Alternância de códigos em narrativas orais do povo Parkatêjê: aspectos linguísticos do contato com o português
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-09-28) NEVES, Cinthia de Lima; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
“Irregular mixture of two distinct systems” (Labov, 1971, p. 457). This afirmation reflects what has been thought for decades about a linguistic behavior common in bilingual speakers: code-switching. This phenomenon, characterized by the change from one language to another without any change of topic or speaker, is, however, systematically organized and is subject to grammatical constraints, occurring at specific points and repeated in sentences, it is not random. One of the commonly used theoretical models to account for the grammaticality of code-switching has been proposed by Poplack (1978/1881), which suggests two constraints on the phenomenon: the “free morpheme constraint”, whereby the switch can occur after any constituent unless it is a fixed morpheme, and the “equivalence constraint”, which predicts the occurrence at points where the elements of both languages are equivalent, so there is no violation of syntactic rules of languages involved. This study presents the application of this model to a descriptive analysis of code-switching between Portuguese and Parkatêjê, a Timbira language spoken in southeastern of Pará. The data that support this study are traditional stories of the people, collected between the years 2008 and 2011, in which we can find many instances of the phenomenon.

Aspectos morfossintáticos e semânticos da causativização em Parkatêjê
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-02-27) FERREIRA, Sindy Rayane de Souza; SHIBATANI, Masayoshi; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
Under the view of typological functionalism, the objective of this work is to describe and analyze morphosyntactic and semantic aspects related to the phenomenon of causativization in Parkatêjê (Indigenous language of the Jê family, Macro-Jê stock, and grouped in the Timbira dialect complex). From the morphosyntactic perspective, the causativization is a process related to the increase of verbal valence, that is, to the change of functions and grammatical relations of the arguments of a verb. From the semantic perspective, it consists of a phenomenon associated with the relation of cause and effect, in which a causative verb allows the subject of a sentence to act on another argument, causing it to perform some action or change its state. In the Parkatêjê language, causativization is manifested through the verb to, whose primary meaning is 'to do' and which affects active and stative intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs do not seem to be affected by causativization. The work is based on the theoretical postulates of Givón (1975), Shibatani (1976, 2002), Comrie (1989), Dixon (1994), among others. In addition to being a causative verb, the 'to' element performs other morphosyntactic functions in the language: basic lexical verb 'to do', auxiliary verb, part of verbs root and instrumental postposition. For this reason, this work also presents some aspects related to each of these functions. The methodology used in this work consisted of bibliographical research and field research with data collection performed in the community of the language being studied.

Aspectos semânticos, morfológicos e morfossintáticos das palavras descritivas Apurinã
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-03-16) CHAGAS, Angela Fabíola Alves; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
It presents semantic, morphossyntactic and morphological aspects of the descriptive words of the Apurinã language (Aruákan), that is, words that commonly are translated as adjectives in the European languages. Some of those words receive the mark of pronominal subject (e.g. u-natxitapeka 'she is hungry'); while others receive the objective mark (e.g. ere-ru 'she is beautiful'); and other ones can receive either subjective and objective markers (e.g. ny-pĩkareta eu estou com medo vs. papĩkare-nu eu sou medroso). The first think treated was about the place of the descriptive words in the Apurinã parts of the speech (are they names, are they verbs or do they form an independent class from these?). Using internal evidences of the language, initially we have established a grammatical classification for those words starting from their morphological properties in comparison with the names and verbs in the language, with the purpose of answer these questions. The second think is on the semantic correlates of the descriptive words. Considering the intern division of the Apurinã descriptive words (subjective vs. lenses), we presented the semantic properties associated to each group and, starting from that, we presented an attempt of motivating the sub grouping of descriptive concepts in the language with base in the aspectual notions of transitoriness and permanence. Finally, the described grammatical phenomenon is contextualized inside of the typology of systems of split intransitivity described for other languages (PAYNE: 1997), and the description of their semantic properties is located in relation to the typology of lexical aspects or aktionsarten (COMRIE: 1976, FRAWLEY: 1992).

