design strategies such as ‘design for durability’. However, these strategies are based on assumptions, rather than empirical understanding of what motivates consumer garment use, or the mechanics of behaviour change. This article focuses on one particular environmentally desirable behaviour: wearing garments for longer, and the factors influencing this behaviour. The findings provide insights into where improvements could be made.

A quantitative wardrobe study was undertaken with female consumers in the United Kingdom. The purpose of the study was to explore the motivations and barriers to a selection of environmentally desirable garment-use behaviours, including wearing garments for longer. From this study, behavioural motivations were compiled. The predominant factors motivating prolonged wear were comfort and good fit of garments. The predominant factor acting as a barrier was change in circumstances, which changed consumers’ perceptions of how appropriate garments were for their perceived identity.

The implications of these results are twofold. Changes in personal circumstances are inevitable for all consumers, and something that designers cannot influence. This suggests that alongside promoting prolonged wear, it is critical to guide consumers towards shifting ownership of unworn garments to new users. There is also an opportunity for designers and researchers to further explore comfort and fit of garments, but these factors are highly individualistic, which suggests that mass production may be detrimental to promoting prolonged wear.

Public relations, post-truth society and Trump’s alarming political triumph
Authors: Verbeek Nicolaas
Published: February 2019

In November of 2016, the US elected its first post-truth candidate. In the wake of the turbulent election and media cycle, it is crucial to take stock of the political, cultural and technological developments that brought us to this point. I argue that the rise and success of a candidate such as Donald Trump is an inevitable upshot of a PR-steeped media environment. This article examines recent trends in PR and digital media that have contributed towards a post-truth social and political paradigm in the United States. I identify candidate Trump as the quintessential post-truth candidate, highlight the deleterious effects of exposure to PR-speak on the electorate’s media literacy and discuss the various PR tactics that Trump used to exploit the schismatic fertile ground laid by decades of corporate PR strategy. I consider the dangers of a public inexperienced in critical media evaluation and further fragmented by social media bubbles that promote groupthink and make citizens more susceptible to falsehoods. Further, I address Russia’s recent disinformation campaign that worked to help elect Trump and illustrate how PR strategies originating in advertising are being used not only by political candidates but also by foreign powers seeking to influence US elections. All of these developments related to PR and media technology have corroded national political discourse and culminated in an attack on US democracy in the twenty-first century.
The relationship between knowledge management practices and innovativeness: Insights from petroleum firms in Nigeria
Authors: Bubou Gordon M. , Amadi-Echendu Joe E.
Published: February 2019

Determinants of firm innovativeness are said to be relatively understudied and little is written about firms from the oil industry within the context of African economies. This article attempts to fill that gap by investigating the impact of endogenous factors, particularly the impact of knowledge management practices (KMP) on the technological innovativeness of petroleum firms in Nigeria. Survey data collected from petroleum firms in Nigeria were used to examine the relationship between their technological innovativeness and the KMP engaged by the firms. Our analyses show that in the context of the study, KMP significantly impact the technological innovativeness of firms. The results were largely consistent with extant research on the role of knowledge management on the innovativeness of firms. Our findings provide valuable insights about knowledge as a strategic resource of the firm. Thus, undertaking the relevant KMP will enhance the technological innovativeness of petroleum firms operating in Nigeria.
Sujeito pronominal expresso e nulo no começo do séc. XXI (e sua relação com o objeto nulo em PB)
Authors: Othero Gabriel de Avila , Spinelli Ana Carolina
Published: February 2019

Neste artigo, investigamos a ocorrência de sujeitos nulos e pronominais expressos em duas peças teatrais recentes, tendo dois objetivos em mente: (i) dar continuidade, de certa maneira, ao trabalho pioneiro de Duarte (1993, 1995) sobre o preenchimento de sujeitos pronominais em PB; e (ii) aplicar a hipótese do gênero semântico (de Creus & Menuzzi, 2004) à  análise, justamente, dos sujeitos pronominais nessas peças. Confirmamos a hipótese antecipada em Duarte (1993, 1995) de que o PB estaria favorecendo o preenchimento de sujeitos pronominais (aproximando-se, portanto, de uma língua -pro-drop). E apontamos para uma direção ainda não investigada na literatura sobre o assunto: os sujeitos pronominais preenchidos preferencialmente retomam (ou se referem a) referentes com gênero semântico expresso, o que sugere que o gênero semântico pode ser, de fato, um traço relevante para o favorecimento do pronome em PB, tanto para o objeto direto anafórico (como mostram alguns trabalhos recentes na literatura), como para o sujeito pronominal (como esboçamos aqui).
Processos fonológicos e escrita ortográfica em produções textuais do ensino fundamental
Authors: Ferreira Adriana Alexandra
Published: February 2019

