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).

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.

A contribuição dos estudos discursivos para a gramaática da língua Apurinã (Aruak)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-14) BARROS, Laise Maciel; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; ttp://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
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.

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.

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.

Estudo geosociolinguístico do português falado em áreas indígenas Galibi-Marworno e Karipuna
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-10-28) CARVALHO, Amanda da Costa; RAZKY, Abdelhak; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8153913927369006; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9250-8917
The aim of this work is to map, at the phonetic level, the Portuguese spoken by the Karipuna and Galibi-Marworno peoples, located in the Uaçá Indigenous Land, in the municipality of Oiapoque, in the state of Amapá, bordering the French commune of Saint-Georges, Department of French Guiana. The general objective of this research is to describe and analyze the phonetic variation found in Brazilian Portuguese Indigenous in contact with the Kheuól language (Creole of French base spoken by the natives), in the realizations of pretonic medium vowel pretonic average vowel [e]; maintenance of the diphthong [eɪ], [oʊ] and / R / in the syllable coda in the internal position. The theoretical-methodological assumptions that led to this research were based on Pluridimensional and Contatual Dialectology (RADKE; THUN, 1996; THUN, 1998), on Geolinguistics (GILLIERON, 1902) and Geossociolinguistics (RAZKY, 1998). Based on the communities studied, in the Pluridimensional Dialectology and Geossociolinguistics, the selected dimensions were the diatopic dialectal, the topostatic, the diassexual / diagenerational. Four survey points were selected: two Galibis-Marworno (Kumarumã and Tukay) and two Karipuna (Manga and Santa Isabel) communities. Four employees were socially stratified (age and gender) in each locality: (i) the first age group, a man and a woman aged 18 to 37; (ii) in the second age group, a man and a woman between 45 and 75 years of age. Throughout the data collection were applied: Phonological-Phonological Questionnaire (QFF) adapted with the total of 164 questions, with bilingual answers; Sociolinguistic Questionnaire of the Sonorous Atlas of Brazilian Indigenous Languages Project (CABRAL et al., 2015). The sociolinguistic results showed that the Galibi-Marworno and the Karipuna are two totally distinct peoples, with different levels of proficiency in KH and PBI. The phonetic analysis corroborated previous work on the identified phonetic phenomena, with the exception of the ditongo [eɪ]. We also add that, data related to social analyzes of phonetic data were not significant for phonetic variation. This context allows us to propose that the regional PB talk of the non-indigenous collaborators who live in areas close to the researched villages is propagated in the indigenous areas, forming, consequently, a continuum of speech with regional talk.

A forma verbal TXA da língua Apurinã: um fenômeno de gramaticalização
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-05-21) BATISTA, Gabriela de Andrade; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7460-8620
Semantic domains as polysemy and homonymy do not explain satisfactorily some behaviors related to the verb txa of the Apurinã (Arawak) language, spoken by indigenous communities that live along tributaries of the Rio Purus, southwest of the Amazonas state. Hence, the grammaticalization process is the option which better offers the possibility to analyze and describe the form of this verb manifestation in the language, which ccurs in different contexts, with distinct meanings and syntactic behavior, but the same verb form. Facundes (2000) describes the txa verb as behaving as a full verb, pro-verb, copula verb, and auxiliary verb. The hypothesis is that there is some semantic relation between the different occurrences of the verb, but with morphosyntactic behavior that differ according to the verb meaning/function. Therefore, it is possible to consider that there is a grammaticalization process in progress in the language, wherein some “source” verbal meaning gives origin to a “target” meaning, this last one being more abstract, as a result of a semantic bleaching process. This research consisted of a selected a corpus composed of 32 texts, part of the Apurinã language database, plus some other texts collected with native speakers through field trip, a systematic survey of the different occurrences of this verb, their description and analysis, to visualize the verb’s behavior in the language, intending to verify the direction of the linguistics changing occurred and have a wide view about the grammaticalization phenomenon which occurs in Apurinã, more specifically with the verbal form txa.

This doctoral thesis is part of the research line in linguistic studies and is developed within the research group GeoLinTerm – Geosociolinguistics and Socioterminology Project. A glossary in Brazilian Sign Language (LSB) was developed in the field of Pedagogy. Although numerous Deaf individuals choose to pursue this degree, there is currently no dictionary, glossary, or terminology guide available for the Deaf community in Pedagogy. The objective is to identify which terminologies have been conventionally established in Brazilian Sign Language for concepts within the Pedagogy program and to record them in a dictionary for consultation and comprehension by Deaf students, Brazilian Sign Language interpreters, and both hearing and Deaf teachers. A bibliographic study was conducted based on Faulstich (2003), Quadros (2004), Faria-Nascimento (2009), Castro Júnior (2014), Costa (2012), and Oliveira (2015) to support the study in the linguistic domain, particularly in the conventionalization of morpheme constructions that adequately express the specialized terminology within the undergraduate Pedagogy program. The collected data are guided by the methodology of Socioterminology, a branch of terminological science whose core objective is to reorganize a typology for the classification of variants in technical and scientific categories, distinguishing between two concurrent types: the formal terminological variant and the formal registry variant, as proposed by Faulstich (1995). A nationwide mapping of Brazil’s five regions was carried out to catalogue and document the sign terms conventionally used by peda ogues, Deaf students enrolled in the program, and Brazilian Sign Language interpreters. Based on this cataloguing process, a Socioterminological glossary was constructed, featuring 114 Pedagogy terms in Brazilian Sign Language, which was then made available as an Android mobile application for the Deaf Community.

