O aconselhamento linguageiro na autonomização de aprendentes surdos no processo apropriação da Língua Portuguesa sob a ótica da complexidade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08-15) CRUZ, Eder Barbosa; SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6129530461830312
Language advising (LA) is a modality of accompanying language learners, which aims at leading them to a reflection on their own learning in order to make them more autonomous. Mynard (2012) presents a model for LA based on three interconnected axes: dialogue, tools and context. Magno e Silva, Sá e Matos and Rabelo (2015) sought in the theoretical contribution of the Complexity Paradigm the subsidies to show that LA in the model of Mynard (2012) benefits from an approach with the Complex Adaptive Systems Theory (MORIN, 2010, LARSEN-FREEMAN and CAMERON 2008). This dissertation follows the framework of the expansion of this model of LA to meet deaf learners of Portuguese language and who communicate through a language modulated in the visual-spatial context. Thus, our purpose is to investigate LA as an autonomy nurturing of deaf students in the Portuguese acquisition process. To this end, we carried out this case study with seventh year deaf learners of a public school in Belém, Pará. For the data collection, advising sessions with deaf Portuguese learners were filmed. The results showed that the Dialogue, Tools and Context Model for LA (MYNARD, 2012), in its understanding as a complex adaptive system (MAGNO E SILVA; SÁ AND MATOS; RABELO, 2015), if rethought, considering the specificities of Deaf learners and their sign language, can favor the practice of advising with these learners, foster their autonomy and improve their learning of Portuguese.

Análise perceptual da harmonia vocálica na fala Belenense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-08-29) XAVIER, Francisco Cavalcante; CRUZ, Regina Célia Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3307472469778577
The present work aims to investigate, perceptually, the productivity of vowel harmony (VH) triggered by low vowels in the variety of Portuguese spoken in Belém, PA (Brazil). To this goal, a corpus was formed with 42 paroxytone words, mostly in the CV'CV.CV syllabic mold, in which /e/ and /o/ alternate in the pretonic syllable and /i, e, ɛ, a, ᴐ, o, u/, in the tonic syllable. Using the Wideo Text-to-Speech Software converter, three variants were generated as sound stimuli for each item in the corpus, according to the height of the pretonic vowel: for , [i], [e ], [E]; for , [u], [o], [O]. A sample of 60 Belenenses (people from Belém), stratified by gender, age group and education, responded to a questionnaire implemented on the Gorilla Experiment BuilderTM platform, version 4, with two data collection protocols: I - Frequency Assessment (FA); II - Identification Assessment (IA). For the FA, the main protocol, participants attributed to the variants of , an approximate frequency of occurrence/use in Belenense speech, based on the following scalar indexes: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Almost always. In the IA, the participants’ assessment was taken to identify the three variants as, in fact, different. For the statistical treatment of the 10,080 data collected, Simple Correlation and Binary Logistic Regression analyzes were applied, using the R Program, version 2024.04.1. Taking , as dependent variables and the seven stressed vowels as independent ones, the results revealed that, in Belém's speech, in general, based on the choice of the full occurrence index, Almost always: (a) the high variants are the least frequent – [i], with a relative frequency of .13 and [u], with .20; (b) the medium variants are largely predominant, adjusting relatively well to all stressed vowels – [e], .77 and [o], .75; (c) the low variants are in second place as most frequent – [E], .43 and [O], .41 –, but, strongly attracted by low stressed vowels, they take the hegemony of the mids in this structural context – [E] , .82; [O], .78. Finally, for the external factors: (a) older speakers highlighted the hegemony of VH – [E], .83; [O], .83; (b) younger speakers attenuated it – [E], .72; [O], .65; c) individuals trained in the research area had higher discrimination rates between the three variants in IA – , .89; , .87. In this view, in the perceptual field, a phonological rule of HV triggered by low vowels was attested in full operation in Belém speech, as acoustic studies had already pointed out (Sousa, 2010; Fagundes, 2015; Souza, 2020). The phenomenon proved to be productive with all low vowels in stressed syllables, both on and , contradicting, at this specific point, the acoustic signal (Souza, 2020).

