Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é, a partir de uma análise comparativa entre as principais abordagens teóricas do estudo de Marcadores Discursivos (MDs) e da identificação de princípios elementares comuns a essas abordagens, especificar, e, assim, precisar, a definição de MDs da Gramática Textual-Interativa (GTI). Especificamente, o objetivo é levantar, no corpus selecionado, todas as unidades que preenchem os traços de um núcleo piloto definidor de MDs e, então: (i) definir funções específicas predominantemente textuais dessas unidades, como forma de especificação da variável articulação de segmentos do discurso; (ii) definir funções específicas predominantemente interacionais, como forma de especificação da variável orientação da interação (JUBRAN & KOCH, 2006); e (iii) identificar as diferentes formas morfossintáticas que funcionam como MDs e, então, possíveis correlações sistemáticas entre as formas e as (sub)funções dos MDs. A investigação teórica preliminar permitiu constatar que diferentes abordagens de MDs compartilham algum tipo de função conectiva. Com base nesse princípio da conectividade, foi especificada, e, em alguns aspectos, reformulada a definição de MDs da GTI. A parte da pesquisa referente à definição de subfunções predominantemente textuais evidenciou a necessidade de estabelecimento de critérios precisos de distinção entre seqüenciamento tópico e seqüenciamento frasal.

The investigation aims particularly at searching the corpus for all the units which match the features of a defining pilot core and then (i) defining these unitsþ predominantly textual functions as a way of specifying the discourse segments articulation variable; (ii) defining predominantly interactional functions as a way of specifying the interaction orientation variable (JUBRAN & KOCH, 2006); and (iii) identifying the different morfo-syntactic forms which function as DMs as well as possible systematic correlations between such forms and DMs (sub)functions. The preliminary theoretical investigation has shown that different approaches on DMs share some kind of connective function. TIG definition of DMs was stated and, in some aspects, reformulated according to this connective principle. The part of this investigation dealing with the definition of predominantly textual sub-functions evidenced the need to establishment accurate criteria in order to distinguish topical sequencing and clausal sequencing. As to this, the following criteria have proven to be relevant: (i) syntactic and semantic-pragmatic integration degree between the segment and its antecedent, (ii) prosodic integration degree between the segment and its antecedent, (iii) the textual-interactive relevance degree of the segment within the Topic Segment.

Introduction -- Translation error analysis: a systemic functional grammar approach -- Systemic functional approach to the issues of Korean theme study -- A corpus based study on the system of THEME in Korean -- Using systemic functional text analysis for translator education: an illustration with a foucus on the textual meaning -- Readability analysis of community translation: a systemic functional approach -- Conclusion.
Most linguistic communities have textual resources for organizing experiences into coherent text. The way that the resources are used may not be the same but vary from one language to another. This variation can be a source of translation difficulty in rendering a natural-reading translation. This thesis investigates the question of how the choices of Theme, which is one of the main textual resources, have an impact on textual meaning in translation between English and Korean. -- The premise underlying the study is that a translation that is not inaccurate in lexical choices may still read as unnatural to the target readers if a careful consideration is not given to Theme choices at the clause level and Thematic development at the text level in the source and target texts. This assumption is derived from systemic functional linguistic (SFL) theory, which postulates that Theme at the clause level plays a critical role in constructing a text into a coherent linear whole at the text level. This brings in another equally important question of the study: how Theme works in Korean. No research has been done to investigate the system of THEME in Korean from a systemic functional point of view or on the basis of extensive discourse analysis across a range of registers. Therefore, this study investigates the THEME system in Korean using a corpus consisting of a number of authentic Korean texts in three different text types. -- These two coherent questions are investigated in five self-contained journal articles included in the thesis. Two of them have been published (Chapters 2 and 5), one has been submitted for publication (Chapter 6) and the other two will be submitted (Chapters 3 and 4). The journal article format for thesis has recently been introduced at Macquarie University as an approved alternative to the traditional thesis structure.
Chapter 1 introduces a number of preliminary issues for, and information relevant to, the study such as research questions and background, the corpus, the underlying theoretical assumption and anticipated contributions to this area of research. Chapter 2 is a report of a pilot-project that motivated the current study. It discusses how to use text analysis based on systemic functional grammar to analyze translation errors/issues and provides systematic explanations relating to such issues. Chapter 3 reviews issues that have been raised by Korean linguists in relation to the study of Theme in Korean and provides suggestions on how to resolve these issues drawing on systemic functional theory. Chapter 4 describes the features of Korean THEME system based on the analysis of clausal Themes and thematic development of 17 texts of the corpus. Chapter 5 is a discussion about the pedagogical efficiency of using systemic functional text analysis for translator education with a particular emphasis on the textual meaning in translation. Chapter 6 attempts to analyze the readability issue of community translations in Australian context. Chapter 7 concludes the thesis with a number of suggestions for further study. --As the research investigates the question of textual meaning in translation, which has not been rigorously studied, and the question of Theme in Korean, which has never been studied on the basis of a corpus and of discourse analysis, it is anticipated that this work will make considerable theoretical and practical contributions in both fields.