Glossário terminológico do curso de odontologia português-libras
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-10-30) MARTINELLI, Denise Costa; LIMA, Alcides Fernandes de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2565242209879834
The present work developed in the Postgraduate Program in Letters - Linguistics, on the line research Analysis, Description and Documentation of Natural Languages presents the proposal of creating a bilingual terminological glossary Portuguese-Libras of Odontology from the snippet of Domain Odontology Course at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The research objective was to create a vocabulary from the terms used in Odontology course disciplines and purpose a creation of equivalent term-signs in the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) that represent the concepts and meanings taking into account the grammatical characteristics of sign languages based on lexical and terminological theories based in the methodology of socioterminology by Faulstich (1995). This semantic field was chosen because it is not yet a widely explored area. The term signs used in the field of Odontology, especially those used in the subjects taught in the Odontology course are still few in Libras. The methodology used was qualitative research. In the first stage, data collection, we proceed with this steps ahead: i) delimitation of the object of study and the target audience; ii) definition of the conceptual map; iii) selection and organization of the corpus; iv) selection of candidates for term signs; v) validation of the term signs by specialists in linguistics and Odontology; and v) reliability test. The second stage obey the sequence: i) Elaboration and organization of the terminology files; ii) organization of the images and videos in Libras and iii) the written production of the sign-terms through the SignWriting system. The terminology glossary of Portuguese-Libras Odontology will follow the rules of macro and microstructure used in sign language glossaries. The term signs were validated through periodic meetings between specialists in the field of translation and interpretation, deaf linguists and deaf students. We hope that the glossary proposal presented in this paper, will be extremely relevant to assist in communication between those involved in the process of simultaneous translation and interpretation, in ensure of linguistic rights for the deaf who enter college of Odontology course and as didactic material that contributes to the learning of terminology of this area.

The main objective of this research is to examine the language elements Apurinã (Aruák) showing traces of the culture of its people, such as aspects of their way of life, worldview, knowledge and traditional values and engagement with external values to their experiences life. In this sense, we point out features of the use of language revealing the identity of Apurinã who live near the banks of the Purus River, southeast region of the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The methodological procedures used involve review of the literature on the identity studies and references that relate such studies to the theoretical assumptions of linguistics, as well as analysis of data collected in field research, in April and December 2015 were also found work on Apurinã language, carried out by professor Sidney da Silva Facundes, from the Federal University of Pará, and his students for over twenty years of investigation. This research is done by adding relevant information, questions and answers to studies on the language Apurinã that may reveal, from linguistic data, aspects of the culture and customs. In addition to the academic contribution, this research is also justified in part, together with other elements, as a set of information to corroborate the legitimacy of the people, their culture and their right to exist socially. Furthermore, Apurinã identity traits highlighted here are described primarily in terms of their relationship with the beings of nature.

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.

Para a língua voltar: o papel da política e cultura linguística no processo de fortalecimento da Língua Apurinã (Aruák)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-08-31) BARROS, Jeanne Barros de; FACUNDES, Sidney da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9502308340482231
This research aims to survey the current state of the art of language teaching in Apurinã (Arawak), and to describe and analyze the main aspects of the Apurinã language policy and culture in its strengthening process. For almost 30 years the Apurinã language has been documented and described, a work which made possible some actions for the strengthening of the language in the communities. These initiatives involved the production of pedagogical materials co-authored with speakers of the Apurinã language and linguists. The present work has the Apurinã indigenous teachers as main sources of information. It seeks to update information about language teaching in the school context, since the school and writing in the language are considered by these teachers, as well as but representatives of the Apurinã Indigenous communities, as important tools in the process of language strengthening and maintenance. We also investigate, in the school context, aspects of language policy (uses, linguistic choices) and linguistic culture (ideologies and beliefs) that are determinant to the process of linguistic strengthening as they correlate with conceptions and attitudes towards the processes of language change, teaching or non-teaching of languages. The methodological procedures used include the literature review on studies of Linguistic Policy and Linguistic Culture and its relations with language strengthening. We also consider studies on Linguistic Policies directed at Brazilian Indigenous peoples, the meanings and representations of writing in the processes of Indigenous schooling and analysis of data collected in field trips in the months of March and September of 2017. This work therefore brings together information on initiatives to strengthen the language in a school context, reflections on the linguistic and ideological choices that the Apurinã people make and how they can benefit the initiatives of strengthening and maintenance of the Apurinã language by its people.