Aprendizagem de Língua Inglesa mediada por sítios: uma atividade promovida em um centro de autoacesso
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-01-30) BORGES, Kleiton de Sousa; SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6129530461830312
The Applied Linguistics (AL) studies in the area of teaching and learning languages have been conducted in an interdisciplinary way. One of the themes of these studies is the research on autonomy in language learning in order to understand how this process is instigated in learners from diverse learning situations. New technologies, as Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are tools that can stimulate the development of this autonomy. These tools are present in educational institutions and in the daily life of teachers and students, enabling learning of a foreign language (FL) in an effective way (LEFFA, 2006; OLIVEIRA, 2012; ANDRADE, 2014; ARAÚJO, 2017). ICT is also used in self-access centers (SAC) in order to foster the autonomous studies of language learners in these spaces (GARDNER; MILLER, 1999; BARRS, 2010; MAGNO E SILVA, 2014; MYNARD, 2016). This work aimed to understand in what ways the activities mediated by computers, through sites, could influence the English language learning of students who attend and participate in activities at Base de Apoio à Aprendizagem Autônoma (BA3), a self-access center located at the Faculdade de Letras Estrangeiras Modernas (FALEM) of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). A case study was conducted employing a quanti-qualitative approach with observation and application of on-line questionnaires. The results showed that English language learning sites influenced positively the development of participants' autonomy, since they began to use these sites on their own to practice by listening, reading and speaking English. It was also found that the good layout and the types of activities of these sites were important items which led learners to use them.

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 motivacionais de aprendentes de Língua inglesa: um estudo de caso sob a perspectiva sociodinâmica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-07-13) CARVALHO, Luiza Moreno; MAGNO E SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6129530461830312
Studies in the field of language teaching and learning point to motivation as an important factor for success in learning, since it constitutes the driving force of the learner during the long process of learning. Motivation has increasingly been characterized as a dynamic and complex phenomenon, which involves, among other aspects, the individual’s view of the self as a learner and as a speaker of the target language. With this in view, this research aims to investigate the relationship between the learner's view of his L2 self and the influence of motivational agents in the emergence of possible selves within their L2 motivational self system. In order to do so, this work was based on the theoretical framework of the socio-dynamic phase of motivational studies, such as the relational view of motivation, self and context (USHIODA, 2009), the L2 Motivational Self System (DÖRNYEI, 2009) and the view of motivation as a complex dynamic system (HENRY, 2015). The theories of the socio-dynamic phase offer a new perspective of investigation and analysis of the motivation in a systemic view, which emphasizes the multifaceted character of this construct. A qualitative interpretative longitudinal research was conducted in the form of a case study carried out over eight months. Ten undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism of the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), in Belém, were investigated. Data were generated through learning narratives, open and closed questionnaires, and interviews. Each instrument used consisted in one of the phases of this study. Results present evidence of the influence of four groups of motivational agents, namely teachers, family, friends and classmates, on the dynamics of learners’ possible selves. Among the dynamic processes observed, there were changes in elaboration and vividness of image of the ideal self, as well as in its availability and accessibility; and changes triggered by the interaction with other self-concepts. The main sub-processes observed were social comparison (characteristics of motivational agents the learner would like to have), changes in learners’ selfperception, self-assessment and reinterpretation/re-signification of past and ongoing learning experiences. The agents influenced learners’ L2 motivational self system either by triggering changes in the image of the ideal self or by activating it, as well as by bringing up the responsibilities and commitments held by the ought-to self image.

Autorreflexão para uma consciência do clima relacional em sala de aula: estudo de caso com professores de Língua estrangeira
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-02-18) LÓPEZ, Catalina Henao; CARRERA, Carlos Cernanda; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2845269847553868; SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6129530461830312; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2845269847553868
This work aims to investigate teacher self-reflection as a way to raise awareness among foreign language teachers about the influence of social-emotional climate on learning. To this end, an instrument called the Self-Reflection Guide for Foreign Language Teachers was elaborated and given to participating teachers. Reading the guide led them to reflect on their own practice. The theoretical foundations of the research are based on studies of self-reflection in teaching, such as those conducted by Dewey (1933), Carr and Kemmis (1986), Zwozdiak-Myers (2011, 2018), among others, as well as in studies on relationship climate as a facilitator of learning (ABREU; MASETTO, 1985; ROGERS, 1996; ARNOLD, 2005). The objective of the research was to understand the influence of self-reflection on the teacher's consciousness about relationship climate, raised by the guide. The research method used was the case study, used to analyze and interpret the phenomenon studied within its real context. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire with the answers of which it was possible to understand the reflective behavior of the participating teachers and to identify the effect of the guide on their perceptions and practices. Finally, it was observed that the use of the guide led teachers to rethink their behavior and actions in the classroom in order to potentialize the abilities of their students. In the end, it is pointed out the importance of continuing to provide reflective practices to foreign language teachers as a strategy to foster continued education and improve teacher quality.