A contribuição da linguística textual e da teoria da relevância para o processo de inferenciação em textos publicitários
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005-06-04) NASCIMENTO, Rosana Carmen Pinto do; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
This work presents a descriptive analysis based in a corpus constituted by 50 publicity texts, which main objective is to verify how cognitives strategies are processed, since they are crucial to the textual understanding and also to the meaning elaboration, here in narrow sense named inference. As communicative human activities come from ways which are intregatives and unseparated: the emissor, the text and receptor, this work tries to establish the role of each one of those elements plays to inference, based in the theoretical frames of two Linguistics branches: 1) Textual Linguistics which takes the text in detail to enfatize what cognitive activities are used, as inference; 2)Pragmatics, which comes along to Textual Linguistics, with special attention to the Relevance: Communication and cognition of Sperber and Wilson (1986), searching for relevant considerations about the way the information is represented in the mind as well how it is inferencially processed.

Descrição de orações complexas em Parkatejê: coordenação e switch-reference
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-06-21) VIEIRA, Luciana Renata dos Santos; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
The Parkatêjê indigenous language, belonging to the Macro-Jê, the Jê family and the Timbira dialect complex, is spoken by the Parkatêjê people, who live in the Mãe Maria Indigenous Reserve (MMIR) in the city of Marabá, south of Pará. The process of articulating coordinated sentences of the language in question was initially described by Ferreira (2003), which verified the switch-reference mechanism by means of the occurrence of two specific conjunctions nã and mã, one for the identical subject (SS) and the other for the co-ordinated sentence of the language in question different subject (DS), respectively. This dissertation describes the coordination between nominal and verbal phrases in Parkatêjê and points to some facts about the language: (1) it is confirmed that the language presents switch-reference (FERREIRA, 2003); (2) it is confirmed that a homophone form a mẽ occurs as a conjunction to coordinate noun phrases and names in series (FERREIRA, 2003); (3) the occurrence of the nã/mã conjunction of the switch-reference phenomenon does not seem to be mandatory, according to the data analysis, that is, the juxtaposition mechanism (parataxis) is also used. The methodological contribution for the development of this research followed steps like bibliographic research, fieldwork, transcription and organization of linguistic data and analysis / discussion of the data collected.

Descrição e análise de propriedades semânticas e morfossintáticas de nomes contáveis nomes massivos em Parkatêjê
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-28) LIRA, Ingryd Moraes de Moraes; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9995-1938
This work aims to describe the behavior of countable and mass nouns in Parkatêjê, language spoken by the Parkatêjê indigenous people who live in communities situated along the BR-222, in Bom Jesus do Tocantins County, in Pará state. In agreement with Rodrigues (1986), this language belongs to Timbira Dialetal Complex, Jê family, macro linguistic Jê stock. Many studies have shown that the majority of languages have two distinct groups of nouns: countable and mass. According to Paraguassu-Martins and Muller (2007), Jespersen (1924) paper was the first work in linguistics about this topic. To this author, countable names are the ones which convey an idea of something defined, with a clearly defined shape and precise limits, while mass nouns do not present these characteristics, regardless of being concrete or abstract. However, to establishing some concepts and criteria for the count/mass distinction is still being a major challenge for those who work with analysis and description of natural languages considering the significant variation between them, even those which are relatively similar. To bring out this study in Parkatêjê language, the author has done data collection with native speakers of this indigenous community. The methodology was based on Lima (2014), on her work about counting and individuation in Yudja and also on the questionnaire elaborated by Lima and Rothstein. The results obtained show which countable and massive nouns present distinguished morphosyntax aspects. It was verified which quantity expressions, in the majority, works as distinct proprieties in this nominal class. Countable nouns are combined directly with numerals without the necessity of a measure phrase. Mass nouns are combined with numerals in those circumstances: 1) when there is some insertion of a measure phrase between the name and the numeral; and 2) when there is no insertion of a measure phrase, although this one will be implied in the context. There are quantifiers used with all the nouns, but there are some others that occur specifically with countable nouns and others only with massive nouns. The behavior of these nouns in Parkatêjê which were observed is similar to the behavior of the languages which have number marking, which converges in part with what was proposed by Chierchia (1998a, 1998b, 2010 apud LIMA, 2014) about language types, given that it has both features from number-marking languages and features from languages that are numerically neutral.

