title: Effects of semantic compositionally in the interpretation of phraseological units in a second language

description: ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a study on the influence of semantic compositionality on the interpretation of phraseological units (PU) in undergraduate students of Italian as a foreign language, and its similarity to the processes of interpretation in their native language. The data obtained indicate that semantic compositionality is a factor that favours the interpretation of PU in the foreign language. However, the data also show that students tend to prefer the intercultural strategy for the interpretation of transparent PU, which leads to a high rate of interpretation errors.

title: The Corpus of Portuguese from Academic Journals

description: ABSTRACT The present study aims to describe the challenges faced and solutions found in the compilation of the Corpus de Português Escrito em Periódicos - CoPEP, which contains approximately 40 million words, is balanced between the Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese varieties in number of words and covers six large areas of knowledge. Firstly, we will present the context of the creation of CoPEP, namely, the make of an on-line dictionary of Portuguese for university students, to which CoPEP served as the primary source for linguistic evidence extraction. Thus, it was the characteristics of this lexicographic project that informed the design criteria for CoPEP and the consequent decision-making process. Next, we will describe the methodology of data acquisition, with a special focus on the challenges that were faced, and the solutions found. We will conclude with the description of the final compilation phase, which involved procedures for obtaining balance.

title: A phonetic study of Zootopia characters’ voices in Brazilian Portuguese dubbing: the role of stereotypes

description: ABSTRACT This work comprises an experimental investigation approach of expressive speech that integrates methodological procedures of perceptual and acoustic analyses. As the object of this work, we have focused on voice quality and vocal dynamics. Speech samples from the four main personality-distinct characters in the animated feature film “Zootopia” dubbed by Brazilian voice actors have been analysed. Due to the expressive function of voice quality, we have posed the following question: what types of voice quality and vocal dynamics settings were used by the voice actors in the Brazilian dubbing of “Zootopia” to compose the vocal profiles of the characters? Perceptual evaluation of the 54 speech stimuli was performed using the Vocal Profile Analysis protocol (Laver & Mackenzie Beck, 2007). Acoustic measures were automatically extracted using the ExpressionEvaluator script (Barbosa, 2008) for PRAAT. The profiles for each of the four characters were composed based on the psychological traits described in the film script. The results of the acoustic analysis, the perceptual analysis of voice quality and vocal dynamics settings were correlated using the MFA (Multiple Factor Analysis) method in the R environment based on 40 variables (quantitative and qualitative) and it turned out that the speech stimuli were distributed in 6 clusters according to the variables analysed. The quantitative variables that presented the highest correlation percentage were: Standard Deviation of f0 Derivative, Standard Deviation of Spectral Tilt, f0 Median. The qualitative variables that presented the highest correlation percentage were: Lowered Larynx, Lip Rounding, Breathy Voice and Minimised Pitch Range. The research has presented evidence in favor of the symbolic use of phonic matter and contributions to the understanding of how vocal stereotypes are established.

title: INTEGRATING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN BRAZILIAN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER EDUCATION THROUGH BLENDED LEARNING

description: ABSTRACT: This paper aims at reflecting upon the integration of digital technologies in the form of blended learning (BL) approaches in Pre-service English Language Teaching (ELT) Education. With that aim, a BL approach was designed and implemented in a pedagogical intervention carried out in the form of an action research in a pre-service ELT practicum course in a federal university in Brazil. Data includes questionnaires and interviews administered to the pre-service English teachers and observations carried out in the practicum course. The analysis of data suggests that despite little involvement in the online environment, the BL approach was able to promote critical reflection on the integration of digital technologies in ELT. Moreover, it showed that pre-service teachers’ views of the educational value attributed to the online environment and professors’ readiness to offer varied and innovating learning options may determine the success of the integration of digital technologies in BL outcomes. The study concludes that the implementation of BL approaches in pre-service ELT education provides a space for reflection on action fostering informed pedagogical decisions regarding the integration of digital technologies in ELT.

title: Translanguaging as a Tool for Decolonizing Interactions in a Space for Confronting Inequalities

description: ABSTRACT Taking into account the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, from the UN, this article addresses the construction of artistic contexts where students, teachers, principals, coordinators, sign language interpreters, artists, and researchers work together with the Sustainable Development Goal 10 - Reduce inequality within and among countries, in a Project entitled Digitmed Program. This project gathers deaf and hearing, migrants and Brazilian participants from very poor and wealthy communities in discussions about the development of interdisciplinary curriculums, which aim at de-encapsulation of ideas, contents, roles, perspectives, grades, languages spoken, economic background, among others. In this article, the involvement of deaf and hearing participants in the interdisciplinary work with poems as a form of art for resistance will be described. The potential of translanguaging is analysed as a revolutionary possibility for tackling inequality and marginalisation.