Avaliação em obras didáticas de língua portuguesa : regulação no ensino e na aprendizagem da escrita?
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-08-22) BAHIA, Emídio Júnior Santos; CUNHA, Myriam Crestian Chaves da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0057919162522146
Ce mémoire analyse la function de l’évaluation dans les activités relatives à l’enseignement et à l’apprentissage de l’écriture dans les manuels scolaires de Portugais – Langue Maternalle, car les documents de référence pour l’enseignement des langues au Brésil indiquent que les ressources d’évaluation dans les manuels doivent être alignées sur les objectifs suivants : perspective de l'évaluation formative cognitive, dont la fonction est la régulation de l'apprentissage. Pour ce faire, nous discutons des conceptions liées aux axes de ce travail : évaluation, écriture et manuel scolaire. Dans l’axe «évaluation», nous abordons les concepts de régulation de l’apprentissage (ALLAL, 1984/1988, HADJI, 2011, PERRENOUD, 1999) et de l’autorégulation de l’apprentissage (HADJI, 2011, PANADERO; ALONSO-TAPIA, 2014a, ZIMMERMAN; MOYLAN, 2009), concepts de base de l'évaluation formative cognitive. Dans l'axe «écriture», nous abordons les modèles théoriques de cette activité dans le contexte scolaire (CHABANNE; BUCHETON, 2002), les concepts d'évaluation de l'écriture dans les documents de référence (BRASIL, 1998a, 2013, 2016), ainsi que le modèle d'écriture suggéré par les paramètres nationaux du curriculum (BRASIL, 1998a), qui présente des similitudes avec le modèle de Hayes et Flower (1980). Dans l'axe «manuel scolaire», nous traitons des concepts d’ «oeuvre didactique» (BRASIL, 2015, 2015a), de «manuel didactique» (BATISTA, 2003), et nous situons le dispositif didactique comme un instrument didactique de régulation de l'écriture (WEISSER, 2010). Nous discutons en outre de ses fonctions essentielles (CHOPPIN, 2004), en accordant une attention particulière aux fonctions référentielle et instrumentale, qui s’alignent respectivement dans la perspective de la transposition didactique du contenu (CHEVALLARD, 1991) et dans la perspective de la médiation et de l’aide à l’intervention (HALTÉ, 1992 ; CUNHA; CUNHA, 2011). Sur la base de cette réflexion, nous avons examiné trois manuels scolaires: «Português - linguagens», «Projeto Teláres - português» et «Para viver juntos - português»; à travers une analyse avec des catégories de contenu, basée sur les variables d’évaluation (HADJI, 1994), en se concentrant sur les propositions d’évaluation des manuels de l’enseignant et sur les projets didactiques-évaluatifs des manuels de l’élève qui constituent le corpus. Et pour cela, nous utilisons la méthode d'interprétation des données, conformément aux directives de Moita Lopes (1994). Les résultats ont montré que deux des manuels scolaires les plus acquis du PNLD présentent une proposition d'évaluation de l'apprentissage alignée sur la perspective de l'évaluation formative néo-behavioriste (BLOOM et al., [1971] 1983), dont la fonction est la correction de l'enseignement et non de régulation de l'apprentissage. l’apprentissage continu, et l’un des travaux n’a même pas soumis de proposition d’évaluation. De plus, ils ont montré que les projets didactiques-évaluatifs des livres de l'élève suivent la même perspective, à l'exception d'un travail qui présentait un projet didactique-évaluatif dans le prisme de la régulation de l'apprentissage en cours. Cependant, ce travail était le troisième plus acquis, ce qui montre également que la plupart des travaux didactiques en langue portugaise acquis en PNLD ne disposent pas d'une fonction d'évaluation du point de vue de la réglementation. Ces données nous montrent que, bien que plus de vingt ans se soient écoulés depuis la publication du premier volume de PCN, les manuels scolaires en langue portugaise les plus largement diffusés présentent toujours des conceptions de l’évaluation de l’apprentissage et de l’écriture tirées de l’apprentissage dans une perspective incompatible avec la recherche la plus récente en évaluation.

