Aconselhamento linguageiro, motivação e autonomia: um estudo de caso em escrita acadêmica em inglês
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-09-04) MARTINS, Marja Ferreira; SILVA, Walkyria Alydia Grahl Passos Magno e; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6129530461830312
The difficulty reported by my classmates to write their final papers and the recent studies about language counseling started by me at the time prompted me to promote a research where I could verify the impact of counseling techniques in the students’ learning process of English as FL with difficulties in academic writing. Making connections with other areas such as autonomy and motivation, which had already been the focus of my attention. I decided to conduct a research aiming to verify how the language counseling can work as a scaffold to the autonomy of undergraduate students in English as a foreign language focusing on the academic writing skills improvement and, at the same time, to analyze the impact of this experience on their motivational process. For this, I search to verify, through a case study, how is the relationship between counselor and advised develops and describe, using multiple data collection resources (facebook chat, recording and transcription of chat sessions related to their writing problems and a final interview) to a better performance in academic writing. The results obtained through analysis of the collected material allowed me to observe that actually there is a considerable impact of language counseling techniques described by Kelly (1996), Stickler (2001) and Mynard (2012) both in autonomy and in student’s motivation process toward to the development their his writing skills for academic purposes.

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).

Dalcídio Jurandir: um cronista de O Estado do Pará e de Diretrizes
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-06-02) BARBOSA, Tayana Andreza de Sousa; FURTADO, Marli Tereza; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2382303554607592
The writer Dalcídio Jurandir (1909-1979) had a long and useful literary production, which resulted in ten novels with Amazon setting and Linha do Parque of Communist orientation. However, his contact with the universe literate is not restricted to his fictional creation, the writer held intense activity in the press in general and the Communist press in particular. This last, due to his involvement with the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), which was substantial for the grounds of thought "dalcidiano", both as regards the way to see the reality and its operation, as when targeting their artistic creation. Two important journals for which Dalcídio collaborated in the cities in which he resided were the O Estado do Pará and Diretrizes, both of leftist policy orientations although not organically connected to the PCB. These two journals, it is possible to terms with another face of the novelist, who in addition to writing his novels, he ventured down the path of Chronicles. Thus, aim, with this work, do a study of these chronicles, in two newspapers, spanning the years from 1937 to 1944, in order to publicize these texts from writer marajoara and understand how he behaved in the creation of another literary genre.

Expressividade oral e fluência em leitura: monitoramento e diagnóstico de cinco escolas estaduais de Belém do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-05-08) SAUAIA VANSILER, Nair Daiane de Souza; PICANÇO, Gessiane Lobato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8504849027565119
The expressive reading is a way of showing the meanings of the text apprehended by the reader. Therefore, the expression in oral reading can not only distinguish good from poor readers, but also be used to monitor comprehension. It is possible to verify, based on prosodic elements, the way the students apply their linguistic knowledge on their reading. Fluent readers incorporate prosodic features of the spoken language (such as accent, pitch range of voice, intonation, phrasing and pauses) during reading, making it sound as natural as possible. This project takes the concepts of the interactive-compensatory model because we accept that the automatic decoding process allows the acceleration of the word identification process in texts. This research shows the evaluation of the three prosodic dimensions - intonation and stress; phrasing and rhythm - in readings done by high school sophomores (2nd year students) from five different public schools in Belém, Pará. The research is divided into two stages, in each one the students have read, for one minute, excerpts from three different texts. In the first stage, 54 students from the five selected public schools have been analyzed, summing an amount of 162 oral reading samples. In the second one, done in the ending of the 2013 school year, the readings of three out of four texts, in the second visit in four schools out of the five initial ones, by 44 students were analyzed. During this second stage, students of two selected schools have read one more text with better prosodic signs; 20 students participated. The CBM (DENO, 1985) offered an efficient method of student reading captivation. The quantitative analysis of the reading samples was done based on the oral expressivity parameters of a multidimensional scale, adapted to this research from the Fountas and Pinnel (2006), Raisinski (2004) and Zuttell & Rasinski (1991) propositions. We believe that readers who present some difficulty on expressive oral reading may lack of supporting elements to the reading comprehension skills proposed by Wren (2002), as well as related to some parsing deficit. The disability on automatically recognizing words may also be one these deficiencies. In the end, we have presented some proposals of guided intervention to obtain more satisfying performances on expressive oral reading.

