A língua de ferro ecoando no discurso sobre a grilagem de territórios indígenas: ideologia, silêncio e memória
This study proposes a reflection on the effects of meaning in the legal discourse present in Law 601 of 1850, which regulated land ownership in Brazil during the Second Empire, and its contemporary iteration in Bill 490/2007, which addresses the demarcation of Indigenous lands. The analysis is grounded in Discourse Analysis (DA), as initiated by Michel Pêcheux and expanded by Eni Orlandi, highlighting how legal discourse reproduces and updates ideological relations of domination and resistance. The study begins with the conditions of discourse production, following Courtine (2016), which link linguistic materiality to historical conditions, demonstrating how colonization and European capitalism shaped land ownership policies in Brazil. Law 601/1850 established purchase as the sole means of acquiring land, excluding Indigenous peoples, formerly enslaved individuals, and the poor, thereby consolidating land privatization and reinforcing colonial and capitalist logic. This discourse is revived in PL 490/2007, which imposes the "temporal framework" (marco temporal) of October 5, 1988, for Indigenous land demarcation, disregarding centuries of displacement and violence. The analysis reveals how legal discourse operates through silencing mechanisms and ideological interpellations, naturalizing the exclusion of Indigenous peoples and legitimizing the exploitation of their lands in the name of "progress" and "national security." In summary, the study demonstrates how legal discourse, throughout history, reproduces and updates colonial and capitalist domination, silencing Indigenous voices and justifying land dispossession. The analysis underscores the need to expose the ideological mechanisms embedded in legal discourse to understand the power relations that sustain the exclusion and marginalization of Indigenous peoples in Brazil.
ENGLISH TEACHER EDUCATION, LINGUISTIC EDUCATION, AND DIGITAL COLONIALISM
This study highlights the importance of documenting the history of the English teacher education, particularly given the limited availability of training programs for prospective English language teachers. At the same time, it stresses the need for educators to remain current, keeping pace with technological advancements and new modes of learning that continuously reshape classroom practices. In this context, the research discusses the demands and risks associated with digital colonialism in both teaching practice and initial teacher education. Drawing on the concepts of linguistic education and digital colonialism, the analysis seeks to understand how the interplay between these themes can inform and strengthen the preparation of English teachers in today’s local context. The findings are expected to demonstrate that in an increasingly globalized world, teachers must be critically prepared to engage with digitally mediated classrooms, while remaining attentive to the challenges posed by digital colonialism.
LANGUAGE POLICIES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND PRACTICES OF STUDENTS IN UFES’ LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE COURSES
This text, in light of the literature on Language Policies, has two objectives: (i) to analyze the language policy of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) and (ii) to investigate the perceptions and practices of students in the Languages and Literature Department (DLL) regarding national and local linguistic diversity, as well as their knowledge of language policies in general and of UFES in particular. The qualitative research involved a literature review, documentary analysis and a public opinion survey. The results show that: (i) among the participants: (a) there is greater interest in English and Spanish, languages present in Basic Education; (b) although many have discussed plurilingualism on the course, few have taken part in specific projects; (c) the majority do not feel prepared to deal with linguistic diversity in teaching and are unaware of Ufes' language policy; (ii) in terms of document analysis: (a) an institutional policy focused on external demands (internationalization) is observed, neglecting local (Ufes and the state) and national linguistic diversity. Although this is a pilot study, we conclude that UFES and the DLL could invest more attention in language policies, promote diversity and request a revision of the institutional policy.
THE USE OF THE PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE BY TIMORESE STUDENTS: LINGUISTIC DIFFICULTIES AND INTERFERENCES
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the use of the Portuguese language by Timorese students at the National University of Timor Lorosa’e (UNTL), highlighting linguistic difficulties and the influence of Tetum on the learning process. The research, of a qualitative and exploratory nature, was conducted based on questionnaires applied to five students. The results show that Tetum interferes in speaking and writing in Portuguese, generating phenomena of functional bilingualism and linguistic hybridity. The main difficulties observed involve pronunciation, vocabulary, verb tenses, agreement, and text organization. It is concluded that understanding the multilingual context of Timor-Leste is essential to improve the teaching and learning of Portuguese as a second language.
