title: Perception of students with disabilities who had different levels of stress

description: Abstract The article aimed to describe the perception of students with disabilities at the Federal University of Pará who presented different levels of stress. Eleven of the 29 students with stress and 8 of the 21 without stress participated in the study. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale and the interview script were applied to identify what causes stress in the academic context. Students with high levels of stress were less positive than the ones with low levels of stress. It was concluded that both students with high levels of stress and with low levels of stress have emotional and physical problems when the university context does not provide adequate accessibility to their special educational needs.

title: Functional Theory of Values: Testing hypothesis of content and structure in a Brazilian State

description: Abstract The Functional Theory of Values (TFVH) understands values as general guiding principles, transcending specific objects or situations. The objective was to test the hypothesis of the content and structure of TFVH. There were 634 university students (Mage=22.6), the majority female (51.3%). The hypothesis was tested with confirmatory factor analysis (e.g., IFC=0.97, TLI=0.96, and RMSEA=0.04). The hypothesis of the structure was also tested with confirmatory multidimensional scaling (Proxscal), indicating that values can be represented in a 3 X 2 space where the 3 refers to the type of orientation - personal, central and social - and the 2, the type of motivator - materialistic and idealistic. We concluded that the TFVH gathered evidence of its suitability in the studied scope and can be used to understand human values and their correlates.

title: Pathological traits and adaptability as predictors of engagement, job satisfaction, burnout and workaholism

description: Abstract This study aimed to test the predictive capacity of pathological traits of personality and career adaptability on four constructs that compose the well-being at work: work engagement, job satisfaction, burnout, and workaholism. A total of 204 Brazilian working adults (M age = 34.02, SD = 10.39) participated in the study, which responded to scales measuring pathological traits, career adaptability resources, and well-being components at work. Our findings indicate that pathological traits are, in general, negatively related to job satisfaction and work engagement and positively associated with burnout and workaholism. After the insertion of career adaptability, there was an increase in most of the models' explanation. The contribution of adaptability was significant only for job satisfaction prediction.

title: Jornada Basin LTER Cross-scale Interactions Study (CSIS) Block 6 meteorological station: Daily summary data: 2013 - ongoing

description: This data package contains hourly air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation summary data from Jornada Basin LTER Cross Scale Interactions Study (CSIS) Block-6 met station. Air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation are measured and calculated at an automated meteorological station connected to a 900 MHz spread spectrum wireless network. Wind speed is measured at 37cm, 75 cm, 150 cm, and 300 cm, wind direction at approximately 3m, and air temperature and relative humidity at approximate 2.5m. Measurements are aggregated at intervals of 5, 30, 60 minutes and daily, with precipitation additionally provided with 1 second aggregation during precipitation events. The met station variables measured include air temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed. Precipitation is not measured at Block 1 and Block 12 because of proximity to Block 2 and Block 13, respectively . This is an ONGOING dataset.

title: Vowel Harmony as evidence of historical change

description: As a process of assimilation which is common in human languages, pretonic vowel harmony, such as happens in menina ~ minina, coruja ~ curuja, has been found in European Portuguese since its infancy, developing itself with the language over time half way through the eighteenth century, declining since then until its disappearance in European Portuguese in the nineteenth century, continuing, however, in Brazilian Portuguese. It can be seen as a watershed ever since: Brazilian Portuguese preserving the pretonic harmony on the one hand, and European Portuguese neglecting it, on the other hand; to dialects of the same language.

title: Situated views: linguistic ethnography and research in Applied Linguistics in Brazil

description: This article discusses ethnography as a theoretical and methodological choice for research in Applied Linguistics in Brazil. Based on narrative description and transcripts of an interactional episode observed in a public school classroom, we propose that the analysis of language practice data in conjunction with ethnographic fieldwork strengthens proper understanding of situated actions. We argue that privileging the participants' perspectives of what goes on at any given time and precise interactional settings, when associated with additional observation of related moments and settings, helps avoid hasty conclusions and establishes connections with less easily observable social structures (e.g., a political-pedagogical project). After describing the research project in which the episode was observed, we argue why laborious ethnographic work is worthwhile if it is rigorous and methodologically reflective. Finally, we highlight the value of this comprehensive outlook for researching in spheres of professional activity that are crucially important for civic life.

title: Narrative analysis and practices of understanding social life

description: This article reviews current work on narrative analysis, considering possibilities for dialogue with different areas of social research. We situate narrative analysis in the field of contemporary Applied Linguistics, assuming its alignment with the constructionist perspective of qualitative research, and provide theoretical and methodological tools for a discursive-interactional approach. The article also presents two analyses resulting from field research in contexts marked by violence. The first one, realized with inmates in a prison complex, focuses on a narrative about participation in a drug trafficking ring, reflecting on how the stigma of criminality is reframed in interaction. The second one deals with the Child Protective Services of Rio de Janeiro, seeking to identify the understandings of the caseworkers about how they perform their tasks.

