Partant de la conception que le système linguistique du portugais brésilien n’est pas homogène en raison de la diversité culturelle de notre pays qui finit par influencer la langue dans son aspect diastratique, comme diatopique, diachronique et diaphasique, nous supposons que les personnes souffrant d’une handicap, ces phénomènes seront perçus en fonction de leurs particularités. En particulier, en ce qui concerne les malvoyants, ils n’utilisent que l’ouïe pour comprendre/ réaliser la langue parlée et, dans le cas de la langue écrite, ils utiliseront le toucher à la fois pour lire et écrire en braille, outre l’utilisation des technologies d’assistance. Contrairement aux aveugles, les personnes ayant une vision conventionnelle, lorsqu’elles entendent ou lisent quelque chose qui crée un doute dans leur compréhension de ce qui est exposé, recourent à la vision en confirmant ou non leurs hypothèses. Alors, comment les aveugles captentils cette conscience linguistique, puisqu’il y a une absence de sens utilisé pour vérifier la véracité de ce qui est entendu? En y réfléchissant, l’intérêt pour le développement de cette recherche est né de l’enseignement de la langue pour les personnes qui ne voient pas, conventionnellement, et de l’observation de leur appréhension quant à la réception et la production des variétés présentes dans la langue. À cette fin, nous avons pour objectif de décrire les facteurs qui motivent l’identification de la variation linguistique des étudiants aveugles de l’État de Paraíba au Brésil, ainsi que d’identifier les perceptions énonciatives des variations sociales et linguistiques de ce public, analyser les perceptions des aveugles et des voyants et comparer ces informations perceptives des aveugles aux voyants. Cela dit, la base théorique a été basée sur les études de Vygotsky (1997) sur la théorie de la compensation, Bagno (2007) sur la variation linguistique, Labov (2008) et Tarallo (2002) en ce qui concerne la sociolinguistique, entre autres références. En conséquence, nous comprenons comment se présentent les conceptions sous-jacentes impliquées dans le processus de perception de la langue liée aux énoncés oraux, de diverses régions du Brésil, selon les personnes sans vision conventionnelle.

In the era of Convergence Culture, the exponential spread of multisemiotic texts reflects the dynamic intersection of various media forms. The convergence of media platforms allows for the synergistic fusion of visual, auditory, and verbal elements, creating rich and immersive narratives. In this scenario, intertextuality plays a crucial role as cross-references and allusions to other works intertwine, expanding layers of meaning. This phenomenon not only challenges conventional language barriers but also redefines the consumer experience, providing a web of meaningful connections and pushing the boundaries of contemporary storytelling. Given this context, we emphasize that the object of study for this dissertation encompasses a complex series, composed of diverse semiotics that converge to create a rich and multifaceted narrative experience. The research corpus specifically focuses on the analysis of the series La Casa de Papel. Furthermore, our main objective is to analyze intertextual elements and multisemiotic resources in the mentioned series, aiming to understand how these elements contribute to the production of interactive meanings. To achieve this intention, we inquire about how intertextual elements and multisemiotic resources in the series La Casa de Papel contribute to the construction of interactive meanings and if/how these indicators influence the formation of an affinity relationship between viewers and characters. To underpin this approach, we rely on Kress and van Leeuwen's Visual Design Grammar (1996; 2006), particularly focusing on Interactional Meaning. This concept explores interactive relations unfolding between participants represented in images and observers, considering elements such as contact, social distance, perspective, and modality to generate meaningful effects. Additionally, we adopt the analytical model proposed by Mozdzenski (2013), which emphasizes observing intertextual relationships along a typological continuum. The theoretical framework is based on studies by authors such as Jenkins (2013); Halliday (1978); R. Pratten (2015); Almeida (2012) and Koch, Bentes, and Cavalcante (2008); Genette (1979; 2010); O'Halloran (2012; 2014); Davidson et al (2010); Roig (2009); Kristeva (1969; 1974), among others. The research adopts a qualitative approach, aligning with the conceptual and methodological prognoses of Kress and van Leeuwen's Visual Design Grammar. In conclusion, we aim to offer a thorough analysis of intertextual and multisemiotic mechanisms present in the series, providing insights into how these elements contribute to creating a unique interactive experience for viewers. This study will not only enrich the academic understanding of contemporary television practices but also provide a solid foundation for reflections on the crucial role of visual language in constructing interactive narratives and forming emotional connections between the audience and characters.