THE RETURN OF THE MILITARY POLICE: ERASURES AND THE EFFECT OF MEANING IN THE DISCOURSE ON THE 2017 MILITARY POLICE STRIKE IN ESPÍRITO SANTO
This article assembles a series of fragments from the discourse of the newspaper A Tribuna about the 2017 Espírito Santo Military Police Strike. Using the theoretical framework of materialist discourse analysis, based on the work of Michel Pêcheux, and the analytical framework DAM (Discourse, Archive, and Montage) proposed by Mara Glozman, we present the material elements of the protest and demonstration discourses that resonated in the newspaper around the "return of the Military Police." The analysis utilized the concepts of interdiscourse, discursive formation, and discursive process to describe and interpret the discursive materiality gathered. Based on the description and interpretation of this series, we identified that the phrase "The return of the Military Police" functioned by suppressing the phrase "to work," erasing the political and social relations resulting from the military police strike and producing meanings that negated or erased the strike as an event.
The contribution of semantics in the debate about gender binarism in language
This article examines the role of semantic phenomena in the maintenance or disruption of gender binarism in Brazilian Portuguese, considering new forms of communication emerging in and from postmodernity. The main theoretical framework draws on the works of Lyons (1979), Bréal (1992), Cançado (2012), Escarpinete and Ferraz (2015), Ferrarezi (2019), and Freitag (2023). The analyzed corpus corresponds to the video entitled Colocamos uma mulher TRANS e uma FEMINISTA RADICAL para conversar (sem que elas soubessem), published on YouTube by the Spotniks channel. The objective was to examine the recurrence and discursive function of the semantic features under analysis in order to understand their role in shaping the meaning effects conveyed by the participants in the debate featured in the video. The findings indicate that semantic resources such as hypernymy, hyponymy, and vagueness may serve as strategies either to subvert or reinforce binarism. Conversely, antonymic relations, through complementarity, tend to be established with the purpose of reinforcing binary logic. This study seeks to contribute to the advancement of research on the relationship between semantics, identity, and gender.
O método das Qualidades Discursivas e letramento acadêmico: relato e análise das práticas de uma disciplina de escrita
Este trabalho tem por objetivo relacionar as práticas de escrita e leitura propostas pelo método das Qualidades Discursivas, de Guedes (2009), com os estudos de letramento. Para isso, em um primeiro momento, trazemos uma contextualização da disciplina de Leitura e Produção de Textos em Língua Portuguesa I, do curso de bacharelado em Letras da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, a fim de explicitar a dinâmica das aulas. Em seguida, descrevemos as práticas de leitura e escrita propostas na disciplina a fim de explicitá-las pelas lentes dos estudos de letramento, identificando os mediadores de cada prática. A partir dessas relações, a hipótese defendida é a de que, mesmo não utilizando os termos canônicos dos estudos de letramento, o método das Qualidades Discursivas e as práticas propostas a partir dele proporcionam a criação de uma zona de segurança, na qual todos os envolvidos atuam, de certa maneira, como mediadores de letramento

CONECTORES “COM ISSO” E “COM ISTO” EM PERSPECTIVA PANCRÔNICA
Este artigo objetiva investigar se os usos conectores de “com isso” e “com isto” na sincronia atual espelham o percurso de mudança que tem sido atestado por meio de pesquisa em andamento sob viés pancrônico. Para tanto, recorremos ao modelo de construcionalidade, postulado por Rosário e Lopes (2019, 2023). Segundo a perspectiva dos autores, é possível antever passos pretéritos de mudança linguística por meio da sincronia. O trabalho fundamenta-se nos pressupostos teóricos da Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso (ROSÁRIO e OLIVEIRA, 2016; TRAUGOTT e TROUSDALE, 2021 [2013] entre outros). A trajetória de mudança na diacronia pauta-se na taxonomia contextual proposta por Diewald (2006). O Corpus do Português, aba Now, constitui fonte de coleta dos dados da atual sincronia. Os dados diacrônicos são extraídos dos corpora Vercial e Tycho Brahe, acessados pelo site Linguateca.com. A análise das ocorrências é feita sob uma abordagem quali-quantitativa (LACERDA, 2016; LOPES, 2022). Ao que tudo indica e conforme tem sido atestado no estudo pancrônico em andamento, a mudança de “com isso” e “com isto” é favorecida por um rearranjo sintático a partir da função adverbial. O deslocamento para a margem esquerda possibilita menor vinculação com o elemento subordinador (verbo) e a manifestação de novos sentidos.
