In this paper, I analyse Brazilian Portuguese Hypocorization, inlight of the Prosodic Morphology model proposed by McCarthy &Prince (1990 and 1993). Agglutinative approaches refer to thisphenomenon as idiosyncratic, unpredictible and awkward,considering that the process deletes sound sequences ofanthroponims. Based on Prosodic Morphology, I argue against thishypothesis, showing that the process is highly regular if we consider(i) prosodic primitives and (ii) aspects of the phonology-morphologyinterface in Portuguese. By analyzing the phenomenon as a nonconcatenativeone, I claim that Hypocorization does not deletesound sequences of the base. Instead it is characterized by melodicsegment mapping of the first name onto a definite prosodic template.

This article discusses interactive processes in the reading andpresentation of Shakespearean plays in public schools of poorneighborhoods in the outskirts of Belo Horizonte. The originalproject had as its main aims the dialogue of languages and culturesand the search for a “non-traditional” teaching practice, a practicewhich would involve conscientization and polyphony.Starting with reflections from Bakhtin’s conceptions of theme andsignification, and trying to go beyond them, we bring out therelevance of contextual understanding as well as the debate ofideological questions in the classroom, a place where the subjectconstitutes him/herself and is constituted by the “others”. – Que pão!Doce?

In face of the quantitative analysis of sintagma nominal (SN) of theCatalan language, giving relevance to the relations between theconstituents, adjective and substantive, and, through a corpuscomposed of texts dated from the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 20thcenturies, I noted the change of word order of the constituents A(adjective) and N (substantive), to AN > NA. In other words, theold order, the anteposition of A to N, gives place to a more recentform, the posposition of A in relation to N. I verified that certaininherent semantic features act as determinative factors of the orderof these constituents, the adjectives and substantives.