Texto completoCom base em pressupostos teÃricos do paradigma funcionalista, investigamos os aspectos sintÃtico-semÃnticos e textual-discursivos da oraÃÃo relativa explicativa em textos escritos do portuguÃs contemporÃneo pertencentes Ãs literaturas tÃcnica, jornalÃstica, romanesca e dramÃtica do Banco de Dados de LÃngua Escrita ContemporÃnea no Brasil, que està armazenado no Centro de Estudos LexicogrÃficos da Faculdade de CiÃncias e Letras, UNESP de Araraquara-SP. Neste estudo, partimos de uma discussÃo a respeito das propriedades da oraÃÃo relativa explicativa apontadas pelas gramÃticas tradicionais e descritivas de lÃngua portuguesa, bem como por pesquisas de orientaÃÃo funcionalista para, apÃs a anÃlise de 503 ocorrÃncias, proceder à comparaÃÃo com construÃÃes, à primeira vista, muito semelhantes: as apositivas nÃo-restritivas e as adverbiais. Os resultados obtidos confirmam a hipÃtese de que as oraÃÃes relativas explicativas se assemelham Ãs construÃÃes apositivas, sobretudo no que concerne Ãs caracterÃsticas do plano textualdiscursivo, mas se afastam da representaÃÃo prototÃpica da aposiÃÃo pela assimetria sintÃtico-semÃntica observada na construÃÃo relativa. Os dados analisados tambÃm confirmam a hipÃtese de que a oraÃÃo relativa explicativa assemelha-se Ãs construÃÃes adverbiais por comportar-se como uma manifestaÃÃo alternativa de articulaÃÃo de conteÃdos circunstanciais (mediante proposiÃÃes relacionais inferidas de causa, conseqÃÃncia e concessÃo); mas, ao contrÃrio delas, pode servir diretamente ao propÃsito de aporte de informaÃÃes na construÃÃo argumentativo-atitudinal da identidade dos referentes discursivos. A partir dos resultados da pesquisa, discutimos uma proposta de abordagem reflexiva e produtiva da oraÃÃo relativa no ensino de gramÃtica nas escolas. Acreditamos que a presente pesquisa contribuirà para a descriÃÃo e anÃlise lingÃÃstica do portuguÃs contemporÃneo, bem como para o ensino, que deverà buscar a ampliaÃÃo da competÃncia textual-discursiva dos alunos ao tornar as aulas de anÃlise lingÃÃstica e de leitura e produÃÃo de textos mais consistentes e coerentes em relaÃÃo ao uso efetivo da lÃngua.
Based on the theoretical presuppositions of the functionalist paradigm, a research was done on the syntactic-semantic and textual-discursive aspects of the explicative relative sentence in texts written in contemporary Portuguese. These texts are part of the technical, journalistic, novelistic and dramatic literatures of the Contemporary Written Language Database in Brazil, which are stored in the Lexicographical Studying Center of the Science and Letters College, UNESP from Araraquara in SÃo Paulo â Brazil. In this study, it was developed a discussion related to the explicative relative sentence properties which are presented by the traditional and descriptive grammars of the Portuguese language, as well as by some functionalist orientation researches, in order to make a comparison with some structures, after analyzing 503 occurrences. At first, these structures were considered too similar: the non-restrictive appositives and the adverbial ones. The obtained results in this research confirm the hypothesis that the explicative relative sentences are similar to the appositive structures, above all considering the characteristics of the textual-discursive plan; but they move away from the prototypical representation of the apposition by the syntactic-semantics asymmetry which is observed in the relative structure. The analyzed data also confirm the hypothesis that the explicative relative sentence is similar to the adverbial structures while working as an alternative articulation manifestation of circumstantial contents (by means of inferred relational proposals of cause, consequence and concession); but, in contrast with them, it can be directly used for serving to the purpose of conducting some information to the argumentative-attitudinal arrangement of the identity of the discursive referents. From the obtained results of this research, it was discussed a proposal of a productive and reflexive approach of the relative sentence in the grammar teaching process at schools. It is important to mention that this research will certainly contribute to the descriptive and linguistic analysis of the contemporary Portuguese language, as well as to the teaching process, which is supposed to try to get the extension of the textual-discursive studentsâ competence by turning the linguistic analysis and the reading-comprehension and writing lessons into more consistent and coherent classes in relation to the effective use of the language.