This dissertation is directly related to the line of research Literature, Culture and Representation, which is being developed in the Postgraduate program in Language Sciences – PPCL. This research deals with aspects that constitute the deployment of Baroque in Latin America in contemporary times under the sign of Neobaroque. Magdalena Frida Kahlo, among pains, pleasures, losses, struggles and loves, is representative figure related to everything that is libertarian and revolutionary, both in her personal life and in her works. Based on this premise, we will study The Diary of Frida Kahlo: an intimate self-portrait referring to a corpus limited to pages of visual arts and written lines that make up the diary genre of the great Mexican painter, seeking approaches to iconography and words throughout of the work. The objective of this research is also to identify the visual artistic elements with a Latin American neobaroque aesthetic vision in the work of Frida Kahlo (2012). To achieve such results, we will then follow three paths that will guide us in this study: the first is that of the Neobaroque theory - which also embraces the sarduyan baroque conceptualization - which we will focus on from theories from the 19th century to the more contemporary studies about the IberoAmerican Neobaroque, which depart from the baroque pioneering of Wölffin (2012), to reach contemporary studies about aesthetics as represented by researchers such as Tabosa (2023) and Severo Sarduy (1979; 1989) who deal with artifices of the Baroque and Neobaroque as a Keplerian ellipse; d’Ors (1990) who presents the Baroque as a perennial historical and aesthetic constant; Arriarán (2007) and Zamora (2011), which relates the art of the great Mexican visual artist with Mexican Baroque painting; and Calabrese (1987) who presents us with fractals related to Baroque visual culture. Our second theoretical concerns the diary genre and its relationships with the transcribed corpus presented in the work under study, which is of fundamental importance for understanding this research. To do this, we take as a basis the theorists Foucault (1992) and Lejeune (2008), who motivate us to study the diary genre and understand the study of the oneself. The third concerns the critical fortunes of the revolutionary painter, feminist and libertarian woman. The review of the literature about politicized woman and visual artists goes through the feminist studies of Korsmeyer (2021), Mirkin (2017), Torres (2011) and goes into the studies of Berté (2018; 2020), Herrera (2011), and Nonaka (2010), which relates the painter's life and work to important historical highlights that will help us as a theoretical basis to reach our conclusion that Frida's art presents a relationship with neobaroque aesthetics. 

Al relacionar la Literatura Chicana con la teoría decolonial de género, esta disertación de maestría presenta un análisis de la obra A casa na Rua Mango (2020) escrita por la Chicana Sandra Cisneros, poniendo en evidencia su contribución para el desarrollo de una identidad chicana y feminista. Basado en el pensamiento feminista decolonial a partir de los presupuestos teóricos de exponentes de la crítica decolonial latinoamericana como Lugones (2005, 2014, 2020), Paredes (2013, 2020), Palermo (2014) y Espiñosa (2020), el estudio investiga la construcción del femenino en la obra A casa na Rua Mango (2020) bajo tres perspectivas: la representación de la casa, el género y la identidad chicana desde la mirada de la decolonialidad. Además, se desarrolla un análisis acerca de la relevancia de la casa para la construcción de una identidad feminista desde el punto de vista de la protagonista Esperanza Cordero, incluso el posicionamiento de los demás personajes cisnerianos frente al choque cultural de dos mundos discrepantes representados desde la expresión del sentimiento de segregación y destierro. Partiendo de la premisa de que la literatura tiene el poder de representar la pluralidad étnica, cultural e ideológica, esta investigación invita a reconocer la relevancia de la Literatura Chicana escrita por mujeres y su creciente participación en la lucha por la deconstrucción del concepto colonial de género. Para comprender los aspectos que involucran la lucha feminista de las mujeres chicanas dentro y fuera del campo literario, se hizo necesario adentrarse en los ensayos de Alarcón (1988, 1995) y Castillo (1995, 2005). En cuanto al aporte teórico utilizado para señalar los problemas que componen la marginación del grupo social chicano, está constituido principalmente por la escritora Anzaldúa (2000, 2009, 2016) y BruceNovoa (1990, 1999) al tratar la cultura fronteriza y la contextualización de la Literatura Chicana en paralelo con los presupuestos de las teóricas feministas decoloniales antes mencionadas. Por medio de las historias narradas por la protagonista Esperanza Cordero en A casa na Rua Mango (2020), la escritora chicana extiende la comprensión del hogar como espacio de acogimiento y liberación, decolonizando la representación de la casa como lugar de enclaustramiento femenino.