title: Uptake and the Emergence of Academic Genres: the PROFLETRAS’ master thesis

description: ABSTRACT The relationship between genres within activity systems is a premise of rhetorical and sociological-based genre theory. In this paper, under the Rhetorical Genre Studies guidelines, we draw on the concept of uptake to investigate the PROFLETRAS’s Master Thesis in its relationship with antecedent genres. With the aim of exploring the process of uptake involved in the writing of the TCF, the study examines both the structural organization of the first TCF produced in the Program, in the light of antecedent genres such as the academic master’s thesis and institutional guidelines that framed their production, and the students’ perception of the challenge of writing in the genre. The results suggest the emergence of a new academic genre associated with, but not identical to, the traditional master’s thesis.

title: AN EXAMINATION OF THE STATE OF ART IN ACADEMIC PUBLICATIONS ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN BRAZIL (2012-2017)

description: ABSTRACT: In the area of the History of Education, the theme of Religious Education moves heated debates. This article takes as a matter of study how the productions in academic journals focused on the discussion of religious education in Brazil have been delineated from their specific legislations. To this end, a survey was conducted in the database of the portal of journals of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel and from the articles published in the five years 2012 to 2017 made the effort to achieve a state of the art on the subject. The conclusion is that the selected articles unveil the limits and challenges to secularism by making the regulation of religious teaching and its implementation a mechanism for the regulation of religion in the public educational sphere. However, it is highlighted in the result of our analysis that the process of schooling of religious education goes through a unique moment in the search for curricular affirmation and epistemological reconstruction motivated by legal positivation, which prohibits proselytism, and gives support to the discussion of themes and phenomena that they incur the concrete reality in which the school culture moves.

title: Ideational semiosis: a tri-stratal perspective on grammatical metaphor

description: ABSTRACT This paper addresses the challenge of analysing texts for ideational grammatical metaphor. It undertakes this task from the perspective of recent work on field (Doran & Martin in press) and discourse semantics (Hao 2020a). In doing so it highlights the benefits of adopting a tri-stratal perspective on experiential and logical grammatical metaphor (Hao 2020b) - bringing all three of the most relevant strata (i.e. field, discourse semantics and lexicogrammar) into the picture.

title: THE WEB IN SOLVING PROGRAMMING CHALLENGES: WHAT COLLEGE STUDENTS SAY ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE

description: ABSTRACT: This research in the field of education and new technologies unfolds into two investigative ways: student action and online environment working processes. Based on the experience revealed in the programming scenario of the Web-supported Data Structure discipline, the discussion of copy emerges as we consider that the Web presents programming solutions in a compelling and easy-to-reach environment. This paper presents works which discuss the code plagiarism and the uneven knowledge constructed by accessing the Web. It also debates about the meaning and process of the experience based on authors like Dewey (1976, 1978, 1980); Larrosa (2002, 2018); Cupani (2013) and McLuhan (1964). Data analysis was performed based on a questionnaire applied to college students (n=149 answers) and it evidences the Web experience in solving programming problems. As a result, students state the importance, satisfaction, and relevance of the Web for their study.

title: LEARNING TO BE CHIC: SKATING IN CURITIBA (1879-1916) - A MODERN EXPERIENCE

description: ABSTRACT: This study aims to discuss skating experiences promoted in Curitiba between 1879 (announcement of the first initiative) and 1916 (when seven skating places worked simultaneously). The objective was to investigate its social dynamics, as well as the discourses of adherence to ideas of civilization and progress forged around it, positions that presented indications of adequate uses of the body and the adoption of good public behaviors. Our main questions are: a) how was the practice structured (offering strategies, organizers, locals, frequenters)? b) what representations were conveyed about it? The research sources were newspapers and magazines published in the city during that period. We conclude that skating was seen as a possibility of educating the public regarding the acquisition of chic postures, a notion linked to concepts of modernity that circulated with more intensely in the capital of Paraná at the time.

title: Proposal for a taxonomy of centers of interest in lexical availability studies

description: ABSTRACT Lexical availability studies collect, for teaching purposes, lexical units in centers of interest. The different behavior of centers of interest has been highlighted based on the number of units. In addition, classifications have been provided according to other parameters related to the internal structure. However, there is no classification applied to more than one language. We intend to propose a taxonomy based on the creation of a structural index of centers of interest. To do this, we will demonstrate the different behavior of the centers of interest both in the mother tongue (Spanish) and in the foreign language (English and French) and we will establish an assessment measure of their characteristics.

title: Approaching ‘academic essay’ as an ‘apprenticeship’ genre in Social Sciences: the case of Sociology

description: ABSTRACT Academic essay is a key genre that students in the Social Sciences and Humanities are required to write in tertiary education. Research on this object in Spanish has been scarce, focusing generally on the rhetorical structure of this genre, without considering possible disciplinary variation in the way essays are written. This paper explores the academic essay genre within Social Sciences, through the analysis of texts written by Sociology tertiary students. The typological description is founded on Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and its genre analysis (Martin & Rose 2008; Hood 2010).
