Nos anos 70, a Análise do Discurso de perspectiva materialista no Brasil, em sua filiação francesa, desenvolveu-se numa conjuntura em que o formalismo era dominante nas Ciências da Linguagem. A partir de Althusser, Pêcheux (1971) avança seus estudos ao propor que a relação entre ideologia e discurso instaure o materialismo histórico como ponto de fuga […]
There is an increasing awareness of the role of prosody in speech perception and comprehension, yet at the same time, there is increasing evidence of pervasive, substantial variation in the phonological and phonetic expression of prosody. Thus, despite progress in identifying acoustic correlates of prosody, and similar progress in identifying the dimensions of structural and […]
This talk will focus on the importance of knowledge related to particular lexical items and of low-level generalizations in the description of language. In the first part of the talk I will focus on problems arising in the context of teaching English to foreign learners and show how traditional concepts of collocation and valency, which […]
The process of acquiring one’s first language (L1) is often described as leading to endpoint outcomes by early adulthood. This talk will present phonetic evidence of continued L1 malleability, which suggests that individual linguistic systems develop and change over the lifespan in response to new language experience. In particular, I will discuss cases of phonetic […]
O objetivo desta roda de conversa é discutir três redes de pesquisa na área da Educação Linguística, que se pautam por perspectivas críticas e se realizam nas esferas regional, nacional e internacional.
Abordagem formal de fenômenos pragmáticos com atenção para a pressuposição e o papel do contexto.
The aim of this talk is to show that missing object constructions (“null objects”, “object gaps”) in a single language, as well as across languages, is better understood as deriving via the application of different operations in different languages and do not constitute a homogeneous phenomenon (pro, or “variable”, or “ellipsis”). In other words, there […]
Language comprehension is mainly carried out by specialized cognitive mechanisms that are language-specific and are not engaged in other high-level cognitive functions. Additionally, much research has found that domain-general resources—e.g., executive function, working memory, or inhibition—also contribute comprehension. However, prior studies are overwhelmingly based on cleverly designed artificial tasks, which do not mimic comprehension “in […]
A realidade dialetal do Português Brasileiro é alvo de interesse e observação de linguistas, filólogos e gramáticos desde o século XIX, quando surgiram os primeiros comentários acerca das peculiaridades da língua em face do Português Europeu (CARDOSO, 2010). A aplicação do método geolinguístico, porém, postergou-se para a segunda metade do século XX. O decreto 30.643, […]
Dinka (Nilotic, South Sudan) has been cited as a challenge for item-based approaches to morphology, since its inflectional system is primarily expressed through changes to the root (e.g. Aronoff & Fudeman 2011:54; Inkelas 2014:72; Arkadiev & Klamer 2018:450), including lengthening, shortening, raising, lowering, as well as alternations in voice and tone. Number morphology on nouns […]