This investigation aims at describing, analyzing and interpreting the Commitment in Initial Petitions, which is a genre circumscribed in the judicial domain. For this purpose, we have chosen sections, facts as found and relevant law , sections of the petition, with the understanding that, in this way, respectively, the narration of events, which gives margin to the propositioning to the judicial action, and the exposition of the law that upholds the author s intention. We base our discussion on the field of Linguistics, more precisely, Textual Discourse Analysis (TDA), whose theoretical basis is derived from Textual Linguistics (TL) and Enunciative Linguistics. We foreground, particularly, the way in which the author of texts, objects of analysis, use discursive strategies that evidence ER. The relevance of this study, then, is in the formation of a critique of the judicial text, as it conceives of a dialogical approach to the point of view, raising not only questions about the way in which a linguistic instance conceives an object of discourse, but also considering questions of language inherent to technical writing and, in this aspect, contributing to the work of those operating in Law about the many ways ER is formed in the body of a petition. We selected two categories to analyze that, according to Adam (2011), characterize the degree of ER in the textual material of the propositional enunciations: the different types of representation of speech and the indications of profile of mediators. In this sense, with this task as an objective, we base our study regarding point of view on Rabatel (2003, 2009a, 2010) with relation to the enunciative approach, including the study of PDV in polyphonic and dialogical theoretical framework to study the ER from different types of speech representations that conceive forms of transmission of discourse and the role of the enunciating subject, mainly the responsibility and the prerogative by the propositional contents. In the same way, intending to study the indications of the mediator profiles, we observed the postulations of Guentch?va (1994, 1996), which develop the notion of mediative grammatical categories, of which permit the linguistic marking of distance and engagement of the enunciator with regard to the information expressed. The methodology we adopted was based on qualitative research, of an interpretive and introspective nature, in light of the fact that his study focuses on processes and strategies underlying language use. The corpus of the research is comprised of Initial Petitions, which gave rise to actions originating in the Civil Court of Currais Novos County RN. The data analysis shows that an object of discourse is always perspective oriented and presents the point of view of one or more enunciators. Consequently, the producer of a text, using the PDV of other enunciators, influences and establishes the argumentative orientation of the text. In the same way, it evidences the relevance of the use of mediated constructions in the judicial text, as they function as strategies attenuated to the responsibility of the producer of the text with what is said, and at the same time points to a discourse of authority through the entrance of the sources of law. Moreover, it reveals the documental and international importance of this practice, at the same time that it exposes the compositional and normative difficulties with regard to legal and linguistic aspects
Esta investiga??o objetiva descrever, analisar e interpretar a Responsabilidade Enunciativa (RE) em Peti??es Iniciais, g?nero discursivo circunscrito ao dom?nio jur?dico. Para tanto, elegemos como objeto o estudo das se??es Dos fatos e Da fundamenta??o jur?dica , da peti??o, compreendendo, assim, respectivamente, a narra??o dos eventos, que deu margem ? propositura da a??o judicial, e ? exposi??o do direito que ampara a pretens?o da parte autora. Ancoramos a discuss?o no campo da Lingu?stica, mais precisamente, na An?lise Textual dos Discursos (ATD), cujas bases te?ricas decorrem da Lingu?stica Textual (LT) e da Lingu?stica Enunciativa. Colocamos em relevo, particularmente, o modo como o autor dos textos, objetos de an?lise, faz uso das estrat?gias discursivas que indicam a RE. Dessa forma, a relev?ncia deste estudo reside na constru??o da cr?tica ao texto jur?dico, pois empreende uma abordagem dial?gica do ponto de vista, suscitando n?o apenas questionamentos sobre a maneira como uma inst?ncia lingu?stica concebe um objeto de discurso, mas tamb?m discutindo as quest?es de linguagem inerentes ? escrita especializada e, nesse aspecto, contribuindo com o trabalho dos operadores do Direito acerca das v?rias maneiras de constru??o da RE no corpo do texto peticional. Selecionamos duas categorias de an?lise que, segundo Adam (2011), caracterizam na materialidade textual o grau de RE dos enunciados proposicionais: os diferentes tipos de representa??o da fala e as indica??es de quadros mediadores. Nesse sentido, objetivando tal tarefa, baseamo-nos nos estudos acerca do ponto de vista realizados por Rabatel (2003, 2009a, 2010) no que concerne ? abordagem enunciativa, inserindo o estudo do PDV no arcabou?o das teorias polif?nicas e dial?gicas para estudar a RE a partir dos diferentes tipos de representa??o da fala que compreendem as formas de transmiss?o do discurso e o papel do sujeito enunciador no tocante ? responsabilidade e ? imputa??o pelos conte?dos proposicionais. Da mesma forma, tencionando estudar as indica??es de quadros mediadores, observamos os postulados de Guentch?va (1994, 1996), que desenvolve a no??o