CLASSIFICATION TREE FOR THE STUDY OF CORRELATION BETWEEN VARIABLES IN LINGUISTIC USAGE DATA: CONSTRIBUTIONS OF ORANGE DATA MINING SOFTWARE
There is a basic prerogative from both the Sociolinguistic and Functionalist perspectives that phenomena undergoing variation and change do not occur randomly, but rather are motivated or conditioned by factors of a social, structural or cognitive nature. In this paper, we aim to show the potential contributions of the classification tree widget, available in the Orange Data Mining Software. The tool serves as a predictive method and, to this end, uses logistic regression calculations for the hierarchical description of how predictor variables potentially condition outcome variables. This statistical resource – also known by the term conditional inference regression tree (cf. Hothorn; Hornik; Zeileis, 2006; Speybroeck, 2012) – presents a user-friendly interface in Orange Data Mining, compared to the R language. As an illustration of the contribution of this tool to research in language usage, we describe the impact of three predictor variables on the instatiation of two linguistic constructions, both formed by the same sequence of elements – preposition sem + verb dicenci –, namely: the hypotactic adverbial negative modal or conditional clause (e.g.: ele saiu sem falar com ninguém); the discourse structuring marker of addition (e.g.: ele faltou hoje. Sem falar que, quando vem, sempre chega atrasado).
LINGUISTIC VARIATION AND ITS CULTURAL REPRESENTATION IN THE TEXTBOOK “BRASIL INTERCULTURAL”
Abstract: This article aims to investigate how the concepts of language and culture are represented in the textbook Brasil Intercultural - Língua e Cultura Brasileira para Estrangeiros (Intercultural Brazil - Brazilian Language and Culture for Foreigners). The analysis focuses on the appropriateness of discourse, linguistic variation, and cultural representation, particularly regarding the anaphoric resumption of the third-person direct object. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative-interpretative approach, based on document analysis. The textbook is examined through the lens of Educational Sociolinguistics and compared with Gramática Brasileira para Falantes de Espanhol (CARVALHO, BAGNO, 2015). The findings indicate that the textbook does not address the potential intercultural nuances in the use of the third-person direct object, limiting its treatment to grammatical exercises and under-representing linguistic variations and discursive contexts. This study seeks to emphasize to teachers of Portuguese as a Foreign Language the importance of acting as intercultural agents, transcending the textbook contents through their training and teaching practices.
ALTERIDADE E NOÇÕES DE FEMINILIDADE NOS SERVIÇOS DE STREAMING
This article aims to investigate the construction of the notion of femininity of the character Jules from the series Euphoria, based on Bakhtin's (2011) postulates about alterity. We start from the representation of LGBTQIAPN+ subjects presents in media services and how they construct and perceive their own bodies in the development of their narratives. We will carry out a qualitative and interpretative research approach, having as a method of analysis the methodological contributions of the verbivocovisuality (Paula and Luciano, 2020), applied to the episodes: Shook One, Pt. II and Fuck Anyone Who's Not a Sea Blob – Part 2: Jules. We realize that Jules, initially, links her femininity to the desires of the people she lives with and it is only through her personal maturity that she begins to build her femininity based on her own tastes, without overlooking the interference of others in this process of construction.
SEMIOTIZAÇÃO, VISADA ARGUMENTATIVA E EFEITOS DE MANIPULAÇÃO NO DISCURSO PUBLICITÁRIO
o artigo discute o fenômeno da manipulação em perspectiva discursiva, a partir do pressuposto de que o contrato de comunicação publicitário regula o emprego de estratégias argumentativas que rompem o limite da visada de influência, resultando em efeitos de manipulação. Em tempos de pós-verdade, o tema se apresenta relevantemente, tendo em vista a expansão, durante e após a pandemia de Covid-19, das interações sociais por meio de mídias digitais. Após breve exposição de princípios e conceitos teóricos, com ênfase na teoria semiolinguística (Charaudeau, 1992, 2008), a análise de dois discursos publicitários deve ilustrar uma perspectiva de como os interlocutores do mundo atual podem estar ainda mais suscetíveis à manipulação, sobretudo quando se trata da argumentação que busca tocar afetivamente o público-alvo.
