This work tries to demonstrate the resauras used by José Saramago to make A jangada de pedra a thesis romance. Following the historical speech of the book, we find the narrative speech, being its opposite also proved. The connections between the speeches are done with great expressivity. The imaginary narrative is presented all the time: unusual facts happens, the peninsula is divided from the rest of Europe, and the controversy that is caused serves as something to confirm this “transiberista” thesis.

This paper tries to exercise a kind of analysis in which the text may instigate in the reader his capacity to produce new texts as supplements. From Marcel Proust’s “À la recherche du temps perdu”, it’s installed a confrontation between various readings of this work to, at the end, understand the interpretation itself as a meeting with the otherness of the text, of the author and of the reader.

Ce travail a pour but de présenter quelques observations concernant l’applicabilité du modèle de traduction d’Heloisa Gonçalves Barbosa. Cette réflexion s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche réalisée pour l’élaboration d’une dissertation de Maîtrise. Nous avons cherché à identifier les procédures employées par le traducteur du roman Essa Terra, Jacques Thiériot, concernant le sens et le registre de langue des termes et expressions populaires de ce roman. Notre recherche nous a permis d’observer que ce modèle présente des techniques efficaces, mais qu’il est limité sous plusieurs aspects.

A reflection concerning the effect of two terrible world wars and the great economic depression of the 1930’s on American life during the second half of the 20th cetury. This effect is clearly refected in the literature of the period, as one might well expect. But, in a very special way, the immense psychological and moral damage wreaked upon the population of the United States by these events can be found in the writings of three American women: Flannery O’Connor, who calls the attention of the readers of her fiction to the need for a Christian perception of human life; Carson McCullers, whose fictional characters suffer the psychological and spiritual isolation experenced by the majority of human beings, even in the midst of a multitude, and Toni Morrison, who writes about the eternal problem of racism in the United States and the negative effects of a dominant white culture on the black population of America.

The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the effects of writing the first name on the spelling of preconsonantal nasals. 25 children from 1st and 2nd grades were divided into two groups and interviewed. In one group the children had a preconsonantal nasal in their first name. In the other group they didn’t. The results suggest that the ones with preconsonantal nasal take advantage from the graphic stability of their own names to develop their conceptualizations of the spelling of nasal sounds. The ones who don’t have the nasal in their first name use the information taken from some memorized words with nasal to make distinctions between minimal pairs. This reveals that distinctive nasal is required before non distinctive nasal.

Segundo a ordem Sujeito-Verbo-Objeto (SVO) na língua padrão do Português do Brasil - PB, a concordância verbal é estabelecida entre o sujeito e o verbo. Em nosso estudo sobre o fenômeno da concordância verbal em narrativas infantis, nós encontramos evidências de que, nesse caso, nós temos um fenômeno variável, como foi mostrado em trabalhos anteriores sobre o português falado no Brasil (Naro, 1981; Scherre & Naro, 1991; Scherre & Naro, 1993; Naro & Scherre, 1996; e outros). Para essa análise, nós distinguimos três casos para mostrar o uso da concordância sujeito-verbo: a) o tipo de sujeito afetando o uso da concordância verbal; b) a inversão verbo-sujeito como um fator que tem influência na falta de concordância; c) a distância e a posição do sujeito com relação ao verbo. A partir dos resultados obtidos, procuramos mostrar que a produção das crianças na escrita reflete o caráter variável da regra de concordância verbal no PB.

This article intends to identify the main features of Brazilian Northeast dialect, through the study of Samarica Parteira, a story narrated by the popular musician, and composer, Luiz Gonzaga. Firstly, I sumarised the most common sounds — related to phonology and syntax — that comprise Gonzaga’s geographical area, according to some authors. Secondly, I proceeded with a literal transcription of this prose, and with some final comments.

Literary History faces some peculiar questions dealing with the movements of the avant-garde. Futurism proposes the repression of the cul-tural memory, being in opposition to History. Dadaism celebrates the instant, disillusioned with the expectations of the past and doubting any further future dream. In Brazil, the concretismo and the poema processo oppose themselves polically and leave to postmodernism the role of reconducting the past into the present.

Reflections on the activity of translation have manifested, for over two thousand years, both radical and diametrically opposed postures. The old tension between literal and free translation, for example, has still not been satisfactorily resolved. Despite manifesting itself, in the present day, under different labels, it is always, essentially, the same old tension that arises. Starting with the assumption that extreme positions always miss the mark, as they generally emphasize one aspect at the expense of others, this article defends an integrated view of the phenomenon of translation. In the appendix to the article, a questionnaire may be found with questions and answers about theories of translation.

Dans cet article nous nous proposons d’exposer des réflexions sur une expérience de traduction du portugais vers le français de quelques nouvelles de l’écrivain cearense Moreira Campos. Nous essayons de montrer les procédés utilisés pour reproduire dans la langue d’arrivée le paysage littéraire esquissé à partir du texte original; quels facteurs ont déterminé nos choix de solutions, au niveau formel. Nous n’examinons ici que certaines des marques linguistiques à travers lesquelles ce paysage se révèle, à savoir, les temps verbaux et les structures nominales.

This paper aims to present in a critical way the approaches concerning prefixes, namely the criteria based on productivity, prefix-preposition correspondence, operative perspective. After presenting these points of view, we conclude that they are not enough by themselves to identify prefix, because they are not structural.

This paper analyses indirect speech in children’s narratives. Its aim is to varify how children of initial grades reproduce indirect speech in written narratives. It is based on the analysis of 123 narratives reporting the story of Little Red Ridinghood which belong to the data basis of comparative researches in Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian through the Textus system. It varifies that seven-year-old children who are in the first grade are the least capable of producing indirect speech, mainly in its developed form with the conjunction”that”—they usually prefer the infinitive form. It is only from the third grade on that nine-year olds use the developed form more frequently and accurately.