Esboço sociolinguístico sobre risco de perda e manutenção de línguas: o caso de cinco línguas indígenas brasileiras
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-02-28) FRANCO, Danielle Abreu; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
This study presents the macro variables that evidence the threatening situation and vitality loss of Anambé, Aikanã, Apurinã, Parkatêjê and Xipaya languages in consequence of the Portuguese language domain. To make it possible, necessary methodological procedures were used for a bibliographic, theory-focused approach about the causes that motivate the linguistic change, based in the sociolinguistic variables presented by Edward (1992), Grenoble & Whaley (1998, 2000) and in the criteria that evaluate the vitality of languages pointed by UNESCO (2003). From the information collected in interviews with researchers of the selected languages, we aim to: i) identify what macro variables act on the de-vitalization process of these languages; ii) classify these languages about their vitality degree, considering the established criteria in 2003 by the United Nations for the Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO); and iii) outline, based in the answers given by the interviewed researchers, the sociolinguistic situation of each studied language. An exam of the macro variables (use of the languages, schooling and migration) identified after analysis of the selected indigenous languages pointed out aspects that concern their linguistic loss situation.

Estudo comparativo das posposições no Timbira
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-08-24) AYAN, Sheyla da Conceição; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9995-1938
This work aims to compare similarities and differences in the occurrence of postpositions in the group of Timbira dialectal variants: Parkatêjê, Canela Apãniekrá, Canela-Krahô and Pykobjê, under a typological-functional view. The Timbira dialectal complex belongs to the Jê family and to the Macro-Jê stock. For Genetti (2014) postpositions are particles that occur with a noun phrase and indicate the grammatical, semantic, spatial, temporal or logical relationship of the noun phrase with the other element of the clause. The data used in this study come from descriptive works already carried out in these dialectal variants, namely: Ferreira (2003), Alves (2004), Popjes and Popjes (1986), Souza (1989), Miranda (2014), Amado (2004) and Silva (2011). Based on the comparison of data, a great similarity in the form of these elements was noted, as well as in the functions performed by such postpositions. On the other hand, there are also some very relevant differences between them, such as the postposition 'te', for example, which was analyzed sometimes as a marker of ergativity, sometimes as an oblique element, in addition to the genitive function. This research is based on the theoretical postulates of Genetti (2014), Dixon (2010), Hagège (2010), Blake (2004), Payne (1997), among others. The methodology used in this work consisted of bibliographical research in the specialized literature, comparison of data and analysis of typological-functional basis.

This dissertation deepens the study about the class of descriptives in Parkatêjê and has as principal objective the refinement of the evidences than confirming the verbal status these lexical items. The Parkatêjê is a Timbira language belonging to the Macro-Jê linguistic stock; the speakers living in villages located at Bom Jesus do Tocantins, next to Marabá, in Pará State Southeast. In Parkatêjê, the descriptives present morphosyntactic properties similar to names and verbs and, semantically, express notions usually manifest by adjectives, in languages that present that class of words. As a result, from a functional-typological perspective, initially presents a discussion, based on studies such as Givón (1984), Dixon (1982), Bhat (1994), Thompson (1988) and Schachter (1985), about the names, adjectives and verbs, considering the various natural languages. Then, approaches the main features of these word classes in Parkatêjê language, based in Araújo (1989) and Ferreira (2003). In addition, expose the hypothesis of possible classification for the descriptives, for, then, to present the proposal of analysis this dissertation. This considers, principally, the morphosyntactic aspects inherents in descriptives, such as the time particles group, aspect and mode that may occur. In this way, the present study show evidences as to the fact of the descriptives lexicals items are considered intransitives verbs.