de categoria gramatical do mediativo (MED), a qual permite marcar linguisticamente o distanciamento ou engajamento do enunciador diante das informa??es expressas. No que concerne ? metodologia, adotamos a pesquisa de base qualitativa, de natureza interpretativista e introspectiva, haja vista que este estudo focaliza processos e estrat?gias subjacentes ao uso da linguagem. O corpus da pesquisa ? constitu?do por Peti??es Iniciais, que ensejaram a??es oriundas na Vara C?vel da Comarca de Currais Novos-RN. A an?lise dos dados mostra que um objeto de discurso ? sempre perspectivado e manifesta o ponto de vista de um ou mais enunciadores. Como consequ?ncia, o produtor do texto, ao utilizar-se dos PDV de outros enunciadores, influencia e estabelece a orienta??o argumentativa do texto. Da mesma forma, evidencia a relev?ncia do uso das constru??es mediatizadas no texto jur?dico, pois funcionam como estrat?gias atenuantes da responsabilidade do produtor do texto com o que ? dito, e ao mesmo tempo visa um discurso de autoridade pela entrada das fontes do direito. Ainda, revela a import?ncia documental e interacional dessa pr?tica, ao mesmo tempo que exp?e dificuldades de natureza composicional e normativa no que concerne aos aspectos legais e lingu?sticos

This dissertation is in the research line of Text and Discourse in Oral and Written Modalities and it has as subject the discourse of bank advertising. The fundamental question which drives the analysis undertaken is: In what linguistic-discursive artifices do producers of such advertisements rely on to argumentatively influence the readers? We assume it is the ideological character of the propagandistic discourse. Thus, we established a general goal: to analyze the discourse of bank advertising; and a specific goal: to identify the social and linguistic-discursive dimensions of bank advertising. For this study, we sought help, especially in the work of Norman Fairclough (2001) which addresses the discourse as a social practice. Regarding the works made about the language of advertising and its features, we make comments on some authors: Antônio Sandmann (1993), Adilson Citelli (1994 and 1990) and Luiz Carlos Assis Iasbeck (2002). Concerning the argument, we present the considerations of Chaim Perelman (1987) and Olivier Reboul (1998). The obtained results show us that the discourse of bank advertising is produced, textually, with several features such as cohesion, politeness, ethos, transitivity, theme, modality and the vocabulary that involves the meaning and the sense of the words. But, we also have the extralinguistic elements such as culture and ideology. We consider that the extralinguistic elements appear in the discourse, especially in interdiscursivity, in the intertextuality and in the assumption of the discourse of bank advertising. So, these are the linguistic-discursive artifices that the producers of bank advertising rely on to argumentatively influence the readers. And, it confirms our assumption that it is, above all, the ideological character of the propagandistic discourse that influences the readers and supposed consumers
Essa dissertação insere-se na linha de pesquisa Texto e Discurso nas Modalidades Oral e Escrita e tem como tema o discurso da propaganda bancária. A questão fundamental, que move a análise empreendida, é: De quais artifícios linguístico-discursivos se valem os produtores dessas propagandas para influenciar, argumentativamente, os leitores? Temos como pressuposto o caráter ideológico do discurso propagandístico. Para tanto, estabelecemos um objetivo geral: analisar o discurso da propaganda bancária; e um objetivo específico: identificar as dimensões social e linguística-discursiva da propaganda bancária. Para este estudo, buscamos auxílio, sobretudo, no trabalho de Norman Fairclough (2001) que aborda o discurso como prática social. Em relação aos trabalhos realizados sobre a linguagem da propaganda e suas características, tecemos comentários de alguns autores: Antônio Sandmann (1993), Adilson Citelli (1994 e 1990) e Luiz Carlos Assis Iasbeck (2002). Sobre a argumentação, apresentamos as considerações de Chaim Perelman (1987) e Olivier Reboul (1998). Os resultados obtidos mostram-nos que o discurso da propaganda bancária é produzido, textualmente, com vários recursos como coesão, polidez, ethos, transitividade, tema, modalidade e o vocabulário que envolve o significado e os sentidos das palavras. Mas, temos também os elementos extralinguísticos como a cultura e a ideologia. Consideramos que os elementos extralinguísticos aparecem no discurso, sobretudo, na interdiscursividade, na intertextualidade e na pressuposição do discurso da propaganda bancária. Assim esses são os artifícios linguístico-discursivos que se valem os produtores das propagandas bancárias para influenciar, argumentativamente, os leitores. E, confirma o nosso pressuposto de que é, sobretudo, o caráter ideológico do discurso propagandístico que influencia os leitores e supostos consumidores

Texto completoThis paper is a case study of the Soma mining disaster that took place on May 13, 2014. The disaster ultimately resulted in the deaths of 301 miners. To better understand how this incident was portrayed in newspaper coverage, a textual analysis of frames was conducted. In order to garner the broadest possible scope regarding the depiction of this disaster, newspapers with varying political and religious affiliations were examined. These frames were analyzed to identify elements of classical propaganda in news organizations regardless of political or religious affiliation.
