The genre analysis as a stimulator of discussions in the field of linguistic studies, in the way that it is structured, constructs an epistemology that separates the subjetive factors of genre estructuring. Though it arises from an interactional statute, it disregards the problems of convention and use of genre because it does not considers the individual aspects of the language users and, in this way, lose sight of the fators related to the formation and to the variation of genre. In this sense, the presente article proposes to investigate the interactional path of a particular communicative event in regard to a genre that can be ENTREVISTA POR E-MAIL: PRAGMÁTICA DE UM GÊNERO (DES)CONHECIDO OU PROBLEMAS COMUNICATIVOS NA VARIAÇÃO DO GÊNERO Adair Bonini1 characterized as emergent. The particular aspect of the case studied resides in the fact that the discourse community is not the one that seems to be playing the principle role in formatting of the “interview by e-mail” as a genre, but the “fight” of the interactors with the novelty presented: a media that imposes a different pattern of interaction and textual forms that respect it.

In this paper, I intend to show that the hypothesis according to which nasal diphthongs in BP originate from lexical /VGN/ sequences, as was proposed by Câmara Jr., is incompatible with some general properties of the phonological grammar of PB. Particularly, one consequence of the proposal of Câmara Jr., which is that sequences consisting of an oral vowel followed by a hetero-syllabic nasal vowel (Coimbra) and sequences representing nasal diphthongs have identical lexical representations (cãimbra), generates serious descriptive problems, which cannot be solved in a satisfactory manner. Therefore, the hypothesis of an underlying /VGN/ representation for nasal diphthongs is rejected. Instead, it is shown that only a very ´concrete´ lexical representation of nasal diphthongs is compatible with the facts of stress and syllable structure of BP.

This article features a system for morphological and syntactic analysis, with an example for a sentence in Portuguese language. The analysis serves for spelling and grammar checking, for informations systems and machine translation. At the same time, it is used forA didactical purposes in courses of Computational Linguisticas for Post-graduates at the Federal University of Ceará.

Any text, according to Mikhail Bahktin, is constructed from the absortion and transformation of other texts. The readings of a text, therefore, may be as many as there are readers, as each reader will bring into it his own previous texts. The new text will establish a dialogue with them and get richer with new dimensions. In Thurber’s “Mr. Preble gets rid of his wife” we observe that Poe’s “The black cat” brings into Thurber’s story a new interest and provides a new perception, contributing to enhance its humour.

One domain of Information Science that has most developed in the last 30 years is the documentary indexing. This evolution is strictly linked to the changes of paradigms that happen in our society, independent of the domain of the knowledge. This article is concerning the new changes of indexing and it is the first part of a sequence of two papers concerning indexing.

This paper aims to discuss the Barroque poet Gregorio de Mattos & Guerra’s nativism sentiment. To many critics, the poet was first brazilian writer to express it, when he satirized the portuguese colonial exploitation. However, the analyse of his verses and the his supred biographer licenciado Rabello’s description leads to an ambiguous nativism or even an antinativism sentiment of the poet. This contradition is explained by the antithetical tendency of the Barroque associeted to the poet’s feigned, dramatic temperament and the great social mobility of the Portuguese America in the 17th century.

Dans ce texte nous faisons une analyse du livre Água Viva, écrit par Clarice Lispector, avec l’aide de deux concepts: devenir (qui vient de la philosophie) et dissolution du je (qui vient d’une reflexion philosophique-litttéraire). Nous voulons découvrir une possibilité d’articulation entre les idées sur l’être, la langage et le temps, developpées dans Água Viva, et les deux concepts examinés.

In this work we will present a sketch of the Strategical Comprehension Model of Kintsch & van Dijk (1983, 1985), a model that, besides to provide a large explanation of the discourse comprehension process in general and of the written text in particular, represents maybe the unique theoretical construct which includes in its assumptions the summarization of texts as an essential part of the comprehension process. In this way, this work provides an overview of the reading comprehension model mentioned and situates in it the texts summarization process. Besides, in order to reinforce or enlarge the discussion, we chose to present some research data related to the model to be described.