O interlúdio de Eros e Thánatos na poesia de Max Martins
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-02-17) RIBEIRO, Natália Lima; FERRAZ, Antônio Máximo von Sohsten Gomes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5982898787473373
This study aims to find which way Eros and Thánatos appear in the poetic work of Max Martins, on the assumption that these ontological experiences articulate in interlude (a game in between). Thus, this search intend to embraces new ways of thinking Love and Death out of a metaphysical tradition, or out of the paradigms which form used to these phenomenons that exceed the man in the work of the martiniana poetry. In the work of Max Martins, we can see a break with the metaphysical constructions that happen in modernity, given that his poetry is permeated by the constant question, from a thought about the events surrounding the existence. For the poet, the man is that one who takes care of things, makes his existential trajectory by questioning, experiencing Love and Death originating, not categorizes them into segments. In other words, in the work of Max Martins human being travels the existence in the ontological game Eros and Thánatos. In his works, both phenomenons appear in different forms and ways, as Max Martins is not related to an expression, but his experiences in poetic language of Eros and Thánatos all over nearly fifty years of poetry. In this sense, through a hermeneutic approach, the proposal presented here raises the development of an interpretive route around the poetics of Max Martins in the works include the collection Poemas Reunidos 1952 - 2001 and Para ter onde ir, with authors dialogue as Martin Heidegger, Octavio Paz, Manuel Antônio Castro, George Bataille and Plato, in order to foster discussion about the relationship between Love and Death diverges opposition usually employed in our time, but there is a match between these two instances that guiding life.

Literatura de cordel: entre versos e rimas sotádicos e sacânicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-03-16) CARVALHO, Ana Maria de; FERNANDES, José Guilherme dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7023812449790431
In general, the thematic classifications of Cordel attend educational purposes, arranged in groups which can be thematic or structure based. During the research I found thematic classifications about: religion, banditry, love etc. In the work of Alves Sobrinho (2003), among the issues cited by him, I highlight the issue of depravity, defined as that which is obscene and immoral. That same theme is called sotadic by Salles (2003), that is, productions whose contents do not follow the rules of morals and morality. This type of Cordel reached its culmination in the 50s, in the Northeast of Brazil. Currently, in the state of Para, one of its representatives is the poet Antonio Juraci Siqueira. This study aims to analyze this type of Cordel and read them as a cultural text, which is able to say something more than dirtiness. Thus, it is important to mention the relationship between laughter and sexuality which arises from the sotadic theme. The discussion will present the theoretical assumptions based on Bergson (2007), Foucault (1977), Propp (1992), Idelette Muzart-Fonseca dos Santos (2006).

Marques de Carvalho na imprensa periódica belenenses oitocentistas (1800-1900)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-02-13) SILVA, Alan Victor Flor da; SALES, Germana Maria Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8723885160615840
The writer, politician, journalist and diplomat João Marques de Carvalho was born in Belém, capital of Pará state, on November 6, 1866, and died in Nice, southern France, on April 11, 1910, with 43 years. Besides his prose fiction was published in book form, some of his texts between short stories, novels, legends and critical essays, are spread on pages of certain periodic sheets that circulated by Belém the last two decades of the nineteenth century (1880-1900), as Diário de Belém (Belém’s Daily), A Província do Pará (The Province of Pará), A República (The Republic) and A Arena (The Arena). Therefore, considering the universe of his writings published in local newspapers, the objective is, with this work, to evaluate not only as Marques de Carvalho understood the naturalist doctrine, the function of criticism and literary production in the state of Pará, as well as analyze the representation of the Lusitanian and Amazonian fictional space in his stories and novels published in Belém’s periodical press of the nineteenth-century.