Coverage from four daily newspapers (Yeni Şafak, Sabah, Cumhuriyet, and Everensel) was analyzed for frames that emphasize nationalism, Islamism, or worker-employer relations. The study found that the most commonly used elements of classical propaganda were: emotional appeals and flag waiving—or the invocation of nationally held symbols to motivate action or thought the audience would not have done on their own volition.

Texto completoEssa pesquisa questiona a noção de referencia como representação extensional dos referentes entendidos como categorias do mundo e, apoiando-se numa concepção sociocognitivo-interacional de linguagem, defende a referenciação como atividade discursiva voltada para a criação de objetos-de-discurso ancorados no contexto enunciativo e produzidos no fazer textual. O recorte teórico-metodológico proposto focaliza as estratégias de rotulação (de criação de formas nominais referenciais) as quais criam um dominio conceitual para a interpretação das informações-suporte presentes num texto-fonte, geralmente uma proposição ou uma sequência de proposições com independência enunciativa. A análise fundamenta-se num certo grau de indeterminação da linguagem e na dinâmica da (re)categorização como índice de uma estratégia discursiva em que os rótulos desempenham papel relevante tanto no encadeamento discursivo das unidades informativas dos textos quanto na organização semântico-argumentativa global do discurso. Por essa via de análise, os rótulos constituem paráfrases resumitivas com papel coesivo bem definido na superfície textual. Entretanto, a escolha da construção nominal (tanto do núcleo quanto dos determinantes) depende muito mais da interação entre os sujeitos envolvidos no processo interativo do que na relação de correferência buscada na semântica dos objetos ou dos fatos enunciados. O exame do corpus, constituído de textos opinativos presentes na mídia impressa brasileira e colhidos no período de dezembro de 2005 a dezembro de 2007, apontou para a necessidade de ultrapassar o plano das relações anafóricas e integrar o funcionamento dos rótulos num referencial dêitico-enunciativo de linguagem.
This research Discusses the notion of reference as an extentional representation of the referents seen as world categories and, based on a social-cognitive-interactional conception of the language, it also considers the referentiation as a discursive activity aimed at the creation of speech objects engaged in the enunciative context and produced in the text. The theorical-methodological frame proposed focuses on the strategies of labelling (creation of referential nominal forms) that create a conceptual field for the supporting information present in a source text, usually a proposition or a sequence of propositions which are enunciatively independent. This analysis is based on a certain degree of language indetermination and the dynamics of (re) categorization as an index of sppeech strategy in which labels have an important role in the sequence of the informative units of the text as well as in the global semantic-argumentative organization of speech. From this point of view, labelling constitutes synthetic paraphrases with a cohesive role defined on the textual surface. However, the choice of the nominal construction (of the nucleus, as well as the determinants) depends much more on the interaction between the subjects involved in the process rather than on a relation of co-reference found in the semantics of the objects or the enunciated facts. The exam of the corpus, composed of opinative texts present in the Brazilian printed midia, and selected from December 2005 to December 2007, pointed to the necessity to overcome the level of the anaphoric relations, and integrate the function of labelling in a deitic-enunciative referential of language .