Onomástica em ParkatêJê: um estudo morfossintático e semântico sobre os nomes próprios
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-02-23) LOPES, Tereza Tayná Coutinho; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
This work aims at introducing linguistic and cultural issues related to the onomastic system from Parkatêjê people, also known in specialized literature as Gavião do Pará. Currently, the referred people live in villages at the Indian reserve Mãe Maria (RIMM), in the surroundings of Marabá town. The Parkatêjê language, named as its own community, belongs to the Complexo Dialetal Timbira, Macro-jê stock and, such as it is common to the Timbira people, it displays elaborated systems of nomination. The study of the proper names from different typologies is the central interest of the discipline named Onomastic, being anthroponymy, in other words, the study of personal proper names, the field of Onomastics is the focus of this work. Initially, after some general considerations about the Parkatêjê people, this work carried out a review of the studies on onomastics based on the perspective of authors like Dick (1996; 1997; 1999; 2000; 2001), Lyons (1977), Ullmann (1964), Seabra (2006), Carvalhinhos (2007), among others. Then, it was introduced a general overview about the nomination system of Timbira languages, based mainly on Coelho de Souza (2002), Nimuendajú (1946), Melatti (1938), Arnaud (1964) e Carneiro de Cunha (1986). Therefore, it was exhibited several morphosyntactic and semantic aspects verified in proper names of the Parkatêjê language. In regard to the morphosyntactic characteristics the works from Araújo (1989), Ferreira (2003), Booij (2007) and Diniz (2010) they were the main theoretical subsidies, while in concern of the semantic issues it was utilized assumptions of the Cultural Semantics and Cognitive Semantics to undertake the analysis carried out which are unpublished in the present dissertation. The Methodology used throughout this work was made through bibliography research, moreover of ethnographic research with data assortment carried out on the languages‘ community in study.

Processos de formação de sinais: um estudo sobre derivação e incorporação nominal na Língua Brasileira de Sinais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-03-29) ABREU, Walber Gonçalves de; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) linguistic studies started from Ferreira-Brito research in 1995. Although there are a social development and a popularization of Libras, in the sense of being more known now a days, this language is not very well described yet. This dissertation intends to describe morphological aspects on the sign formation considering derivational and nominal incorporation (NI) processes. Derivation has been studied by different researchers in different sign languages. The root sign is changed by the addition of at least one parameter to the original sign (QUADROS e KARNOPP, 2004; JOHNSTON, 2006; FELIPE, 2006; XAVIER e NEVES, 2016; PFAU, 2016). That parameter can be understood as a grammatical morpheme (bound or free) which is added simultaneously or sequentially to the root. The NI is seen as the association of the verb and its argument inside the syntactic structure (MITHUN, 1984; ROSEN, 1989; MEIR, 1999; FERREIRA, 2013). Both processes create a new sign. The collected data are form the ENEM 2017 video test in Libras (45 videos). Those signs were described and distributed in descriptive table referring each kind of derivation. To study the nominal incorporation, the data came from Libras dictionary (CAPOVILLA ET AL., 2017) and from videos made according to a field research conducted by the author of this dissertation. All signs were analyzed qualitatively. Results demonstrate two kinds of derivation in Libras: (i) infixal derivation marked by the movement parameter (MOV) (directional derivation of MOV, dynamic derivation of the MOV and reduplication of MOV) and by the productivity of the base morpheme TEXT and (ii) sufixal derivation, made by negative markers -PRONATION OF FOREARM, plus two affixe markers possibly under grammaticalization, -ZERO marker and agentive marker. In NI two groups of verbs were described. Both undergo argument incorporation: manual and simple verbs. Those verbs present compound NI and classifier NI. Manual verbs tend to show cases of double incorporation – object and adjunct can be enrolled by the verb. In conclusion it is possible to say: (i) derivation and NI are productive in Libras; (ii) infixes are more recurrent to form new lexical items in Libras; (iii) Libras verbs tend to incorporate arguments which function as an adjunct in the sentence as instruments.

This work named Revisitando os Verbos em Parkatêjê: questões relevantes para um estudo morfossintático aims to show some of the principal characteristics of verbs in Parkatêjê language. Parkatêjê community lives in Km 30 of BR-222 highway, in Mãe Maria Village, Bom Jesus do Tocantins. This study was made up through bibliographical research, having as foundation Ferreira (2003), including her own data and data of Araújo (in different moments of her study). This theme was chosen because there is few linguistic descriptive works about Parkatêjê language. In a first moment, it will be presented some definitions about verb, according to Payne (1997), Lyons (1979), Schachter (1985), Lehmann (1981) and Givón (1984); after that, according to Rodrigues (1999) and Ribeiro (2006), the principal characteristics of Macro-Jê languages will be showed. The main characteristics of Parkatêjê language, according to Ferreira (2003), will be presented, with special attention to verbs.