Centros de autoacesso, identidade docente e profissionalidade
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-05-31) BARRETO, Mariana Maués; SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6129530461830312
Self-Access Centers (SACs) are places designed to foster autonomy in the course of learning an additional language. There is a SAC at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). It is called Autonomous Learning Support Base (ALSB), and it is open to the general public. Visitors are aided by undergraduate students who work voluntarily. Currently, ALSB is institutionally understood as a room where visitors find support for autonomous language learning. SACs are research fields, as demonstrated in studies developed in them. However, there is still room for enriching the experience of attending a SAC while obtaining a teaching degree in an additional language. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to investigate how a space dedicated to autonomous language learning itself can dynamically affect present and former volunteers in their development towards professional teaching and their constant building of a teaching identity. According to Murray (2018), the main features of SACs are the constant process of transformation and the dynamic relationship between socially constructed beings and this particular context. The path one takes in life is inherent to their formation; thus, the individuals who experience SACs bear a chance to establish and modify their distinctive teaching identities. The concept of Professional Teaching emerges amid enquiries concerning the construction of identities and what being a teacher embodies. It expresses “the qualities of teachers' professional practice in agreement with the demands of the educational work” (CONTRERAS, 2002, p. 74). Such qualities of professional teaching are related to the values teachers want to develop and the purposes they want to achieve. Therefore, the substance of these qualities is not fixed. Contrariwise, it is adaptable to the context and the specific situations in the reality of each teacher. The present research presents a narrative approach to qualitative enquiry with holistic analytical movements, and it comprises two methodological steps. During four months, we collected narratives from three teachers in training and four graduated teachers to analyze how they make sense of their teaching identity. Afterwards, we conducted a roundtable discussion with teachers who are currently active to elucidate doubts and introduce the complementary queries. Since the identities are constantly constructed, reformulated and influenced directly or indirectly by the spaces in which the teachers are part of, the results obtained through the mentioned instruments showed the multidimensional character of the teaching identity construction. We also identified the training potential of SACs and the different impacts caused by the center on the participants’ professional teaching and identity. They were influenced in terms of experience with space management, activity planning, daily contact with the center itself, and with other language learners.

A contribuição da anáfora encapsuladora para a organização da informação em dissertações produzidas por alunos do 3º ano do ensino médio de Santarém
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2006-11-29) CORDEIRO, Maria Audirene de Souza; TOSCANO, Maria Eulália Sobral; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7725724776869425
This work shows presents the result of an investigation about the encapsulating anaphora contribution for the organization of information in dissertations. For this research, it was used 60 (sixty) texts produced by students from 3rd (third) grade of High School from Dom Amando School. The theoretical basis founds on Koch’s (1997, 2001, 2004, 2005), Val’s (1999, 2003), Marcuschi’s (2001, 2002), Ilari’s (1992, 2001, 2005) Cavalcante’s (2001, 2003), Sousa’s(2003), Mondada’s ( 2003), Apothéloz’s (2003), Apothéloz and Chanet’s (2003), Conte’s (2003) and Francis (2003). The analysis of the texts points out that, in spite of encapsulating anaphora being an important referenciation strategy to guarantee the remission and summarization of preceding textual portions, it was used in 15 (fifteen) of the 60 (sixty) dissertations that composes the corpus. In these texts I recognize the formal contexts where encapsulating anaphora were used, I analyse how they contribute for the organization of argumentative sequences that compose the dissertation and how the inadequate use of this strategy can damage the rgumentative process. The results point out that the encapsulating anaphora is really a fundamental strategy for the organization of argumentative sequences, because summarizing preceding textual portions, this particular kind of anaphora allows the text producer to: a) work with different arguments and relat them to each other with no repeating sequences that were mentioned; b) conduct the argumentative line in order that the reader is convinced of the points of view effectiveness defended in text and c) show changes in argumentative sequence, indicating that the author’s text is getting through from an argumentative point to another one. Besides that, depending on the chosen noun to compose the encapsulating anaphora, we can realize how the producer evaluates and wants the reader interpret preceding sequences encapsulating anaphora. In Portuguese Language classes and/or production of text classes, attention should be given to the fuction of encapsulating anaphora because this strategy allows the construction of argumentative logical sequences and makes possible the text producer to organize his/her texts in a much more productive way the argumentative process in dissertations.

This study aims to present a research on the Apurinã grammar, examining its interaction with semantics and discourse-pragmatics in order to investigate how certain uses of grammar cover the interaction between semantic, pragmatic and morphosyntactic properties. The grammatical elements involved in this research includ personal pronouns, discourse particles and the morphological form =nhi. In order to describe the relevant facts concerning these elements, I propose a descriptive analysis that tries to account for how the morphosyntax and the areas of semantics and pragmatics interact, since uses of the forms surveyed are directly associated with empathy or the speaker's intention, information flow and reference and sequence of events in discourse. This study adopts the principles of the typological-functional linguistics as they cover morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse-pragmatic properties.