Texto completoThis thesis is situated in the research area of text and discourse in oral and written modalities of the postgraduate studies program in Portuguese Language of the PUC-SP. It is based on the Critical Discourse Analysis with socio-cognitive aspects and in the Textual- Discursive Linguistic. The thesis has as theme the different forms of representation of feminine in Marina Colasanti's chronicles having as a starting point the relationship between the categories: society, cognition and discourse. The general purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the linguistic-discourse studies of feminine gender in Brazil. It has specific objectives as: 1) to identify the social roles of feminine in Marina Colasanti's chronicles; 2) to verify the opinion of the chronicler regarding the values attributed to the female; according to the social cognition; 3) to situate the feminine gender representations in the argumentative structure of the opinion of the chronicler. 4) to identify in the narrative textual sequences the way the feminine is represented. The methodological procedure used is theoretical and analytical with qualitative analysis of documentary material. This is a multidisciplinary research ranked by the cognition sciences. For a good understanding of the process of this thesis, should be mentioned the fact that it is based on the theoretical foundations of Discursive-Textual Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis with socio-cognitive aspects. The analytical categories are: society, discourse and cognition. The corpus consisted of the Marina Colasanti s chronicles that were analyzed from the themes, and their semantic progression for the representation of feminine s social roles in Brazilian society. The results indicate that female representations in Marina Colasanti s chronicles are paradoxical because confront the social cognitions (macho ideology), with the view of the chronicler (feminist ideology). To sum up, these results indicate a change in Brazilian society, in the seventies and eighties, due to the emergence of the contraceptive pill and the professionalization of women in Brazil
Esta dissertação está situada na linha de pesquisa texto e discurso nas modalidades oral e escrita do programa de estudos pós-graduados em Língua Portuguesa da PUC-SP. Está fundamentada na Análise Critica do Discurso, com vertente sociocognitiva e na Linguística Textual-Discursiva. Tem por tema as formas de representação do feminino em crônicas escritas por Marina Colasanti a partir da interrelação entre as categorias sociedade, cognição e discurso. O objetivo geral é: contribuir com os estudos linguístico-discursivos do gênero feminino no Brasil. São objetivos específicos: 1) Identificar os papéis sociais do gênero feminino em crônicas de Marina Colasanti; 2) Verificar a opinião da cronista frente os valores atribuídos ao feminino, conforme as cognições sociais; 3) Situar a representação do feminino na estrutura argumentativa da opinião da cronista; 4)Tratar das sequências narrativas e a representação do feminino. O procedimento metodológico é teórico-analítico, com análise qualitativa de material documental. Trata-se de uma pesquisa multidisciplinar hierarquizada pelas ciências da cognição. Para bem situar o processo de constituição da dissertação, parte-se das fundamentações teóricas da linguística textual discursiva e da Análise Crítica do Discurso com vertente sociocognitiva. As categorias analíticas são: sociedade, discurso e cognição. O corpus foi constituído por crônicas de Marina Colasanti analisada a partir de temas e sua progressão semântica para a representação dos papéis sociais do feminino na sociedade brasileira. Os resultados obtidos indicam que as representações do feminino em crônicas de Marina Colasanti são paradoxais, pois confrontam as cognições sociais (ideologia machista), com a opinião da cronista (ideologia feminina). Em síntese, esses resultados indicam uma mudança na sociedade brasileira, nas décadas de setenta e oitenta, decorrente do aparecimento da pílula anticoncepcional e da profissionalização da mulher, no Brasil

Texto completoInterest in the authorship of written texts is as old as writing itself. Ever since men started recording language in this way, there can be various circumstances in which the question \"Who wrote this text?\" emerges. Such a question can arise because the texts are anonymous, signed by pseudonyms or because its authorship is being disputed. More recently, knowing who wrote a particular text or set of texts has been helping to solve crimes or settle legal disputes. In these contexts, the forensic linguist stands out, working to elucidate such cases, since linguistic analysis is able to infer writing styles that relate either to a social group (sociolinguistic profiling) or to an individual (authorship attribution). This work is particularly concerned with the ideas on style proposed by Sociolinguistics and Discourse Semiotics and their relation to forensic authorship analysis. It seeks to demonstrate how the incorporation of the analysis of the content plane can assist authorship examination. Regarding sociolinguistic profiling, this work suggested that the membership in a social group proposed here as a \"discourse universe\" can be revealed through the analysis of semantic recurrence (and not only by observing linguistic variables, that is, one or more ways to say the same \"thing\"). In order to accomplish that, we analyze a set of writings from the investigation of what became known as \"Realengo Massacre\". Such an analysis indicates that the texts under scrutiny seem to have been written, if not by the same author, at least by authors within the same social group. As for authorship attribution, it is necessary to know if the features examined in semiotic analysis can really distinguish authors. Hence, we performed a quantitative study with 4 authors, wherein each author contributed with 20 texts divided into 2 groups of 10 (Author 1A, Author 1B, and so on). The hypothesis was that texts from a single author would be more similar to each other than texts from different authors, when it comes to an analysis of the content plane. The results seem to confirm the hypothesis; thus semiotic features may successfully be used in questioned authorship scenarios.