As mil e uma transfigurações de rocambole: a personagem mais brilhante de Ponson du Terrail
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-04-29) BORGES, Débora de Castro; AUGUSTI, Valéria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6970953321235328
Ponson du Terrail was considered one of the leading French popular novelists the second half of the nineteenth century. Having circulated widely in serials and in book form his country of origin, he had his novels translated into Portuguese language and, that century, published by numerous Portuguese publishers. Part of Portuguese editions of his novels have been sent to Belém of Pará and became part of the Grêmio Literário Português of Para collection, reading room established in the capital of the province in 1867. Whereas one of the main author of blockbusters was Rocambole series, which are narrated the adventures of the eponymous character in 12 novels, this work aimed to describe the bibliographic point of view, the issues of this series contained in the collection of this institution to date. Therefore, we collected the editorial data of the copies of paraense reading room, which were compared with specimens of French editions available at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, so check the different editorial arrangements of the series, with regard to the organization the parts that compose it. Done this was undertaken the synthesis of the plot of the novels that compose the series as a whole, as well as the analysis of the narrative focused on the physical and psychological transformations of character, emphasizing the importance of disguise and recognition for the plot economy.

Perfil comparativo-tipológico das consoantes nasais em línguas da família Tupí-Guaraní
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-01-28) BARAÚNA, Fabíola Azevedo; PICANÇO, Gessiane Lobato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8504849027565119
This work aims to produce a comparative-typological profile of the phonetic variants of the nasal consonants in languages of the Tupí-Guaraní family. For the selection of the analyzed languages, it was decided to include different branches of the Tupí-Guaraní family, acording to the internal classification suggested by Rodrigues and Cabral (2002), in order to increase the comprehensiveness of typological studies regarding the Tupi languages. The Parakanã and Tembé (Branch IV), Wayampi (Branch VIII), Asuriní of Xingu, the Anambé and Araweté (Branch V) languages were chosen, all of which have original audio recordings obtained from native speakers; for the phonological aspects, the study was based on the proposals already available for these languages. The research consists of a phonetic-acoustic analysis of the nasal consonants of these Tupí languages, making typological generalizations about how these consonants are manifested. The results are discussed with the framework of articulatory phonology (BROWMAN AND GOLDSTEIN, 1989) who defend the idea that lexicals units can be described in terms of articulatory gestures coordinated both in space and in time, represented by what the authors call gestural score. Furthermore, this work includes a comparison of nasals in the selected Tupí languages, highlighting existing trends and patterns based on the description of the phonetic implementations of nasals in the selected languages. It was found that when there is partial oralization in the nasal consonants, the Tupí-Guaraní languages of branch IV have a tendency to introduce pre-oralization, while the languages of branch V tend to have post-oralization. This result shows up as an argument for division of the branches of the Tupi-Guarani family, proposed by Rodrigues (1986) and revised by Rodrigues and Cabral (2002).

A precisão na fluência em leitura oral: avaliando a leitura de alunos do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-09) MOUTINHO, Michell Gadelha; PICANÇO, Gessiane Lobato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8504849027565119
This study aims at examining students’ performance levels in oral reading accuracy. 46 sixthgraders from four schools – two public and two private –participated voluntarily in the study, which took place in Belém – Pará. The work intends to contribute to discussions about reading assessment, since Pará students’ performance in national and international exams, such as Prova Brasil, Enem and PISA, has been below the expectations. In order to achieve this goal, we followed the Curriculum-based measurement method, proposed by Deno (1985), which considers one-minute of oral reading to be enough to analyze and determine the students’ major difficulties in a more specific way, in this case, accuracy in word decoding. Oral reading samples were collected in two visits, which took place in the beginning and the end of 2015 school year. The analysis was based on the levels of performance for word decoding accuracy (RASINSKI, 2004), accuracy rate and self-correction rate. The results show a difference between students’ performance from public and private schools, in that the latter reached better levels than the former. Moreover, we also analyze the types of errors that students mostly make in reading aloud, which were substitutions (usually driven by lexemic similarity, graphic similarity, pluralization/singularization and influence of the context) and pronunciation (especially driven by lack of knowledge about phoneme-grapheme relations, deletion of word sounds and misplacement of stress position). These errors exhibited different manifestations and were the ones with a major impact on reading comprehension. We conclude that the difficulty in word decoding is more frequent in public schools, thus, if nothing is done to solve these problems, these students will continue to recede in their reading skills.