Apresentamos neste artigo os resultados preliminares da pesquisa sobre o estudo de processos fonológicos e a escrita ortográfica em produções textuais do Ensino Fundamental. O corpus da pesquisa foi composto por textos de alunos do 6º ano, de uma instituição da rede pública de ensino, participante do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à  Docência - PIBID/CAPES, da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - Campus Cascavel. As grafias não convencionais ou "erros" como nomeia a perspectiva tradicional, para o ensino de língua portuguesa, sempre foram motivo de preocupação para os professores que atuam nessa disciplina. Pesquisas que investigam a natureza dos erros de ortografia têm mostrado que alunos, ingressantes do Ensino Fundamental II e até mesmo em séries finais do Ensino Médio, apresentam dúvidas de escrita, que revelam um desconhecimento ou conhecimento parcial das relações existentes entre o sistema fonológico e ortográfico da língua, e suas representações. Por essa, dentre outras razões, buscamos nessa pesquisa analisar as motivações acerca dos processos fonológicos mais recorrentes identificados nas produções escritas, do gênero autobiografia, produzidas no ano letivo de 2017, a fim de contribuir para com o conhecimento de profissionais que já atuam na área, aqueles em processo de formação, e demais pesquisadores.
Olhares e dizeres sobre os afetos no processo de ensino/aprendizagem de inglês
Authors: Abreu Diego Candido
Published: February 2019

O objetivo deste trabalho é gerar inteligibilidade acerca de como um conjunto de repertórios interpretativos assentados na filosofia platônica esquematiza discursivamente a reflexão de professores(as) de inglês sobre a influência dos afetos no processo de ensino/aprendizagem dessa língua. Com tal objetivo em vista e amparado teoricamente pelos preceitos da Psicologia Discursiva Crítica, me inclino sobre as construções discursivas de três docentes de inglês que alicerçaram seus posicionamentos acerca dos afetos no modelo teórico platonista. Por fim, discuto criticamente em que medida esse sistema filosófico está em (dis-/cons-) sonância com o entendimento contemporaneamente hegemônico acerca dos afetos, apontando os desdobramentos de tal (dis-)alinhamento.
Por uma abordagem sócio-histórica no ensino de língua portuguesa
Authors: Alves Diogo de Campos , Xavier Vanessa Regina Duarte
Published: February 2019

Trabalhar com o ensino de Língua Portuguesa (LP) significa pensar na formação integral do ser humano, uma vez que este está relacionado a aspectos históricos, sociais etc. Por conseguinte, é imprescindível a abordagem dos aspectos extralinguísticos da língua tanto no ensino básico quanto na formação do docente de LP. Em vista disso, esse trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da língua através das contribuições dos estudos da Linguística Histórica e da Sociolinguística, os quais preconizam a língua como objeto dinâmico, variável e heterogêneo, pois consideramos que a ausência dos conteúdos sócio-históricos da língua ocasiona a perpetuação da discriminação linguística no ambiente escolar, assim como na sociedade de modo geral. Para tanto, nosso corpus se constituiu de um livro didático destinado ao oitavo ano do Ensino Fundamental II, bem como dos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPCs) de Letras Português e Letras Português e Inglês da UFG-RC, com o intuito de observar como neles está sendo proposto o ensino de língua(gem). Com vistas a atingir o nosso objetivo, baseamo-nos em Ilari e Basso (2014) e Silva (2008) para abordar brevemente a história da língua portuguesa e, a respeito da teoria da mudança e da variação linguística, usamos, respectivamente, Faraco (2005) e Bagno (2007). Para a análise do livro didático, nos baseamos no PNLD (Brasil, 2017), em Dionisio (2005), Salzano (2004) e Silveira et al (2016). Além disso, fizemos uma reflexão breve acerca dos PPCs, à luz de Barros (1997), Coelho (2005), Monteiro (2012) e Mattos e Silva (2008).
Planificação e manutenção linguística
Authors: Costa Lucivaldo Silva da , Barboza Tereza Maracaipe , Tavares Quelvia Souza
Published: February 2019

