Neste trabalho nós analisamos formas que apresentam glides intervocálicos no português brasileiro, e.g. [méja] 'meia'. Na primeira parte do trabalho nós consideramos as possíveis interpretações para glides intervocálicos de acordo com a Teoria Fonológica de Governo. Após considerarmos o comportamento fonológico de glides intervocálicos nós proporemos que estes são derivados de umaposição nuclear preenchida com uma vogal alta. Nossa análise explica a distribuíção de glides intervocálicos em relação ao acento primário no português brasileiro.
This paper proposes a model ofreading processing based mainly on Fodor's (1983) theory ofthe modularity ofthe mind. According to this model there are many domains ofprocessing in reading. Some ofthem are part of the linguistic module and others are part ofthe cognitive processor. Among the domains of the linguistic module there are lexical access and sintactic parsing. To build up the propositional scheme of a text and to integrate the propositional macrostructure of the text to the reader's previous knowledge are tasks ofthe cognitive processor. This model also proposes aninterface between the linguistic module and the cognitive processor, where semantic parsing takes place
ln this paper I analyse the influence ofthe morphological constitution ofthe verbal form onthe absence ofagreement between the verb and the NP subject of 3pp (third person of plural) in the colloquial Brazilian Portuguese. According to the results this absence is significantly more ftequent in the "regular" verbs (falalfalam, comei comem, fazlfazem, etc.) than in the other verbs (i.e. the ''non-regular" verbs). The central claim is that these results are due to the peculiar behavior ofthe ''regular'' verbs where lack ofagreement is the result of the interaction between variable processes - a morphosyntactic synchronic nde and some phonological diachronic processes.
nthis paper, I examine the question ofsubjectivity in advertisements for clairvoyants, according to Discourse Analysis Theory (French version) and some elements of Enunciation Theory. These advertisements result from the interrelation between two kinds of discourse, the advertising andthe spiritualistic, as manifested inlower class publications. I show that, in spite ofits popular origin, this kind ofpropaganda in fact repeats the patternofthe elite class - with its ideology orpower, domination and alienation, both in linguistic and discourse terms.
The main purpose ofthis paper is to make evident tbat many lexical items ofthe portuguese language cannotbe seen as exceptionsto the pretonic mid vowels raining rules as they bave been cobsidered and tbat through the residue analysis the remaining exceptions bring out the need ofunderstanding language as "enunciação" inthe linguistic change processes.
The main argument ofthe present paper is that certain linguistic faets - which are central in the dispute for a politically correct use of language - are of paramount importance for discourse analysis, especially in the Frenchtradition. lnthis theory, language functioning and meaning are explained interms ofhistorical postulates. Yet, such facts are frequently disputed by speakers, andthis has the consequence of making explicit the fight for words and their senses. The widest known cases are those which encompass racist (e. g. blaek vs. afrobrazilian or afro-american) or sexist (e. g. sissy vs. homosexual) language.
Cet article expose, à vol d'oiseau, trois théories liées au phénomene de l'Argumentation:celles de Perelman, de Charaudeau et d'Anscombre & Ducrot. On tient à y montrer que l'ironie peut être utilisée aux fins argumentatives entantqu'élément de communication. Pour mieux exposer ce point de vue on appliquera les théories en question sur une chronique d'un écrivan brésilien: on y emphatisera une sorte d'argumentation qui fait I'usage et d'une ironie explicite et d'une ironie impliclte.C'est à travers I'observation des procédés de
fabrication de la derniere que I'on arrivera aux intentions du "sujetécrivant" ou du "sujet-communicant".
Linguistic as well as phylosophical tradition do not tak:e inta account a discoursive leveI of reference, necessarily ideological, that determines the 'exoforic' or 'anaphoric' deixis. From the analysis ofthe demonstrative pronouns of spoken POrWguese, this work proposes that the demonstrative pronouns, fimctioning either as determiners ar as noun phrases as a whole, constitute a privileged place ofcontact that the discourse event keeps with its specific exterior or with its interdiscoursive domain.
This paper presents an analysis of the verbal categories of Tense, Aspect and Mood as having the discourse function ofdistinguishing linguistic material from the foreground and background parts of
narratives in the Portuguese language. The corpus analysed was taken from spontaneous oral narratives from speakers of Brazilian Portuguese.
lnthe previous studies ofautosegmental phonology, the nasal harmony was considered as the universally conditionedharmony process, like tone, [±back], [ATR].lnthis paper, following the theory ofClements (1991), I propose that the language particular association convention should be assumed to explain the nasal harmony in Aguruna.