DIVERSIDADE LINGUÍSTICA E DIVERSIDADE CULTURAL E SUAS IMPLICAÇÕES NO DESENHO CURRICULAR EM ANGOLA
A diversidade linguística em Angola é acompanhada por uma diversidade cultural, considerando que a língua reflecte os costumes e tradições dos seus falantes. Se, por um lado, esta heterogeneidade pode ser um factor dinamizador, por outro pode constituir problema, especialmente no domínio do ensino-aprendizagem, dada a tendência para a padronização de programas escolares, sem consideração das desigualdades linguísticas associadas às diferenças socioculturais das várias comunidades de falantes. A prova disso são as várias lacunas em termos de habilidades comunicativas com que nos confrontamos diariamente na actividade docente, o que nos leva a procurar maximizar as oportunidades de aprendizagem dos estudantes através do desenvolvimento de diferentes estratégias de ensino que tenham em conta as diferenças culturais, usando como base os pressupostos teóricos de Banks (2014, 2016). Este artigo pretende reflectir sobre a cultura como mediadora na planificação curricular, dado o seu papel na produção de conhecimento. Procurando responder à questão “Em que medida a intersecção entre cultura, identidade e currículo pode servir como factor potenciador para o desenvolvimento curricular no contexto angolano?”, pretendemos, através de pesquisa bibliográfica, demonstrar como aqueles elementos podem servir de pano de fundo para um desenho curricular que responda às expectativas da sociedade.
LINGUISTIC EDUCATION AND DECOLONIALITY: EXPLORING CRITICAL LITERACIES THROUGH THE BOOK QUARTO DE DESPEJO BY CAROLINA MARIA DE JESUS
This article investigates the intersections between linguistic education and decoloniality, based on Quarto de Despejo by Carolina Maria de Jesus. Grounded in critical literacy theories (Jordão, 2012; Freire, 1980) and decolonial pedagogy (Quijano, 2009; Dussel, 1993), the study argues that literature can serve as an essential tool for reflecting on structural inequalities and valuing marginalized narratives. Through a pedagogical project conducted with high school students, connections were explored between the experiences portrayed by Carolina and local realities, proposing educational practices that foster (linguistic) critical emancipation and social awareness. Furthermore, the analysis engages with ethnographic perspectives (Clifford & Marcus, 1986) and the redefinition of plural knowledge systems (Duboc & Gattolin, 2015). The article highlights the importance of educational practices that transcend modern paradigms and integrate diverse epistemologies, promoting resistance to inequalities and social transformation.
ESTRATÉGIAS DE ENSINO NO LETRAMENTO DE ALUNOS DE TERCEIRA IDADE NA AULA DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA
The main objective of this article is to discuss how the Portuguese language teacher can improve his didactic strategies in the literacy of students belonging to the elderly who seek to learn to read in that language. In this article, we seek to intersect theoretical aspects of Applied Linguistics, such as teaching the mother tongue and the transdisciplinarity of this area of ​​knowledge, interconnecting them with Literacy Studies in a sociocultural perspective with regard to the literacy and schooling of the elderly. The methodology of this research report is a qualitative bibliographic with regard to data analysis, collected through investigations in materials already published, in particular, scientific articles, dissertations and theses, in addition to others that served as the basis for the discussions.
ANALYSIS OF THE MICROTOPONYMY OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF RIACHÃO – MARANHÃO, BRAZIL Autor 1
This work is part of the activities of the Language, Culture, History and Power – LINCHI study group, responsible for the project Toponymic Atlas of the State of Maranhão: Analysis of Macro and Microtoponymy, developed at the State University of Maranhão, Brazil. The study presents names of small human settlements and physical features present in the city of Riachão, Maranhão, Brazil, a municipality in which there are large numbers of waterfalls and rich aquifers, located in the center of the tourist center called “Caminho das Águas”, in the Chapada das Mesas region. This potential instigates the investigation of the names of these places, with the classification and analysis of the characteristic hydronyms, oronyms and microtoponyms, based on the onomastic-toponymic theory with the methodological postulates of Dick (1990, 1992) and Isquerdo (2012), in which a taxonomic classification is carried out in a qualitative and quantitative approach. The objective is to present the contributions raised for the preparation of the aforementioned atlas, specifically selecting the names, identifying the motivations for the names and classifying them according to the taxonomies, subdividing them into two classification groups: taxonomies of a physical nature (names related to the natural environment) and of an anthropocultural nature (related to human activities). Through documentary research in the official database of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE).