Neste estudo, descrevemos os processos mobilizados na confecção do sistema de escrita da língua Xikrín do Cateté e de um livro para auxiliar no processo de alfabetização e letramento dos falantes que estudam nas escolas das aldeias. Estas ações de planificação linguística objetivam a manutenção da língua e da cultura Xikrín do Cateté. Este povo fala uma variedade da língua Kayapó, pertencente à família Jê, Tronco Macro-Jê (Rodrigues 1986, 1999). Atualmente, vive em três aldeias, Cateté, maior e mais antiga, com aproximadamente 900 habitantes, Djudjêkô, com aproximadamente 500 habitantes, fica a 18 km da aldeia Cateté e Ô'odjãm, a mais recente e menor, com população estimada em 150 pessoas, está localizada à  margem esquerda do rio Cateté. A escassez de material didático na língua indígena está, em certa medida, condicionada a não existência de um sistema de escrita para a língua Xikrín. A construção de tal sistema pode possibilitar a criação de literatura em língua indígena para garantir um ensino bilíngue, diferenciado e específico, que fortaleça sua língua e sua cultura milenar. É válido ressaltar, ainda, que o sistema de escrita aqui proposto está ancorado em critérios fonológicos sem, no entanto, desconsiderar critérios políticos que respeitem a autonomia dos Xikrín na escolha dos símbolos representativos dos fonemas existentes em sua língua.
O verbo ficar no português do Brasil
Authors: Constancio Felipe de Andrade
Published: February 2019

Se o ensino do léxico tem se mostrado desafiador nas aulas de língua materna, talvez sua abordagem também seja um desafio nas aulas de Português Língua Não Materna. Esse entrave talvez seja mais significativo quando se considera o fato de que existem aprendizes que vêm ao Brasil em busca do português falado/escrito aqui. Este trabalho problematiza uma questão em voga nas pesquisas linguísticas recentes - quais as particularidades do português brasileiro -, para chegar a uma discussão oportuna no ensino de PLNM, a saber: como abordar a produtividade lexical em aulas de português para estrangeiros. Para chegar a um consenso acerca dessa produtividade, recorre-se neste trabalho às conceituações de lexicultura e suas implicações no âmbito do que se tem denominado português do Brasil.
Poder e saber nos documentos de estágio
Authors: Garcia Rosana Aparecida de Mello
Published: February 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar as concepções de estágio nos documentos de estágio do IFSC e a sua articulação com as normas sobre o estágio e a educação profissional como táticas de governamentalidade, desde o surgimento até a atual configuração dos estágios nessa instituição de ensino. O estudo tem por base os princípios de Michel Foucault sobre discurso, documento, monumento, poder/saber e governamentalidade. Foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais e as reflexões decorrentes sugerem que o discurso sobre estágio foi construído a partir de articulações entre poder/saber nos campos do trabalho, da economia, da política e da educação como táticas de governamentalidade.

Análise do discurso politicamente incorreto na atual mídia humorística televisiva brasileira
Authors: Santana Gabriel , Leal Maria Virgínia
Published: February 2019

Com base na Análise do Discurso, especialmente na corrente francesa (AD), este trabalho tem como objetivo uma breve compreensão da problemática envolvendo questões de Direitos Humanos e o humor politicamente incorreto na mídia televisiva. Mediante um corpus composto por discursos preconceituosos e, principalmente, de repúdio aos Direitos Humanos e ao politicamente correto em programas do humorista Danilo Gentili, buscaremos mostrar os sinais da naturalização dos discursos de enaltecimento do politicamente incorreto acrítico dentro do espaço televisivo brasileiro.
Result linking adverbials in learner corpora
Authors: Dutra Deise Prina , Orfanó Bárbara Malveira , Almeida Valdenia Carvalho
Published: February 2019

