This work aims to outline the historical route of Portuguese stress, through the analysis of three cmcial points in the language temporal continuum: LATIN, ARCHAIC PORTUGUESE, anel BRAzmAN PORTUGUESE. TIle emphasis is given to the description of the Archaic Portuguese stress attribution process, anel the corpus is constituteel by aU the "cantigas ele amigo· of the Cancioneiro da Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa, composeel between the enel of the XIIth century anel the beginning of the XIVth century. The theoretical framework adopteel here comes from the conceptions of parametric change - following Lightfoat (1991) - anel af nanlinear phonology - specially Hayes' (1991) metrical theory anel Mohanan's (1986) lexical theory. The analysis shows that aU these three perioels of the language adopt the sarne rhythmic basic foot (the moraic trochee) - anel the sarne choice referring to the setting of aU other rhythmic parameters vaue. The only exception is the value of the extrametrical constituent parameter. We concluele that there is no change in the. stress mie from Latin to Brazilian Portuguese. The changes verified in the extrametrical constituent parameter value setting are, in fact, consequence of a major linguistic change, not in the formulation of the stress rule itself, but in the moelule of its application (from postlexical to lexical component), in the Grammar, and in its elomain of application.

This paper aims at analyzing certain cases of elision of Ib,d,g/ in intervocalic position taking into consideration both syllabic stnlt.'ture anel the number of syllables. 111e elialect t.meler stuely is the Argentine Spanish of Rosario, dty which belongs to the linguistic region of the Río ele la Plata. Finally, the results obtaineel in our analysis are contrasted to John Harris' point ofview (989) in order to ielentify in which stage within Lexical Phonology these phenomena are placed.

L'àrticle en ,question présente un bref aperçu des rapports susceptibles d:ex4ster entre le stmcturalisme et la moderne analyse du dj"cours. Pour ce faire, on s'appuie sur certaines théories d' A.

Ensuite, en puisant dans des concepts issus de la théorie sémiolinguistjque, on essaie d'établir un "pontO entre des analyses considérées, a priori, comme bien eloignées l'une de l'autre.

This paper describes the functional situation of the first person singular subject pronoun (PPl), in Brazilian Portuguese, in colloquial and spontaneous discourse. I point out data obtained from informal conversations which indicate the major presence of PPl in orallanguage and I also analyse several linguistic factors which could be contributing to its use, even when it seems not to be necessary.

This article is a contribution to the study of the role played by pragmatic factors in negation in Brazilian Portuguese. It is shown that cultural factors, such as Leech's Politeness Maxims, play an important role in the use of negation by Brazilian Portuguese speakers and that these aspects must be taken into consideration in the teaching of Brazilian Portuguese as a foreign language.

The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis for the complementary distribution between the Brazilian forms você and cê (Uyou"). I argue that cê is a clitic and constitutes a step in the grammaticalization process of the form Vossa Mercê.

This study deals with the Sândi phenomena as a mot!vated and a variable role. It focuses the relationship between the syntactic dimension and the morphophonological system Df the Portuguese language. The data show that a strong syntactic dependence decreases the probability of loss of segments in the boundary of the words.

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.

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.

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".

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.

L'article en question fait un bref aperçu des rapports entretenus par Coelho, Schuchardt et Hesseling sur la question des pidgins et créoles. Ces auteurs, considerés comme les fondateurs des champs des études créoles et issus de la linguistique du XIXeme siécle, présentent des ressemblances et des différences, qu 'on peut déceler a partir de l'examen de quelques uns de leurs textes.

ln this paper, written in the framework of the PrincipIes and Parameters Theory, we propose an altemative anaIysis for post-verbaI constituents of inaccusative verbs, on the basis of Brazilian Portuguese data. Basically, we anaIyze these constituents as predicative constructions and we extend this anaIysis to all constructions which contain the so-called "definitude effect".

Na peça de Oswald de Andrade publicada em 1934, O Homem e o Cavalo, dois quadros são dedicados à propaganda revolucionária, tendo como contexto enunciativo o mundo socialista, e como agentes discursivos diferentes personagens, representantes do povo soviético. O objetivo deste trabalho é revelar o mecanismo argumentativo do discurso de propaganda, ou seja, analisar a argumentação propagandista em função dos diferentes argumentos (provas) fornecidos pelos locutores-oradores soviéticos, e explicitar as diferentes operações/construções de "mise en sens" do discurso. A estruturação dos argumentos (antes vs após a Revolução de 1917) revela a presença de 3 tipos de procedimentos 16gicoargumentativos: oposição, refutação, ilustração.

No presente artigo analiso comparativamente duas traduções-do conto "O príncipe Feliz", de Oscar Wilde, considerando-se três aspectos específicos: escolha lexical, fluxo de informações e gênero. Com este estudo tenho como objetico demonstrar como, neste caso em particular, estratégias que o/a tradutor/a utiliza podem aproximar e/ou afastar a tradução não apenas do texto original, bem como da audiência - alvo. Conforme se pode observar ao longo deste artigo, muitas destas escolhas, principalmente aquelas relacionadas ao gênero, acarretam o que se poderia considerar "danos à tradução", e geram novas modificações as quais o/a tradutor/a fica impelido a praticar. Igualmente significativas são as escolhas leXicais que limitam um texto (originalmente destinado ao público adulto e infantil) ao leitor maduro e com um vocabulário mais apurado.