O GERENCIAMENTO DA ESCUTA DE ORIENTAÇÕES EM UMA COMPETIÇÃO DE BODYBOARD E EM UMA AULA DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Em uma interação, de uma maneira geral, os interagentes organizam suas tomadas de turno para empreenderem novas ações com base na demonstração de que compreenderam a ação previamente empreendida junto a uma orientação para agir em resposta a essa ação anterior. Para tanto, é preciso que os interagentes demonstrem que escutaram o que foi dito anteriormente, ao mesmo tempo em que igualmente demonstrem que compreenderam a ação implementada antes. Fundamentado nos princípios da Análise da Conversa de base etnometodológica e a partir da análise de dois cenários marcadamente distintos, este artigo tem como objetivo principal a descrição e análise de uma interação ocorrida em um campeonato de bodyboard, representativa quando comparada a uma interação que se desenrola em uma aula do 1º ano do ensino fundamental. No primeiro cenário, o fato de os interagentes estarem a uma longa distância entre si faz com que a demonstração de escuta se desenvolva de uma maneira bem marcada, se configurando como um episódio em que a tentativa reiterada de fornecer informação demonstradamente necessária à competidora leva-a a aproveitar os momentos finais da disputa. Em contrapartida, no segundo cenário, as ações verbais e corporificadas da professora, ao constanger o estudante a confirmar a escuta de uma orientação anterior, leva-o a produzir ações responsivas condizentes com esse constrangimento.

A CRIAÇÃO DA CENOGRAFIA LITERÁRIA DO DISCURSO O PERU DE NATAL DE MÁRIO DE ANDRADE – UM ELO ENTRE A FAMÍLIA, O PERU E O NATAL
This article examines literary scenography, focusing on the enunciation in which the voice of a son and the spatiotemporal coordinates within a discursive event of fatherhood, affiliation, and mourning structure the literary discourse in O peru de Natal by Mário de Andrade. We draw on the French tradition of Discourse Analysis (DA), particularly its enunciative-discursive perspective, emphasizing Maingueneau's hypothesis of literary discourse, which views literature as a linguistic dimension of the text. Literary discourse fits within the framework of its constituents and assumes properties relative to its conditions of emergence, functioning, and circulation. Our hypothesis is that literary scenography, society, and traditions shape Mário de Andrade's subjectivity and integrate the socio-historical conditions of discourse production. Our findings confirm scenography as both a condition and product of discourse, involving a paratopic process that legitimizes this type of discourse. Moreover, O peru de Natal, through its developments, engages with the literary movement, validates the expression of a son's suffering and misfortunes as he attempts to overcome familial and personal mourning during a Christmas gathering. Mário de Andrade, as the agent of the creative process, finds no other means of linguistic-literary investment but discursive production.
Abstract: From the point of view of normative grammars and from the syntactic point of view, the apposition is considered an accessory term of the sentence (CEGALLA, 2005; CUNHA; CINTRA, 2007), a perspective that finds an echo in textbooks (TESOTO; DISCINI, 1994; TERRA; CAVALLETE, 2002; SARMENTO, 2009; OLIVEIRA, 2012). It is, therefore, a term that can be removed without prejudice to the structure of the sentence. From a functional-communicative point of view, the apposition plays an important syntactic-pragmatic role, contributing to the degree of informativeness in the multipropositional discourse (GIVÓN, 1984; 1995; 2001). The objective of this work is to analyze the syntactic function in the discourse, the product of the communicative act. To this end, a qualitative approach is offered with fifteen news titles, taken from online newspaper sites, about the dog Wilson, involved in the rescue of children missing after a plane crash in Colombia on the first day of May 2015. Results show that the explanatory apposition demands a greater degree of informativeness and, therefore, a greater linguistic coding, precisely because it needs to retrieve information in the memory of the potential newspaper reader, due to the fact that it is a genre linked to digital platforms and the speed with which information and other content is disclosed.