This research starts from the hypothesis that, although inserted in seemingly different contexts,
the protagonists Anne Shirley, from the work Anne of Green Gables, by Canadian L. M.
Montgomery, and Capitu, from the novel Dom Casmurro, by Brazilian Machado de Assis,
display considerable similarities as female literary characters. It questions which aspects and
stereotypes of female representation can be identified in both of them. The objective of this
dissertation is to individually analyze the protagonists in their respective works and contexts,
identifying and describing their characteristics, with the feminist literary criticism as
foundation. After that, it aims to comparatively analyze the two of them, in order to identify
how they are similar or divergent in their adhesion and/or ruptures with female characters’
stereotypes, which permeate the literary canon. In order to achieve its goals, the research will
use the ideas of the feminist movement, which, in short, fights for the end of woman’s
oppression and discrimination, as well as that of ethnic, social, sexual, and racial minorities.
Considering that feminism has entered sectors of society such as the academic one and, as a
consequence, sociological and literary studies, it is in concepts proposed by these that this
research grounds itself. Its analyses are guided by the strand of feminist literary criticism which
focuses on the production and reception of literary works by women, taking into consideration
their different experiences in a society that represses, oppresses, and discriminates them. The
north of this research is the branch of this criticism which studies the representation of female
figures as literary characters, analyzing the social, historical, and cultural contexts in which the
story was written, and not depending on the sex of its author. It has a descriptive and explanatory
nature, having made bibliographic researches and qualitative analyses, which in some cases
contradicted themselves. Moreover, as bibliographic research, it used texts by Alves and
Pitanguy (1985), Beauvoir (2009), Donovan (2006) and hooks (2015) on the feminist
movement; by Butler (1990), Confortin (2003) and Scott (1990) on questions of gender; and by
Alós e Oliveira (2021), Queiroz (1997), Showalter (2004) and Zolin (2009) on feminist literary
criticism. As a means of contextualization, it used biographies of the corpus’s authors,
Montgomery’s being by Kjelle (2005), and Assis’ by Martino (2015). Texts such as Bacchi’s
(1982) on feminism in Canada, D’Incao’s (2004) on bourgeoise woman in Brazil, Perrot’s
(2007) on women’s history, and Ribeiro’s (1996) on female characters by Assis have also been
used. As a result, it was observed that both Anne and Capitu in some moments adhere to the
patterns that dictate woman’s behavior and existence in the society of the end of the nineteenth
and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Concomitant and paradoxically, in other moments
they break these patterns, as well as with stereotypes and images that revolve around the female
literary figure. Because of its qualitative nature, the research does not allow a universal
conclusion, but it ratifies the hypothesis that the characters display substantial similarities, in
both their adherence and ruptures with the pattern, despite their apparent differences.

