Caracterização acústica das vogais médias pretônicas /e/ e /o/ do português falado na Cidade de Cametá/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-02-19) SOUSA, Josivane do Carmo Campos; CRUZ, Regina Célia Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3307472469778577
The present Doctoral Thesis in Linguistics aims to provide an acoustic description of the middle pretonic vowels / e / and / o / in Portuguese spoken in the urban area of the City of Cametá/PA. As specific objectives, we sought to: a) verify the possible influences of social factors such as gender, age group and education on the variation of the pretonic mean vowels; b) to verify if the phenomenon of vowel harmony favors the process of variation of the target vowels in the variety of Cametá/PA; c) provide the acoustic space of the target vowels under analysis, according to the parameters of F1 (tongue height), F2 (anteriority/posteriority); d) to investigate the role of F0 (fundamental frequency), F3 (roundness of the lips) and Duration in the acoustic characterization of the pretonic middle vowels in the studied variety. For that, the methodological procedures adopted were those established by Cruz (2011) in the acoustic characterization of the pretonic vowel system of Portuguese spoken in the Paraense Amazon: a) standardized corpus - with 45 words selected based on the context of high variability in previous sociolinguistic studies; b) sample stratified socially in sex, age group and education; c) data collection using the text reading protocol aloud (Y); d) segmentation of data in Praat; e) application of the Praat Analyzer Tier script to obtain the acoustic measurements taken from the central part of the target vowels; f) organization of the values of the physical parameters in Excel; g) statistical treatment by means of the R program. The results presented are the treatment of the 789 data from the data collection protocol through the reading of text (Y), contemplating the 18 (eighteen) sound signals referring to the sample. The sociolinguistic analysis showed the predominance of the medium variants, both of the anterior (75%) and the posterior (60%). Then, the low variants: 15% for the former, and 27% for the latter; and finally, the high variants: 10% of the former, and 13% of the latter. As for the social factors analyzed, schooling proved to be the most interfering factor in the variation of the vowels under study, as it was found that the higher the level of education, the greater the likelihood of performing the medium variants, and the lower the probability of high variants, confirming, therefore, that the schooling process in the municipality of Cametá tends to erase dialect marks. The acoustic analysis, in turn, from the joint analysis of F1 and F2, confirms that it is the most compact pretense vocalic system in Cametá and with a greater tendency towards centralization, as attested by Lages (2017) and Verçosa (2018). Vowel harmony was confirmed by tests of significance as a phonological process favoring vowel variation. With regard to F0 and F3, these are confirmed as parameters of identity between the variants, precisely because they present very close frequencies, thus allowing the realization of the same phoneme at the underlying level to be considered. The duration, in turn, was considered more than a distinctive parameter of vowels, since it can also be taken as an identity parameter between the variants of the vowels in a pretonic context.

Laços luso-paraense na imprensa oitocentista
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-31) TAVARES, Maria Lucilena Gonzaga Costa; BARBOSA, Socorro de Fátima Pacífico; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1775931802554481; SALES, Germana Maria Araújo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8723885160615840
Almost two centuries of the independence of Brazil, some ties still linger in Pará, beyond the language and the political and cultural history left by the Portuguese colonizers. Thus, it was up to the newspaper to archive part of this important story that, in some Brazilian provinces, also witnessed harsh prospects of what intended Brazilians, as happened in Grand Pará Province, whose peculiarity focuses even before his "adherence" to independence in 1823. Therefore, we investigated some newspapers of Pará from the nineteenth century, in particular, those of the 1840s - respectively the end of Cabanagem - the 1880, the decline of Romanticism, in order to show from the perspective of literary history, such as the Grand Province - witnessed in adverse direction of the other, the lusophilia and permanence of Portuguese culture. We propose as the source the journals from Pará cataloged in the microfilm sector from Arthur Viana library, located in the Cultural Foundation of Pará, in which we find record keeping existing literary ties between Brazil and Portugal in the nineteenth century. This research will serve as a bibliographic source to those interested in historical and cultural relationship between Pará and Portugal, given that mosto of the newspapers investigated is located solely in the said Para state library, which certainly favors the little publicity about this historiographical content, besides placing Pará among the important Brazilian provinces of the nineteenth century.