Texto completoThe main objective of this dissertation is the formulation of a framework within which counterideological discourse analysis and poststructural multiple interpretations can be systematically and reflexively applied to texts. The interest in developing a poststructural interpretive framework is based on prior work done on this subject by J.B. Thompson (1984 ;1990). Thompson's work focuses on the development of a comprehensive and integrated analytical framework for the analysis of ideology, critically defined in terms of the mobilization of meaning to sustain relations of domination. The framework has an intentionally inclusive and amoebic character which makes it adaptable to use within multiple and specific interpretive interests, while at the same time providing a broader interpretive system for reflection on these specific uses and interests. The different uses can be articulated and applied within the more general structure of the framework. This makes comparative evaluation of multiple strategies of interpretational analyses possible. The dissertation is an attempt at a test fornulation and exposition of both the specific and the general aspects of the framework.

Texto completoThis study interprets the public perceptions of feminism and gender equality in Nigeria as reflected in the media. In recent times, the issue of gender equality has been subject to numerous debates in Nigeria. My interest in this issue stems from the increased awareness of feminism and a growing feminist movement in the country. This thesis details the popular opinions on feminism found on Nigerian blogs, online newspaper columns, social media and the likes. The purpose of this research was to (1) analyze feminism as a discourse in the Nigerian society (2) identify the existing gender issues (3) contribute to the growing body of transnational feminism. The findings reveal the dynamic interplay of gender and culture. The main discourses are centered on the relevance/irrelevance of feminism and the advocacy for the girl child rights. These findings have implications for the larger discourse regarding the correlation between culture and gender equality. Furthermore, findings indicate that issues concerning gender inequality is mostly linked with the cultural expectations of the particular society.

Texto completoEsta pesquisa tem como objetivo descrever a organizaÃÃo retÃrica do gÃnero jurÃdico acÃrdÃo, bem como descrever a comunidade discursiva jurÃdica. Para isso, foram analisados 30 (trinta) acÃrdÃos oriundos de dois tribunais. A fundamentaÃÃo teÃrica està apoiada na perspectiva sÃcio-retÃrica da AnÃlise de GÃneros, particularmente nas contribuiÃÃes teÃricas de Mikhail Bakhtin (2000) e John M. Swales (1990; 1992). A metodologia adotada foi pautada nos procedimentos metodolÃgicos postulados por Vijay Bathia (1993), que divididos em trÃs etapas proporcionou, primeiro, a coleta e a delimitaÃÃo do corpus; em segundo, o desenvolvimento propriamente dito da pesquisa, e por Ãltimo, a apresentaÃÃo dos resultados. Os resultados da anÃlise do corpus revelou que o gÃnero jurÃdico acÃrdÃo possui cinco unidades retÃricas bÃsicas constituÃdas de 18 (dezoito) subunidades. A saber, unidade retÃrica 1 â IdentificaÃÃo das partes; unidade retÃrica 2 â SumÃrio do conteÃdo; unidade retÃrica 3 â Relato dos motivos do autor; unidade retÃrica 4 â Justificativa da posiÃÃo do colegiado; unidade retÃrica 5 â Encerramento da sentenÃa. Da anÃlise da comunidade discursiva jurÃdica, concluiu-se que: a) os operadores do Direito sÃo verdadeiros membros constituintes da comunidade analisada; b) Que o gÃnero jurÃdico acÃrdÃo à elaborado por operadores especialista da comunidade. Conclui-se que a aplicaÃÃo de uma anÃlise baseada nos pressupostos da AnÃlise de GÃneros aqui citados, apresenta-se como uma abordagem bastante produtiva para estudos que versem sobre a interdisciplinaridade LingÃÃstica/ Direito.