This research is included in the field of Discourse Analysis (DA) from a French perspective in the light of the contributions of Michel Foucault regarding the studies of discourse and knowledge-power and resistance relationships. In that prism, The objective of this research is to analyze the ethical constitution that permeates the discourses about the black subject in knowledge/power relations in the statements of Instagram profiles, above all, in relation to Black Lives Matter, which is a campaign against violence directed at black people and racial discrimination issues. This way, we will have as a central question: “How does the ethical constitution of black subjects occur in social media, given the intrinsic knowledge-power relationship that permeates them?”. Initially, we portray the history of DA and its categories of analysis, followed by an approach on race, structural racism, blackness, place of speech and intersectionality. Regarding methodological procedures, we perceive that the research belongs to the qualitative method of bibliographic character, interpretive and criticalas well as the archaeological method, because they work with the mechanisms that help in the construction of meaning effects of the posts made on the Instagram social network. So, we chose to work on categories such as: "discourse", “discursive formation”, “discursive memory”, “statement”, “Power and Resistance” and “ethics”. We will have as corpus 08 posts, which bring verbal and image statements taken exclusively from Instagram, and that circulate in the virtual media. Regarding the results, we perceive that the ethical constitution of black subjects considered from the point of view of knowledge-power relations still undergoes several reformulations, and that happens, principally, by the hate discourses and structural racism that affect the lives of these subjects over the course of centuries. In addition, we found that, through the media, specifically the digital, these bodies demonstrate empowerment and resistance, fighting against racism and formulating anti-racist discourses. Thus, we can consider that despite oppression and violence, the black subject emerges proud of his skin and occupies a social position as a spokesperson for the resistance.

This dissertation is inserted in the Discourse Analysis area with emphasis on Michel Foucault’s contributions to the discourse studies and the subjectivity production. It aims to analyze the effects of the socio-educational practices at the Provisional Socio-educational Service Center – CASEP West/Mossoró-RN, on the subject that is produced there from the exercise of power. Our Hypothesis, in the case of socio-educational practices applied to adolescents accused of an infraction, considers the existence of a device through which we can reflect on socio-educational and the production of the subject in this system. To develop this research we elected the following guiding question: How does the power act in the production of the subject in a socio-educational process at CASEP West? The analysis will focus on the relationship between the norm and disciplinary practices within the institution and their effects on the socio-educational process. The elements of the corpus will comprise the Statute of the Child and Adolescent – ECA, The National System of Socio-Educational Assistance – SINASE, the Political Pedagogical Project (PPP) of West CASEP, the Internal Regulations of Socio-Educational Units – State Ordinance No. 250/2019-GP, the Brazilian Penal Execution Law – LEP, the Institution’s Occurrence Books, posts on the official FUNDASE Facebook page and news published on websites. From a methodological point of view, this research refers to Foucauldian’s arqueogenealogy to analyze the process of subjectivation that takes place, through disciplinary power (2004) and Biopower (2005, 2008), from the socio-educational practices applied at the institution WEST CASEP with adolescents in deprivation of liberty. The analyzes showed that the practices in the socio-educational institution are similar to the practices used in prision and may be responsible for the existing dissymmetry between the socio-educational guidelines, materialized in documents that guide the SINASE policy, the ECA principles, and the practices of the socio-educational institutions.