After a brief discussion of the problems of translation on the one hand and its interest for the comparison of languages on the other, the structure of narrative texts as well as the expression and function of the linguistic categories of tense, aspect, and aktionsart (aspectual character of verbs) in the four languages involved will be dealt with. Grammatical and lexical aspect (as well as tense) are essential for shifting between foreground and background, i.e. between the forward moving skeleton of the narrative and more descriptive sections containing secondary information surrounding the foreground. It will be shown that the translators of Jorge Amado´s novel Gabriela, cravo e canela make use of a whole scale of linguistic resources in the target languages French, English, and German for rendering the functions of the Portuguese aspectual distinction perfective/imperfective in some foregrounded and backgrounded passages chosen from one chapter of this novel. Still, the translations are neither fully equivalent to the original nor to each other.

This paper deals with topicality as a general property of discourse organization and investigates the semanticdiscursive topic coding in narrative as resulting from both cognitive and communicative motivations. Empirical results of personal experience narrative analysis show that topic is hierarchically organized and that such hierarchy is equally projected on speech and writing. The difference between the two modalities arises at the level of coding unities which syntactically represente the narrative hierarchic structure in discourse.

This paper concentrates on a reading of João de Barros’ grammar, published for the first time in 1540. The paper basically analyses the main aspects of João de Barros’ orthographic doctrine and his theory on the parts of speech. This reading demonstrates that João de Barros did not limit himself to just repeating the classic tradition. He, on the contrary, was able to perceive and to accurately describe a series of changes in the Portuguese language.

Definições populares empregadas por trinta falantes do português brasileiro para expressarem o conceito transmitido pelos supraordenados de nove categorias semânticas são analisadas à luz do modelo psicolingüístico de categorização semântica proposto por Markovitz (1977). As respostas dos sujeitos ao descreverem atributos e funções associadas com o conceito da categoria foram comparadas com respostas obtidas por um grupo de setenta e seis sujeitos falantes do inglês americano que participaram de um estudo similar realizado por aquela autora. Embora os resultados da análise apontem para uma estreita correspondência lingüística entre os comportamentos dos dois grupos, eles destacam o fato de que peculiaridades específicas à cultura também existem e estas irão governar a freqüência e o uso de certas relações semânticas. Espera-se que a análise relatada neste artigo sirva como um pequeno passo para lançar luz sobre o fato de que a formação de conceitos reflete o contexto sócio-cultural onde estes são construidos

The penisular Medicine - within the European world - it offers certain peculiar characteristics notes, for example: the Moslem presence; the decisive role of the Jews in the delimitation and in the overcoming of the monastic Medicine that in incorporating to the others Christian reigns brings back the Almoravide intolerance; the maturity of the peninsular romance languages. This last factor is of fundamental importance to the researchers of the medical literature since the sloping of the philology.

In the interactive processing of texts, the reader has to elaborate the word, sentence, concept and text-level processes simultaneously in order to establish meaning relations with the text. To achieve this purpose, the reader has to develop word, sentence and discourse-comprehension skills. In foreign language, the development of these skills requires some basic vocabulary and grammatical knowledge of the language. This way, the reader must reach a linguistic threshold to be able to read texts in foreign language.

The present work is a study in Comparative Literature which analyses the sea as metaphor in the Brazilian novel, Mar Morto, by Jorge Amado, The Old Man and the Sea (O Velho e o Mar) by the American novelist, Ernest Hemingway, as well as in the one-act play by Irish dramatist, John Millington Synge, Riders to the Sea (no translation available in Portuguese). With the principal focus on Mar Morto, this study considers the sea as an element which provokes different attitudes in the masculine and feminine characters of the three literary works. The relationship of the mariners of Bahia to the sea is compared to that of Santiago, the old man of Hemingway’s novel: these men admire and love the sea, which they consider as the dominant feminine force in their lives and the source of their religious belief. The women’s relationship to the sea is very different. In comparing the attitude of the feminine characters in Mar Morto and Riders to the Sea, one can readily observe that the mothers, daughters, wives and lovers of those whose life is irrevocably linked to the sea, consider it to be an enemy which robs them of the love and support which is provided for them by their men. There is in these women, however, a strange resignation to their fate, and when death occurs at sea, they weep and lament, but finally accept the role which destiny has assigned them.

This paper aims to present, in a critical way, some usual definitions of style, according to Enkvist’s book named Lingüística e Estilo. We divide them into two groups. One of them concerns definitions based on metaphysical and psycological grounds; the other one comprehends definitions which take into account the following parameters: emphasis; choice; individual characteristics; deviation related to a norm; set of collective characteristics; and relationships between linguistic entities in texts longer than sentences. Finally, as a conclusion, we recognize that the riffaterrean conception about Stylistics is more operative.

O após-guerra trouxe um inevitável questionamento de valores antes considerados como referenciais fixos. A súbita e total destruição de cidades, vidas e relações familiares representa um conjunto de circunstâncias que levaram o homem a refletir sobre o fato de que tudo pode deixar de existir subitamente, até mesmo o aspecto mais material de sua vida, seu espaço físico. Essa quebra da relação de continuidade, juntamente com a convicção de que não se pode acreditar ou confiar no amanhã, fez do homem um ser cínico e imediaista. É interessante portanto observar como o discurso do amor transformou-se nessa situação de modernidade. Para tal exame escolhemos o romance Hotel du Lac da escritora britânica Anita Brookner, vencedor do prêmio Booker Prize em 1984, ano em que foi escrito o romance.