This Dissertation aims to contribute to the Prosodic Atlas of northern Brazil with characterization of dialectal variation of the Portuguese spoken in the municipality of Santarem (PA). This is a study linked to Project Atlas Multimedia Prosodic the Portuguese Northern Brazil (AMPER-POR) that is directly linked to the European research project Atlas Multimedia Prosodique de l'Espace Roman (AMPER). For the constitution of the corpus was field research conducted in the municipality of Santarem (PA) that is part of the area of operation of the main project, which investigates the dialect of Para provincial Amazon. All methodological procedures used in this study followed the guidelines established by the AMPER team for the conduct of training corpora for multimedia prosodic Atlas of the Romance languages. For this work has created an expanded corpus composed of 416 phrases SVC type (subject + verb + complement) with its expansions in Syntagma Adjectival and prepositional phrase. The sentences were structured obeying the same phonetic and syntactic constraints of AMPER-BY project. The results showed that the acoustic parameter F0 presented relevant distinction, the pincer movement that occurs in the stressed syllable of accentual oxytone guidelines, paroxytone and only a few cases of proparoxytone. In the Length parameter, it was observed that the values were higher in all statements of both sexes in the stressed syllable of the last element of the sentence. In intensity, it was found that the male speaks of measures are higher than those of women, in general, the interrogative are always longer than the affirmative, only two cases showed that this reversal of values in this parameter. Thus, the intensity is was not characterized as a complementary acoustic parameter F0 and ms. Therefore, it is shown that the acoustic parameters of F0, ms are determining factors of distinction in phrasal modalities, affirmative and interrogative total this research, related to the spoken variety of Santarem.

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.

In the last decades, advising in language learning (ALL) has emerged as an approach which aims at promoting learners’ autonomy (KELLY, 1996; MOZZON-MCPHERSON; VISMANS, 2001; CARSON; MYNARD, 2012; MAGNO E SILVA, 2012, 2016; KATO; MYNARD, 2015). In the Language Teaching Undergraduate course at the Federal University of Pará, some students enter with low proficiency and they need to develop both teaching and language skills. Anxiety, low self-esteem and demotivation are some of the affective states these learners go through. To help them an advising service was established. This research investigated how the dialogue in ALL happens and how effective it can be to promote learner’s autonomy for three advisees at that college. They all started the course with low proficiency in English. Virtual and face to face sessions were analyzed and questionnaires were applied to advisees and advisers. Besides, I aimed at verifying the interactional patterns and how reflection is enhanced by the advisers. The theoretical background is based on ALL studies, on Vygotsky’s (1991) sociocultural perspective, on works of Dewey (1910), Boyd and Fales (1983) and Schön (2000) about reflection. The results indicate that in ALL there’s a less hierarchical relationship as they work collaboratively towards a goal, negotiating activities, themes to be discussed, place and time for meeting. I also identified some strategies used by the adviser to promote reflection, with a non-directive attitude. Besides that, there was a prevalence of the first language use during the sessions with beginners and the target language was used as an opportunity to practice it by the more proficient learners. Finally, we believe that listening to ALL conversations means a greater understanding of the possibilities for teaching practices in which learners have their voices heard and valued.

Didatização de gêneros textuais e avaliação formativa: uma análise da apropriação do procedimento “sequência didática” por professores de português em formação inicial
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-07-16) BARBOSA, Marcos Ferreira; CUNHA, Myriam Crestian Chaves da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0057919162522146; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9635-5054
In the present research, we undertake a discussion about the teaching-learning of textual production based on textual genres. Our focus is the acquisition of procedures for the didactization of genders in the initial formation of Portuguese teachers. In this occasion, we propose the analysis of the appropriation of the didactic-methodological device Didactic Sequence by students of the licentiate course in Portuguese Letters of the Federal University of Pará, Campus Abaetetuba and Belém, establishing the following objectives: describe intervention proposals pedagogical approach involving the didactic-methodological procedure called "Didactic Sequence", elaborated by university students; analyze the characteristics of the proposals for intervention in the light of the theoretical assumptions on which they are based; to analyze the possible evidences of formative assessment processes – such as regulation, self-regulation, co-evaluation and self-evaluation – in the proposals studied; guidelines for favoring procedures of "gender didactization" by teachers in initial training. Our theoretical foundation is based mainly on the thinking about the discursive genres in Bakhtin, from the perspective of Sociodiscursive Interactionism and Language Didactics (BRONCKART, DOLZ, SCHNEUWLY et al.) and the Francophone formative (ALLAL, FERNANDES, FRISON et al.). As for the methodological procedures, we conducted documentary research, with a qualitative approach and with an exploratory objective; having as corpus of analysis proposals of Didactic Sequence elaborated by undergraduate students. Our analyzes lead us to perceive significant difficulties in the appropriation of new theoretical perspectives and of didactic-methodological proposals aimed at teaching-learning of the mother tongue, especially as regards the integration of formative evaluation to activities of textual production; we relate these difficulties to the previous school education of the university students, very marked – in the Brazilian context – by the textual production dissociated from a definite sociocommunicative context, by the use of the text as a support for the study of grammatical description and by the exclusive use of the summative evaluation in detriment of the formative evaluation.