La Pragmática y la Gramática del Diseño Visual son dos áreas que estudian el comportamiento lingüístico en los diversos contextos comunicativos. La primera, mediante los actos de habla, analiza los elementos implícitos tanto verbales como extralingüísticos. La segunda, por su turno, por medio de la matafunción de interacción, investiga los aspectos interaccionales existentes en los contextos visuales. Con eso y teniendo en cuenta que la lengua posee diversos significados y funciones, el objetivo general de esta investigación consistió en realizar un análisis pragmático-multimodal de los actos de habla directivos y compromisivos condicionantes. Para el aporte teórico, nos basamos en autores como Lopes (2018), Levinson (2007), Searle (1994), en relación a los estudios pragmáticos; Kress y van Leeuwen (2020) y Novellino (2007), cuanto a las investigaciones de la Gramática del Diseño Visual. Lo que concierne a la metodología abordada, utilizamos un abordaje cualitativo de estudio de caso, con fines descriptivos y explicativos. En relación al corpus, utilizamos los enunciados de dos personajes de la producción La casa de las flores - La película, así como las imágenes del momento que los actos son producidos. Respecto al procedimiento del análisis, presentamos las intenciones comunicativas de los interlocutores en la producción conjunta de los actos de habla directivos y compromisivos, exponemos las relaciones de sentido existentes entre esos actos de habla y describimos los elementos multimodales presentes en las imágenes mediante la metafunción de interacción. Tras el análisis y discusión del corpus, como algunos resultados obtenidos, verificamos que las intenciones comunicativas de los actos de habla fueron, entre otras, cambiar la conducta del interlocutor, incentivar el receptor a acatar pedidos y órdenes, lograr alcanzar la confianza del oyente, contradecir a una afirmación. Cuanto a la correlación de sentidos existentes en la producción conjunta de los actos de habla directivos y compromisivos, identificamos que poseen relaciones de pedido/promesa, pregunta/respuesta, orden/compromiso y vínculos de obediencia. Además de eso, comprobamos que los elementos visuales analizados por la metafunción de interacción sirvieron tanto para identificar los aspectos implícitos de los mensajes transmitidos como para constatar el tipo de acto de habla producido. Al fin y al cabo, pretendemos que este estudio sirva de impulso para la realización de nuevas investigaciones que integren la Pragmática y la Gramática del Diseño Visual y que sea útil para la práctica docente a partir de la inserción de los estudios pragmáticos y multimodales direccionados a la comprensión de textos.

This study aims to analyze the decolonial traits of the work A cor da ternura (2017), by the writer Geni Mariano Guimarães, pointing out her contribution in the literary study to discuss the protagonism through the character Geni, who transcends from childhood, to adolescence and into adulthood. For this purpose, this research is divided into three parts, namely: the first is a more accurate study of the theory that encompasses decoloniality and feminism; the second, focused on literary aspects, surveys black Brazilian female authors who were precursors of the writer, in order to understand the winding path that black women have traced in Afro-Brazilian literature; and, finally, an interpretative analysis of the character Geni in the work A cor da ternura (2017), discussing aspects of her precocious protagonism developed from childhood, presenting decolonial thoughts and attitudes through her protagonism until the beginning of the adult phase, paying attention to to the autofictional aspects of the work. To this end, a bibliographical study and an interpretation of critical analysis were scrutinized that investigated the necessary contribution to foster and consolidate this research, in which we cite some replicators of the subject that were fundamental for the structuring of this work: in literary theory Augel (2011, 2021), Bernd (1988), Bonnici and Zolin (2019), Dalcastagnè (2005, 2008), Duarte (2009, 2011, 2013, 2014), Evaristo (2005, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2020); in decolonialism in Bernardino-Costa, Maldonado-Torres and Grosfoguel (2020), Gomes (2020), González (2020), Hollanda (2020), Kilomba (2019, 2020), and in feminism Hooks (2014), Collins (2016, 2020) , Oyêwùmí (2020). Based on these subsidies, an interpretation of critical analysis was carried out for this argument that intends to add to other existing research with the purpose of strengthening the literature of female and black Brazilian authorship, disseminating and praising the literary work of these black women who fought and fight to become seen and appreciated within a culture that still persists in female and black exclusion.