This research aims at presenting a description of the rethorical organization of the juridic genre acÃrdÃo. It also aims at makig a description of the juridic discourse community. In order to accomplish such goals, 30 acÃrdÃos from two different courthouses were analysed. The theorical presuppositions of the Genre Analysis, especifically the theories of Mikhail Bakhtin (2000) and John M. Swales 1990/ 1992) gave the research the necessary support. To implement the analyses, the methodological procedings of Vijay Bathia (1993) were used. These were divided in three blocks. First, it was obseved the selection and delimitation of the corpus; second, development of the research, and finally the presentation of the results. The results of the aalyses performed on corpus shows that the juridic genre acÃrdÃo has five rethorical units and eighteen rethorical subunits. The rethorical units are: The identification of the parts â Unit 1; The summary of the subject â Unit 2; The reasons of the author â Unit 3; The position of the group â Unit 4; the end of the sentence â Unit 5. The evidence emerging from the analysis suggests that: a) the real members of the juridic community are the justice operators; b) the juridic genre acÃrdÃo is made by expert operators of the community. We conclude that the analysis based in the pressupositions of Genre Analysis may be quite productive in the studies which explore the interdisciplinarity between Linguistics and Law.

Texto completoThis study investigates the ways in which former South African Police (SAP) perpetrators of human rights violations justify their criminal actions in testifying before the Amnesty Committee (AC) of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). In particular, attention goes to the testimonies of former Commissioner of Police Johan van der Merwe, and former member of the Security Branch section of the SAP, Jeffrey Benzien. A key assumption in the study is that the justification of human rights violations is a discursive practice that is largely language dependent (Reisigl & Wodak 200: xi). The research draws on the theoretical aims and methods of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). It refers largely to Benke and Wodak’s (2003) discourse–historical study on the justificatory discourse of ex-Wehrmacht officers of the Austrian army. This study therefore takes a discourse-historical approach to discourse and the data, an approach which takes into consideration the surrounding political and historical context of the selected texts, which are, in this case, the testimonies of perpetrators at the AC hearings. Besides an analysis of the justificatory discourses produced by two former police officers, the study reflects on how the discursive strategies of the apartheid perpetrators compare with one another and with the ex- Wehrmacht officers. CDA and the discourse-historical approach provide interdisciplinary angles on linguistic analysis of a text. For this reason, a review is given of literature which relates the study to political, historical and philosophical insights. The analysis particularly makes use of Foster et al.’s (2005) socio-political study of apartheid perpetrator narratives. The study reveals that perpetrators used a fixed set of justificatory discursive strategies to talk about human rights violations, and their role in such violations. These linguistic strategies are used for a number of different reasons, including reducing personal responsibility, avoiding talking about past atrocities, saving face where personal malicious and degenerate behaviour is made public and diverting feelings of personal guilt. On a discourse theoretical level the study eventually convinces that there are generic strategies typically used in justificatory discourse, whether it be in response to Wehrmacht atrocities of the Second World War or to security force excesses in repressing aspirations of disenfranchised citizens during the last thirty years of the Nationalist government in South Africa. Some stories don’t want to be told. They walk away, carrying their suitcases held together with grey string. Look at their disappearing curved spines. Hunch-backs. Harmed ones. Hold alls. Some stories refuse to be danced or mimed, drop their scuffed canes and clattering tap-shoes, erase their traces in nursery rhymes or ancient games like blind man’s bluff.

Texto completoThis study examines tendencies of cultural rebellion by focusing on entertainment that engages with Afrikaner tradition. Examples from music, student films and autobiographies are used to illustrate that artists reclaim signifiers of their cultural heritage in performances of rebellion. New myths are appearing that seem to fulfill a young generation's need for a history outside of apartheid. It is suggested that these myths assist Afrikaners who feel alienated in post-apartheid South Africa to foster a sense of legitimacy and belonging. It will argue that countercultural thinking plays a major role in the discourse of rebellion. Research is conducted within the framework of communication and cultural studies. Popular texts are considered to constitute discourses that formulate and reproduce ideologies. An analysis of Afrikaner and countercultural discourse is conducted by means of texts. The creative output of rebellious Afrikaners is used to illustrate the manifestation of countercultural ideology in entertainment. Examples of the work of Andre P. Brink, Fokofpolisiekar, Karen Zoid, Koos Kombuis, Johan Nel, Bok van Blerk, Anton Kannemeyer and Jack Parow are analysed in order to highlight common features. Despite being positioned on different sides of the political spectrum, countercultural and Afrikaner ideology share similar values. Research on their history demonstrates that oppositional identity formation and the need for distinction were central to their development. This study also shows that rebellion and distinction are central to the development of trends in popular culture. The findings of this research provide some guidance to those interested in maintaining the relevance of Afrikaans language and culture. The discussion of the inner workings of style, taste and popularity may also have implications for strategies in the creative arts. Afrikaner cultural rebellion as a case study is thus relevant in terms of its success in the field of entertainment and as the product of a society in transition.