Socioterminologia de plantas medicinais em Parkatêjê
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-02-23) REIS, Jaqueline de Andrade; BRANDÃO, Ana Paula Barros; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5565558385115699; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
The present work consists of the study of the medicinal plants terminology used in the production of medicines for treatment and cure of diseases by the Indians of the Parkatêjê Community located in the Mãe Maria Indigenous Land, at kilometer 30 of the BR 222 highway in Bom Jesus do Tocantins, in the southeastern of Pará state. The main objective of this research is to elaborate a semi-bilingual glossary, in its printed version, about the specialized terms of medicinal plants that emerge from the speech of the shaman, considered an expert in indigenous health, according to Athias (2015). Among the specific objectives, we sought to describe and analyze the morphological aspects of these specialized terms based on Ferreira (2003). The work is guided by the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Socioterminology in the light of Gaudin’s (1993, 2003) and Faulstich’s (1995a, 1998, 1999, 2006, 2010a, 2010b, 2012, 2014) ideas; As an approached support, the research is based on Cultural Terminology (TC), postulated by Diki-Kidire (2002, 2007, 2009). We understand that these theories are adequate to the elaboration of the glossary proposed here, considering the specificities of the Parkatêjê language. The choice of the semantic field of medicinal plants is justified by the social and cultural importance of such practice of their usage, which is constituted in societies, guided by oral tradition, such as Parkatêjê, and should therefore be analyzed, but also described and documented for the purpose of contributing to the strengthening and preservation of the traditional language. Data collection was carried out in the indigenous community, mentioned previously, through interviews with the pajé and other research collaborators. For the organization and treatment of the data, we use Flex software; For the preparation of the glossary, we use the Lexique Pro software. The glossary contains 111 entries, which are presented in alphabetical order, some of which are accompanied by illustrations. We hope that this terminological work will be useful for future research in this area, and may also contribute to the preservation of the cultural and linguistic knowledge of the Parkatêjê.

A tradição oral no ensino de línguas indígenas: uma proposta para o povo Parkatêjê
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-02-26) SILVA, Maria de Nazaré Moraes da; FERREIRA, Marília de Nazaré de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4291543797221091
The aim of this study is to “present a teaching proposal for parkatêjê language which is supported in the oral tradition of the people of the same name. It has a view to its implementation in Indigenous School Pẽmptykre Parkatêjê” from the village Parkatêjê. This village is located in Mãe Maria, kilometer 30 of BR 222 in Bom Jesus do Tocantins County. For comprehend the everyday process of teaching and learning in the school, this is an ethnographic research, and it’s also bibliographic considering the nature of the sources used to write it (SEVERINO, 2007). According to Moita-Lopes (2006), the research is related to Applied Linguistics which is characterized as an indisciplinary or a transdisciplinary. Besides it is based on cognitive democracy for a liberating education (PETRAGLIA, 2013). This study is divided into four chapters with introduction and conclusion. The first chapter presents general considerations about Parkatêjê. The second one deals with a historical approach on the development of Indigenous language in the Brazilian educational context. This approach is based on observed events from 1540 to the present days. The third chapter brings some features from ruled society by oral tradition, or specially through this tradition. Moreover, this chapter brings a definition of culture and presents reflections about oral and written culture. The last one deals with the history of formal education in Parkatêjê village. This section also discusses pieces of information about the role of the people of the same name at the Indigenous School Pẽmptykre Parkatêjê nowadays. In addition to this, “The oral tradition into Parkatêjê language teaching”, the teaching proposal, is presented in this chapter. This proposal is based on Queiroz and Pereira (2013), Belintane (2007; 2008), Calvet (2011), and it is carried out by other researchers who are in favor of the oral language teaching. This research highlights the eldest people of the village, the first-generation Indians, as important actors in the teaching and learning of traditional language in formal education process.