The discursive genres emerging from the digital environment have become increasingly present in society’s daily life. Although the use of digital media is a recommendation from the BNCC, it is notorious the gaps that remain about using these tools as environments for elaborating statements and as a tool for teaching textual cohesion. From this perspective, the present work aims to investigate how the anaphoric referential process contributes to the weaving of meanings in posts from the pages Haddad Debochado and Mídia Ninja on the social network Twitter. Based on the assumptions of Textual Linguistics, especially concerning the proposal of Referentiation, we seek to answer the following research question: how does the anaphoric referential process, as a linguistic resource, contribute to the weaving of meanings in posts from the Haddad Debochado and Mídia Ninja pages from the social network Twitter? To reflect on the question at hand, 38 (thirty-eight) publications were selected between December 2022 and January 2023, available on the page Haddad Debochado, whose electronic address is https://twitter.com/HaddadDebochado, and Mídia Ninja available on https://twitter.com/MidiaNINJA, both on the social network Twitter. From this corpus, will be selected posts during the research to compose the analysis and highlight the phenomenon of referencing through anaphora. To this end, the methodological procedures adopted fit into the qualitative and descriptive research studies. Regarding the classification of the technical methods used, this study belongs to the bibliographic and documentary research. To enrich the discussions of the themes addressed in this work, we mainly use Koch's (2020) studies on Textual Linguistics and the notion of text as a theoretical framework; Koch and Elias (2008), Cavalcante (2011, 2014), and Sá (2014), in the discussion on referenciation and the anaphoric processes discussed in the analysis of this work; In addition, the research by Ciulla and Silva (2008) and Sá (2014) supported us on the discursive functions of anaphora. In conclusion, based on the analytical results obtained throughout this work, we found in the corpus of this research that only five of the six classifications proposed by Ciulla and Silva (2008) emerged in our analysis. We justify this fact by reaffirming that the function of aesthetic-stylistic effects usually appears in texts of the literary genre, as the author points out. According to the posts analyzed, the cognitivediscursive function presented is heterogeneous, with the marking of discursive heterogeneity being the most recurrent in the corpus of this research.

On the old grammatical compendium of the normative perspective, it was advocated that the pronominal subject is already sufficiently indicated by the verbal endings. Because of this, many grammarians conceived the fulfillment of this syntactic function as a linguistic construction to be avoided. Moving away from this proposal, from 1995 onwards, authors emerged in Brazil, such as Eugênia Duarte, seeking to demonstrate the hypothesis that filling in the pronominal subject, in addition to being linguistically and extra linguistically motivated, is increasingly recurrent in the talk about cultured people. For this reason, after more than twenty years, it is pertinent to analyze the behavior of the pronominal subject. Resorting to variationist sociolinguistics, this is, therefore, the general objective of this work. To be achieved, the following questions are specifically addressed: has the linguistic research on this linguistic phenomenon been observed by the grammatical tradition? Does normative grammar continue to conceive subject completion as something to prevent? What are the implications arising from the possible rejection of the pronominal subjectfilling mechanism? Answering scientifically to these questions constitutes, therefore, the foundation objective of this research. To this end, a bibliographical analysis carried out of three normative works in which there are studies on the fulfillment of the pronominal subject based on the foundations proposed by Bagno (2012), Castilho (2019), Duarte (1995), Perini (2007), among others, namely: Bechara (2015), Cunha and Cintra (2017), and Rocha Lima (2011). With this investigation, we sought to answer, under the methodological assumptions of qualitative bibliographic research, the previously listed questions regarding the knowledge of using the pronoun in the subject position as a coherent and motivated linguistic process. As for the results, it was possible to give answers to the questions outlined at the north of this work. Therefore, we concluded that the grammatical tradition still relegates more than twenty years of research dedicated to the mechanism of subject completion through pronouns to the extent as it continues to treat this phenomenon as an unnecessary repetition. In addition, it was possible to realize that this rejection comes mainly from the negative conception regarding the phenomenon of linguistic change, as well as from the resistance of normative grammar to admit that, due to the predominant filling of the subject, the system of inflection and the current framework of pronouns have simplified in Brazilian Portuguese. In this way, it was possible not only to conceptually redimension the phenomenon of filling the subject but also to understand the reasons that permeate the still existing negativity about this process of linguistic change.