This article aims to present an investigation of the use of the following linking adverbials: so, therefore, and thus in essay writing of Brazilian university students.  Few corpora-based studies have been carried out on the use of cohesive devices in the written production of Brazilian university students in comparison to the writing of American and British university students. It is worth mentioning Matte and Sarmento (2018) and Dutra et al. (2017) who identified differences among the groups concerning the use of additive linking adverbials. The present study compares the occurrences of result linking adverbials in the Corpus of English for Academic Purposes (CorIFA), in the Corpus of English Without Borders (CorIsF), and in the Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays (LOCNESS). The linking adverbials were identified by using AntConc 3.4.4 (ANTHONY, 2016). The concordance lines generated by the program were analyzed, and the linking adverbials were classified according to their meaning and syntactic position. Then, the data were submitted to the statistical log-likelihood test and the overuse, and underuse of items were studied across the dataset.  The results indicate differences mainly concerning syntactic position and meaning of the linking adverbials. Analyzing these differences is instrumental as it may contribute to a better understanding of Brazilian learners’ written academic discourse and, in turn, it can assist language educators and material designers who work with to the teaching of English for Academic Purposes.

Uma análise multivariada da expressão do antepresente ampliado em variedades argentinas
Authors: Araujo Leandro Silveira de
Published: February 2019

Neste trabalho, descrevemos o comportamento das formas do pretérito perfecto na expressão do antepresente ampliado no espanhol falado em Buenos Aires e San Miguel de Tucumán. Para tanto, compilamos um corpus de entrevistas radiofônicas de ambas as variedades. Por meio do Goldvarb, procedemos a uma análise multivariada que permitiu identificar e descrever um uso intenso da do perfecto simple em Buenos Aires e um uso mais significativo do perfecto compuesto, em San Miguel de Tucumán. Esta análise também nos permitiu identificar fatores extralinguísticos operando por detrás do cenário descrito.
Devious Maids
Authors: Cavalcanti Larissa de Pinho
Published: February 2019

Nosso trabalho investiga a natureza das representações sociais sobre mulheres latinas na série Devious Maids, para verificar se há ruptura com a história de papéis estereotipados e marcados por inferioridade social e cultural. De uma perspectiva multimodal, a análise dos processos contextuais e simbólicos foi centrada nos macro e microtemas que compunham as representações sociais emergentes nas biografias das protagonistas e na narrativa da série. Limitados aqui à  análise simbólica para investigação ideológica das representações sociais, consideramos o modo orquestrador de filmagem e os modos contribuintes de som, de ação dramática, fala e imagem como vetores. O estudo verificou que as representações são fruto de posicionamentos ideológicos muitas vezes contraditórios e sempre implícitos, orientados para empoderar ou subjugar grupos sociais e seus membros - o que torna urgente seu estudo em produtos midiáticos, cujo público consumidor se torna cada vez mais intangível no mundo globalizado.
Retórica e Argumentação no Discurso Jurídico
Authors: De Oliveira Margibel Adriana
Published: February 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar reflexões a respeito da origem da Retórica e sua interligação com a Argumentação, para demonstrar o vínculo dessas áreas com o Discurso Jurídico. Nesse sentido, serão tomados por referência alguns teóricos, como: Aristóteles (1998 [s.d.]), Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005 [1958]), Barilli (1985), Mosca (2005; 2004 [1997]), Reboul (2004 [1998]), Petri (2005 [2000]), Meyer (2007) e Plantin (2008). Desse modo, a fundamentação teórica irá tratar dos seguintes tópicos: a) Primórdios da Retórica; b) Fundamentos: os gêneros, as partes e as provas retóricas; c) Nova Retórica: Teorias da Argumentação - Oradores e Auditórios. Assim, estima-se que este estudo possa contribuir para fomentar e desenvolver a discussão entre os profissionais da área jurídica, com vistas a circunscrever e dimensionar esses termos, como possíveis maneiras conceituar Retórica, Argumentação e Discurso Jurídico.
