Filiadas à Linguística, um campo que, tradicionalmente, debate-se com os limites das teorias linguísticas em si mesmas, apreendemos as linhas de nossa área, a Linguística Aplicada, e encontramos as lacunas com que temos insistido lidar desde então, as quais estão fundamentalmente relacionadas a um mesmo aspecto: o ensino e a aprendizagem de linguagem, processos indissociáveis e fundamentais para o desenvolvimento humano, sendo explorados a partir de teorias linguísticas. As teorias pedagógicas, pois, têm ocupado nosso espaço de estudos e pesquisas, já que são elas — e seus fundamentos filosóficos — que elucidam a que se deve o processo educativo, no sentido de revelarem um...
The written word has taught a way of being. Since the written version of language is visible and permanent, many of our attitudes to and normative assumptions about language - and human communication in general - derive from our experiences of written language. In recent years, scholars from such disciplines as history, anthropology, education and linguistics have joined forces to readdress issues surrounding the problems of the relationship between oral and written language. The lessons to be learnt are fascinating and imply that many of the assumptions we hold concerning language and the human condition are neither "natural" nor universal; rather, they build on highly specific norms and at...

Cities are perhaps one of humanity's most complex creations, never finished, never definitive. They are like a journey that never ends. Their evolution is determined by their ascent into greatness or their descent into decline. They are the past, the present and the future. Cities contain both order and chaos. In them reside beauty and ugliness, virtue and vice. They can bring out the best or the worst in humankind. They are the physical manifestation of history and culture and incubators of innovation, industry, technology, entrepreneurship and creativity. Cities are the materialization of humanity's noblest ideas, ambitions and aspirations but when not planned or governed properly, can be ...
Student Writing presents an accessible and thought-provoking study of academic writing practices. Informed by 'composition' research from the US and 'academic literacies studies' from the UK, the book challenges current official discourse on writing as a 'skill'. Lillis argues for an approach which sees student writing as social practice. The book draws extensively on a three-year study with ten non-traditional students in higher education and their experience of academic writing. Using case study material - including literacy history interviews, extended discussions with students about their writing of discipline specific essays, and extracts from essays - Lillis identifies the following as...

Through his research over the years, Dr Supalla, who is deaf, has identified the name sign system which has a pattern to forming and giving name signs within the deaf communities.