This work presents a critical analysis about the poetry book The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over the Hills, written by the North-American author Charles Bukowski, published originally in 1969. Inside his verses, it is possible to observe criticisms of the urban environment as well as American society at the time. Surrounding an emphasis on criticism of the city, we aimed to analyze how urban criticism is carried out in Bukowski's lyric, demonstrating how the city is depicted in his poems as a synonym for problems of social, environmental, cultural, personal and economic topics. For this, authors from different areas of study, such as Philosophy, Sociology, and Geography, among others, who had a specific focus at the city, were reviewed, including Bauman (2009), Berman (1986), Bradbury (1989), Lefebvre (2001), Lynch (1999), and Harvey (2008), thus, giving the research a transversal character. To analyze the literary aspects, authors such as Friedrich (1978), Melo Neto (1997), Paz (1993), High (1986), Gray (2012), and Beach (2003) were used. Therefore, the analysis allowed us to observe how the Bukowskian lyric manages to be contemporary, even though it was produced in the first decades of the second half of the previous millennium, as it presents scathing criticism of the American society of the time, having as its scope the urban environment of the city of Los Angeles. Therefore, by producing a representation of the city in the literary area, Charles Bukowski exposes a pessimistic and degrading view of the city as a stronghold of social problems.

This work aims to multimodal-critically analyze posters of the anti-vaccine movement in the United States that deny science regarding vaccination in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it was necessary to understand the theoreticalmethodological approach of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Fairclough (2003), in addition to the contributions of Thompson (1995) and Gramsci (1988) to support studies of negationists ideological-hegemonic aspects in the genre poster, paying attention to the discourse and its entities; in addition, Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2021) Grammar of Visual Design (GVD) was used to support the description and imagery analysis of the corpus. Given the current global context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the difficulties faced in several countries regarding immunization through vaccines, as well as strengthening of the anti-vaccine movement in the United States; ten posters were selected from different US news websites in the period starting in May 2020 until January 2022. Aiming at social change through discursive change, a multimodalcritical discursive analysis of this material was carried out based on the analytical categories of the CDA and GVD. As a result, it is concluded that the discursive genre could be identified as a protest poster, and that in all ten posters, ideologicalhegemonic marks consistent with the scientific denialist discourse were identified. It is expected that, through the investigation of how the negationist ideological-hegemonic discourse, conveyed in posters of the anti-vaccination movement in the United States, is multimodally textualized to deny science in relation to vaccination; that this research contributes both to critical discourse studies as well as to the area of multimodality.

This research aims to carry out a comparative analysis of the verbal politeness
expressed in Spanish by a Brazilian and an Argentinian, based on the interview given
to Spanish teacher Sergi Martin, available on his YouTube channel entitled Sergi
Martin Spanish. The specific objectives undertaken here are: a) to classify the type of
verbal politeness present in the interview with the Brazilian and the Argentinian; b) to
describe the typology of verbal politeness; c) to compare the positive and negative
politeness used by the interviewees, taking into account gender and cultural
differences and d) to transcribe through the system called Val.Es.Co which symbols of
this system are present in the speech of the Brazilian and the Spaniard. The research
has as its theoretical basis the work carried out by Leech (1983) on the maxims of
politeness, the work of Brown and Levinson (1987) on negative and positive verbal
politeness, the work of Bravo (2001) on sociocultural pragmatics and verbal politeness
and the work of Searle (1994) on speech acts. This research is a case study with a
qualitative approach. It is also explanatory and descriptive. The corpus of this work is
made up of statements made by the Brazilian and the Argentinian during the interview.
As a result of the analysis, it was possible to see that Brazilian Dayane predominantly
used positive verbal politeness. In the speeches of the Argentine Sergio, positive
verbal politeness also predominated and only in two specific moments was negative
verbal politeness used.