title: Epistemologies in the introduction and development of written practices: identities at stake

description: This paper supposes that any work with facts of the world emerges from a reflection on knowledge, whether the latter is focused or dispersed, explicit or implicit. The paper conceives knowledge as a way of accessing the world and other persons, and it addresses here, in particular, the work with written practices. In order to show that reflection on knowledge has a vital role for the possible identities of subjects taking part in these practices, I set forth to illustrate, by using significant historical episodes, the introduction and development of writing in the lives of the Brazilian people.

title: From differences and hierarchies in the TV sketch Adelaide to situated and critical analysis in Applied Linguistics

description: Based on my analysis of a communicative situation, the TV sketch comedy Adelaide broadcasted in TV show Zorra Total, and its critical context, I present how I have faced the challenge of integrating various aspects of language in analysis, expanding the sphere of research activities and guiding the researches to linguistic aspects of human affairs. In order to accomplish that, I present the contextualization of my research which has led me to select this TV sketch comedy as empirical data and I analyze this material and its critical context. Then I present the situated repertoire that guided me: two major advances that have been adopted by the applied field. Finally, I articulate the consequences of this situated repertoire to an epistemological position that I take and share with other researchers in Applied Linguistics.

title: Didactic Sequences as a potential instrument of the reflective formation of teachers

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims not only to report the continuing education of Elementary School teachers which comprises the first stage of the development of a strictu sensu research project (Masters in Languages), but also to present two didactic sequences addressed to the teaching of text production in both genres, the article of opinion and news. The planning of the material happened during the mediation process of two collaborating teachers involved with the research which in turn was grounded on the theoretical and methodological contributions of sociodiscursive interactionism (regarding the construction of models and didactic sequences) and on the action-research paradigms and collaborative work. In the investigated context, interventional collaborative research is understood as an effective methodology for bringing the research products developed at the University into the schools.

title: The miracle of reading: from written signs to immortal imagery

description: ABSTRACT In this article, perspectives originated from the Linguistic, Psychology and Educational ﬁelds are placed together in order to: 1. Understand the speciﬁcities of how reading skills are acquired and how skilled readers' brain processes written material; 2. Contribute to the goal achievement of public policies focused on improving literacy (in particular, the Brazilian national agreement for learning to read at the right age - PNAIC) by taking advantage of the progress made in the science of reading. Two lines of reasoning will be followed aiming at trying to ﬁnd out why the progress in neuroscience research has not turn yet into a better reading instruction, with special attention to the Brazilian context. The ﬁrst reasoning line concerns to the conscious and unconscious processes of reading and how the pedagogy of reading can be betrayed by the visible tip of the iceberg; the second reasoning line relates to the shared characteristics of the oral and written language and to the speciﬁcities of the latter. If these speciﬁcities are better understood, the intervention of teachers and other professionals can be improved, thereby contributing to the indispensable dialogue between public policies, science and education.

title: Alignment and relativization strategies

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims at examining the hypothesis that the choice among the different strategies of relativization available in Portuguese grammar is motivated by a lesser or greater degree of transparency between form and meaning correlating with a lesser or greater degree of ease in cognitive processing. In addition, the different degrees of transparency allow the postulation of a hierarchical ordering of the strategies in correspondence with different degrees of ease in cognitive processing. This hypothesis is based on the principle postulated by Comrie (1989), which states that if a language has a more explicit relativization strategy and a less explicit one, the more explicit type would be used to relativize the lower positions on a scale of grammatical relations and the less explicit type would be used to relativize the highest ones. A concept that fits well to this principle is alignment, postulated by Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008) to represent the way pragmatic and semantic units, which are not hierarchically related, map onto morphossyntactic and phonological units; in other terms, the way the encoding process reflect the motivations of the formulation process.

title: Clause complexes as the basis for construing the narrative point of view in translation context

description: ABSTRACT This article briefly discusses the role of expansions for construing the characters’ identities and personality traits in Oscar Wilde’s novel The Picture of Dorian Gray and its translation, made by João do Rio, and adaptations, made by Clarice Lispector and Claudia Lopes, into Brazilian Portuguese. The discursive configuration or narrative axis that unveils the narrative point of view is the central linguistic realization of the discussion. The paper also problematizes the concept of omission and rewriting in the literary translation context, asserting that these kinds of (re)textualizations may create negative cultural impacts on the target-text reader. The discussion is informed by the principles of systemic-functional grammar and its contributions to literary translation, especially the concepts of projection and clause complex.