Lutar com o verbo nunca foi apenas lamento: a poesia elegíaca de Paulo Plínio Abreu
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-02-25) VANSILER, João Jairo Moraes; CARDOZO, Mauricio Mendonça; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6080426102326479; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9270-6892; LEAL, Izabela Guimarães Guerra; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2507019514021007
This thesis examines the work of Paulo Plínio Abreu (1921-1959), a poet from Pará, Brazil, developed in the 1940s and 1950s, when he published poems and translations in local journals like Terra Imatura, Novidade, Encontro, and Norte, and the newspapers O Estado do Pará and Folha do Norte. By the initiative of Francisco Paulo Mendes (1910-1999), this literary production took the form of a book, edited and published in 1978, nearly 20 years after the poet's early death. The editor named the book Poesia (1978/2008). It entails the poetic material published in the press, including poems and portions of poems, but also the unpublished translation of one of the main German poetic productions of the 20th century: The Duino Elegies, by Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926). This thesis reviews traces of such literary production to highlight factors of fragmentation and incompleteness of a literary project left open due to the poet's unexpected death. The editorial decisions towards the book were imperative to avoid the work falling into oblivion. In addition, editorial investments positively impacted the literalness of the production. This issue of sedimentation when collecting the production in the form of a book prompted the inevitable questioning regarding commonplaces of a literary work, such as the author, the work itself, and the reader. Such questioning is conceivable for the condition of possibility founded in the theoretical-methodological bibliography, that includes (ANTELO, 2016), (ISER, 1996), (ECO, 1991), (FOUCAULT, 2001), (CHARTIER, 1999), (BARTHES, 2004), (GENETTE, 2009), and foremost (BENJAMIN, 2018). These authors provided the framework of the thesis’ argument and therefore guided its analysis, which is organized into five main sections. The thesis discusses the itinerary taken by the poems and translations, underlining the Zeitgeist that imprinted a ‘melancholic’ identity into the production. It facilitates the understanding of Poesia as a forged object read by the following generations. Therefore, this thesis is one more instrument to elucidate the work of Paulo Plínio Abreu.

Movimento Xingu vivo para sempre: da fundação à consolidação do discurso de recusa radical ao complexo hidrelétrico de Belo Monte
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-03-27) GALVÃO, Alessandro Nobre; PESSOA, Fátima Cristina da Costa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4011084861970140
This work examines the socio-historical conjuncture that led to the emergence and consolidation of a new discourse in the order of discourses on the management of natural resources in the Brazilian Amazon - the discourse of radical refusal to the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Complex (CHBM). This situation dates to a conflict started in the late 1970s when the Brazilian government proposes an inventory of the Xingu basin to assess its hydroelectric potential, reaching the 2000s with changes in the country's economic policy based on the strengthening of the neoliberal model and the opening of the Brazilian government to private companies for the exploitation of natural resources. We identified the birth of the resistance of indigenous groups with emphasis on the Kayapó people, later strengthened with the alliance sealed between this and other segments impacted by the Belo Monte project, on the occasion of the Xingu Vivo para Sempre Encounter held in 2008. We analyze, therefore, the historical facts that culminated in the emergence and circulation of this discourse, as well as its ideological foundation, the possible transformations it suffered over time and the discursive processes that derive from it. We made a descriptive dive in the indigenous social formation, seeking to compare it to the capitalist social formation, which allowed us to envisage, based on the Peucheutian studies, that the resistance we investigate is born in a non-place under the aegis of other rituals of interpellation, introducing itself within the practices and possible rituals in the capitalist social formation. Our analytical course showed us that discourse of radical rejection to the CHBM undergoes transformations from the advent of that imaginary alliance that, from a discursive point of view, sealed an alliance not between empirical subjects, but between different positions of subject and allowed the invasion of other knowledge into the FD that determines this discourse. The discursive corpus of this research is constituted by discursive materialities of differentiated semiotic nature and we adopt as a procedure of construction of this corpus the notion of cut proposed by Orlandi (1984), as well as the discursive sequence proposed by Courtine (2014) and the procedures of the analysis followed the triangular approach proposed by Lagazzi (2005).