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.

Estudo comparativo do fenômeno de nasalização em línguas da família Tupi-Guaraní (Tronco Tupi)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-04-26) MIRANDA, Camille Cardoso; PICANÇO, Gessiane Lobato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8504849027565119
This work aims to describe the patterns of nasalization phenomena in indigenous languages of Tupí-Guaraní subgroup of the Tupian family: Mbyá, Kaiowá, Paraguayan Guaraní, Old-Guaraní, Nhandewa, Tapieté (Branch I); Sirionó (Branch II); Nheengatú, Tupinambá (Branch III), Tembé, Parakanã, Suruí-Tocantins, Avá-Canoeiro, Tapirapé (Branch IV); Anambé, Araweté, Asuriní of the Xingu (Branch V); Kayabi, Apiaká, Tenharím, Uru-Eu-Uau-Uau (Branch VI), Kamayurá (Branch VII) and Guajá, Ka'apor, Zo'e, Wayampi and Emerillon (Branch VIII). To investigate the nasalization processes in Tupí-Guaraní languages, we adopt the typological approach by Walker (1998) to verify and comprehend, from the typological hierarchy of nasal harmony, segments that can be triggers and targets of nasal spreading. The study also uses the considerations of Ohala (1981, 1993) and Cohn (1990, 1993) to examine nasalization processes as a phonetic effect and not as a phonological process. With regard to the segments that are the triggers, i.e, those that begin the nasalization process, we see that nasal consonants (N) and nasal vowels (Ṽ) are the sources of nasality predominant in almost all languages. However, in Suruí-Tocantins, Parakanã, Tembé, and Apiaká (Branch IV and VI), only nasalization triggered for N was found. In Sirionó (Branch II) and Tapirapé (Branch IV), the nasalization is triggered only by Ṽ. For the targets segments, the languages were classified into four different types according to the implicational scale of walker’s nasal harmony. The language Sirionó (Branch II), and the languages of the branches IV and VI tend to have vowels being predominantly nasalized (Type 1), while the languages Tupinambá, Nheengatú, Anambé, Araweté, Asuriní of the Xingu, Ka'apor and Zo'e (branches III, V and VIII) have vowels + glides undergo nasalization (Type 2). The Kamayurá language belonging to branch VII has vowels + glides + liquids being affected by the nasalization process, and the same occurs with the Guajá language (Branch VIII). The languages of Branch I (with exception of Tapieté), Wayampi and Emerillon (Branch VIII) exhibit the type 5, in which all the segments are affects by nasal harmony. The study also examined segments that are blockers of the nasalization process. The languages that present blocker segments (especially the voiceless obstruents) are: Tapieté (Branch I), Tupinambá, Nheengatú (Branch III), Avá-Canoeiro (Branch IV), Anambé, Araweté, Asuriní of the Xingu (Branch V), Kayabi, Apiaká (Branch VI), Kamayurá (Branch VII), Guajá, Ka'apor and Zo'e (Branch VIII). Already the other languages present voiceless obstruents being transparent to the nasalization process. The directionality of spreading is predominantly regressive, although it may have also progressive or bidirectional spreading; these two last are quite often in morphological process. The domain of nasalization is two types: local, when is N and the word when is Ṽ. In summary, the work follows several steps that help in the investigation of nasalization phenomena in the Tupí-Guaraní languages. The approach in this study is typological since it uses crosslinguistic methods to check, among the languages investigated, similarities and differences in patterns related to the subject in question. Thus, the research carried out in this dissertation seeks to provide important information about nasalization processes in these languages. We expect that this research may promote future analyses regarding the phonological typology of the indigenous languages of Brazil.