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.

Proposta de material didático para a língua Sakurabiat
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-03-12) COSTA, Carla Daniele Nascimento da; GALUCIO, Ana Vilacy Moreira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3697197245602067; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0168-1904
Currently spoken for about 12 people in the Brazilian state of Rondonia, Sakurabiat is an endangered language that composes the Tupari branch of the Tupi family. In the context of formal teaching of the language, Sakurabiat has the status of a second language and heritage language in the community. The appropriate and continuous training of indigenous teachers is a fundamental stage in the process of teaching and recovering of the language and the traditional culture, then, based on the decision taken informed and appropriate the Sakurabiat community will be able to reach their linguistic goals. The production and systematic publication of specific materials according to the demands of indigenous people is one of the principles of indigenous education in Brazil. However, many schools lack this type of material. In this sense, the present study aims to describe and analyze the process of elaboration of teaching material to the Sakurabiat language. Based on the theoretical assumptions of Brazilian policies of languages teaching (BRASIL, 1988, 1996, 1998), as well as on theories of linguistic learning and the methods and approach of language teaching, including literacy in minoritized languages (BAKER, 2001; PAIVA, 2014; RICHARDS; RODGERS, 2001), the present study is guided by the qualitative approach of data analysis and by the methodological principles of bibliographic research, case study, ethnography and action research. The methodological procedure included fieldwork for data collection utilizing interviews, on-site observation, and elicitation. Were done two field trips, focused on different audiences. The first trip was focused on the educational demands of Sakurabiat teachers. The second trip focused on the indigenous language learning objectives expressed by parents of students from the Aipere school and members of the community in general. The data collected exposes that the Sakurabiat community yearns for a material that supports them in the recovering process of their traditional language and culture. Thus, the research highlights the need to use different learning theories, as well as methods and language teaching approach to attend the specificities and demands of the Sakurabiat context. The expectation is that the material analyzed in this research works as a tool in the process of recovering the indigenous language and culture. To do this, community members will need to cross school boundaries and take the Sakurabiat language and culture to different spaces of use.

A prosódia da sequência númerica dos documentos oficiais de CPF e RENACH dos falantes do município de Belém

It has already been proven in several natural languages, including Brazilian Portuguese (BP), that there is a standardized way of grouping the nominal numbers. This research, which performs an acoustic and perceptual investigation of the prosodic language level, has been concerned with verifying whether there is dialectal variation in relation to this grouping in BP, replicating the same research done by Musiliyu (2014) and Almeida (2017) in the northeastern variety, to compare these results with those obtained in the Belém variety. The groupings contained in the official documents, specifically the Driver Licence (DL) and the Individual Register (IR), were analyzed. The corpus comprises 40 document numbers, 20 from IR and 20 from DL. In this dissertation are presented the results from the data analysis of 100 participants stratified in age group: 18-30 (age group I) and over 30 years of age (age group II); sex (50 women and 50 men). The research hypotheses for this research were: 1) whether data from Belém corroborate the pattern identified by Musiliyu (2014) and Almeida (2017) from the data of Maceió and Recife, respectively; 2) if there is dialectal variation in the prosodic pattern of numerical groupings in PB; 3) if there is a dialectal variation related to the age group and sex. Methodologically, during the data collection, the numbers were presented to the participants of the research randomly with the use of a slide show with interval of 7 seconds. Each speaker produced 6 times each numerical sequence to select the 3 best repeats of each data (CRUZ et al, 2012), generating a corpus for analysis of 12,000 numerical sequences (40 document numbers x 100 informants x 3 best repeats). Apply the procedures adopted by Musiliyu (2014) and Almeida (2017), which are: a) isolation of the repetitions in individual files; b) segmentation in the Praat program; d) identification of numerical and decimal categorizations; e) concordance test, using the Kappa Fleiss coefficient and f) identification of the intonational distributions, through the application of scripts scripts MOMEL / INTSINT (HIRST, 2007) and ProsodyPro (XU, 2012) for Praat software version 5.3.53 (BOERSMA; WEENINK, 2013). The work performs a comparative analysis of the results obtained with those of Almeida (2017) and concludes that there is a prosodic pattern in relation to the groupings of the nominal numbers of CPF in the variations studied, both with reference to the strategies of numerical and decimal distributions as well as the description of the contour of each prosodic unit, which proves the first hypothesis of this research. (3) and MUDU (1), MUDU (2), MUDU (3), MUB / D (4) , respectively. Behavior also noted for the RENACH numbers. As for the second hypothesis, which deals with the dialectal variation of the prosodic pattern of numerical groupings in PB, it is not confirmed, since there were no changes among the studied varieties. In the same way, as there was no dialectal variation regarding the age group and sex.