Movimentos oculares e prosódia de leitura oral: análise dos marcadores prosódicos gráficos na leitura de alunos do 5 º ano do Ensino Fundamental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-02-25) VANSILER, Nair Daiane de Souza Sauaia; KLEIN, Angela Inês; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8845056127169633; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6230-7938; CRUZ, Regina Célia Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3307472469778577
The present Doctoral Thesis investigates the processing of Prosodic Graphic Markers - MPGs (PACHECO, 2003) in read-aloud. It aims to examine the processing of oral reading in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) taking into account the MPGs: Comma (VG), Period (PT) and Colon (DP) according to the BP intonational system defined by Cagliari (1981), which presents tonal patterns delimited by a Tonal Group (GT) consisting of a Salient Tonic Syllable (TT), Tonic Component (CT) and Pretonic Component (CPT). The methodology used combines acoustic and cognitive analysis. For the acoustic analysis, we recorded the oral production during reading of 58 5th grade students from the municipal school in Ponta Grossa (PR), all with ages between 9 and 12 years old, classified around the Reading Fluency variable, with a total of 29 students in the Fluent Group (FL) and 32 in the Low Fluency Group (FP). In all, 928 data were analyzed (58 students x 16 target sentences). Variables were controlled for taking the measures of intonational contours: Intensity (in dB) and Fundamental Frequency (f0) (in Hz) of CPT and CT, Duration (in ms) of TT and Pause (in ms). For the cognitive analysis, we employed the Eye Tracker Technique to take measurements of the eye movements of the 58 participants. The eye variables controlled were: Total Reading Time (TTL), Number of Fixations (NF), Number of Saccades (NS), and Mean Fixation Time (MTF). For the relationship between ocular and acoustic data, we applied tests combining the statistical variables and the stimuli: Test 1 (the number of fixations and duration of the internal pause), Test 2 (the number of revisits and duration of the internal pause), Test 3 (the number of fixations and duration of the final pause), and Test 4 (the number of revisits and duration of the final pause). The data was composed of three stimuli, corresponding to the reading of three different types of texts: Text 1, complex with the markers DP (2 target sentences), VG (3 target sentences) and PT (3 target sentences), Text 2, simple with the markers VG (3 target sentences) and PT (1 target sentence) and Text 3, simple without punctuation, containing 4 target sentences: i) 3 target sentences with VG value and ii) 1 target sentence with PT value. Data processing comprised the following steps: i) eye data extraction in BeGaze software; ii) segmentation of audio signals in Praat software; iii) extraction of the means of the physical parameters of the segments; iv) tabulation of the acoustic and eye relationship data; v) application of quantitative tests. In the prosodic analysis, the participants present in all the markers evaluated, inconsistency regarding the reduction or maintenance of CT and CPT in f0 and Intensity and no elongation of TT. The comparison of the averages of the eye variables between the FP and FL groups proves that the more complex the text, the greater the difference between the fluency groups. The results of the correlation analysis indicate that there is a significant correlation between the variables internal pause and fixations in test 1 (in texts 1 and 2) and internal pause and revisits in test 2 (in texts 2 and 3), which characterizes difficulty in reading processing due to internal pauses, revisits and fixations within the sentence; and between the variables End Pause and Fixations in test 3 (in text 1) and end pause and revisits in test 4 (in text 2), which means that when the duration of the amount of fixations and revisits increases, there is an increase in the duration of the end pause, which may prove the dwell-time effect (HIROTANI; FRAZIER; RAYNER, 2006; RAYNER, 1998), in which readers remain at the end of a clause until the resolution of the present clause. Overall, the data showed that there is a strong correlation between fixation, revisit, and pause duration in the processing of punctuation marks during spoken reading.
