Percursos de uma Política Linguística no Brasil
Esta obra de autoria coletiva e multidisciplinar traz um conjunto de artigos que versam sobre o cenário atual de uma política linguística no Brasil, abordando pontos atinentes à política e planificação linguística, seja no que diz respeito à documentação e conservação linguística, planejamento, difusão e ensino, tanto de línguas vernaculares como estrangeiras, de herança ou autóctones.
Da Diversidade à Desigualdade
Filiada à linha de pesquisa Discurso: Sujeito, História e Ideologia, este trabalho apresenta os resultados de uma investigação que, a partir da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, busca compreender a forma pela qual o discurso acerca da diversidade regional do Brasil, presente nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, deriva e produz, no livro didático, o efeito de sentido de desigualdade, quer nas informações referentes aos aspectos físicos das regiões brasileiras, quer nas referências a seus aspectos culturais. O que se pretende com esta análise é observar a maneira como a formação ideológica do capitalismo constrói discursos que produzem efeitos de sentido pautados por u...
Language Variation as Social Practice
This volume provides an ethnographically rich account of sociolinguistic variation in an adolescent population.
Pragmatics and Prosody
Most of the papers collected in this book resulted from presentations and discussions undertaken during the V Lablita Workshop that took place at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, on August 23-25, 2011. The workshop was held in conjunction with the II Brazilian Seminar on Pragmatics and Prosody. The guiding themes for the joint event were illocution, modality, attitude, information patterning and speech annotation. Thus, all papers presented here are concerned with theoretical and methodological issues related to the study of speech. Among the papers in this volume, there are different theoretical orientations, which are mirrored through the methodological designs of studies pursued. However, all papers are based on the analysis of actual speech, be it from corpora or from experimental contexts trying to emulate natural speech. Prosody is the keyword that comes out from all the papers in this publication, which indicates the high standing of this category in relation to studies that are geared towards the understanding of major elements that are constitutive of the structuring of speech.
The Limits of Grammaticalization
The earliest use of the term grammaticalization was to refer to the process whereby lexical words of a language (such as English keep in he keeps bees) become grammatical forms (such as the auxiliary in he keeps looking at me). Changes of this kind, which involve semantic fading and a downshift from a major to a minor category, have generally been agreed to come under the heading of grammaticalization. But other changes that equally contribute to new grammatical forms do not involve this kind of fading. In recent years, a debate has arisen over how to constrain the term theoretically. Is grammaticalization to be distinguished from lexicalization, the creation and fixing of ne...
Context and Culture in Language Teaching and Learning
The chapters in this book all address the significance of the relationship between the aims and methods of language teaching and the contexts in which it takes place. Some consider the implications for the ways in which we research language teaching; others present the results of research and development work.

A searingly funny and passionate fictional monologue of woman who refuses to accept the constraints of life in 1950s Brazil.
A River Called Time
"Mariano, who has lived in the city from an early age, is summoned back to his village to attend his grandfather's funeral. But when he arrives, he discovers two things: firstly, that he has been nominated by his grandfather to take over the running of the family affairs, secondly that his grandfather has not died completely, but is in that frontier space between life and death. In traditional belief, he has died 'badly', and something must happen in order for him to be laid to rest." "Mariano starts to receive letters supposedly written by his grandfather, telling him about the family. Through this strange relationship, he discovers the true secret of his own birth, while also cleansing his grandfather's conscience."--BOOK JACKET.
Man, Play, and Games
According to Roger Caillois, play is an occasion of pure waste. In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this study, the author defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life.
George Washington's False Teeth