The variable phenomenon of relativization has been studied in Brazil since the 1970s, with the pioneering research of Mollica (1977). Despite that, little research has been undertaken in the state of Ceará regarding relativization strategies. The few existing ones are restricted to the capital of Ceará, so we did not find any research that focused on the phenomenon under discussion in the countryside of the state. Thus, with the aim of alleviating a gap in studies focused on relativization strategies in the countryside of Ceará, this study aims to present an analysis of the linguistic and extralinguistic factors that condition the variable phenomenon of relativization in the context of prepositioned phrases in spoken Portuguese in Canindé - CE. Through sociolinguistic interviews of the DID type (Dialogue between Informant and Documenter), carried out with 36 informants from Canindé - CE, stratified according to gender (male and female), age group (I- 18 to 29 years old, II- 30 to 49 years old and III- 50 years old onwards) and with education (A- Elementary Education, B- Secondary Education, CUniversity Education), 230 occurrences of relative clauses were catalogued, namely: 18 relative copiers (7.8%), 19 standard relative (8.3%) and 193 cutter relative (83.9%). Through statistical treatment carried out with the aid of the computer software Jamovi (version 2.3), using a significance level of 0.05, in the chi-square test, for the selection of significant independent variables, it was observed that the phenomenon variable of relativization, in Canindé - CE, is conditioned only by linguistic factors. Due to the considerable prevalence of occurrences of relative cutters in the speech of young people, it is concluded that there is, in the speech community analyzed, a possible change underway in favor of the cutter variant.

This study has as its main objective to analyze the phonetic detail of the interdental fricatives
by Brazilian learners in the construction of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and English as an
Additional Language (EAL) interphonology. This research is intended to answer the following
research questions: how do Brazilian learners of EAL produce the phonetic detail of the
interdental fricatives? What linguistic and extra linguistic elements influence their productions?
Grounded on a view of langue as a Complex Adaptive System (CAS) (Larsen-Freeman, 1997;
Larsen-Freeman; Cameron, 2008; Beckner et al., 2009; Baicchi, 2015) and on the multiple
mental representations of the Exemplar Theory (Bybee, 2001; Pierrehumbert, 2001), we
assumed as the main hypothesis that the production of the phonetic detail of the interdental
fricatives by Brazilian learners of EAL is influenced by BP homorganic fricatives and stops.
This study followed a quantitative, quasi-experimental, cross-sectional and intra-participant
design. Data collection involved speech recordings of twelve Brazilian learners of EAL.
Subjects were also controlled by EAL proficiency level, divided in two groups:
Intermediate and Advanced. Two experiments were used to collect data, named ILA1 and
ILA2. ILA1 involved a carrier-sentence reading procedure, while ILA2 involved sentence and
images reading procedure in order to control the graphophonic influence. In this research, we
analyzed the categorical dependent variable: realization of the interdental fricatives. A gradient
analysis of the dependent variables duration of fricatives, Voice Onset Time (VOT), mean and
variance has been carried out. The independent variables were: experiments; voicing;
phonotactic contexts; language-use experience; the individual; and words. Results indicated
31% prototypical realizations of the interdental fricatives and 69% in non-prototypical
realizations. In general, these data support the findings that Brazilian learners of EAL tend to
produce the interdental fricatives in a non-prototypical way, replacing θ and ð with BP
labiodental fricatives and alveolar stops. Brazilian learners of EAL tend to produce the
interdental fricatives in a non-prototypical way in experiments ILA1 and ILA2. Results
indicated that voiceless interdental fricative and complex onset favored accurate production.
Language-use experience effects have been observed in this research. Additionally, it was found
that specific lexical items showed higher or smaller levels of the prototypical realization of
interdental fricatives and that each subject follows different construction of BP and EAL
interphonology pathways. The duration of the fricative was shown to be a relevant cue to
distinguish all three places of articulation. Results indicated significant differences in the VOT
between the improper alveolar stop t and full alveolar stop t. Mean and variance from the
frication noise and burst for stop consonants allow the classification of places of articulation.
Such results reinforce the importance of the acoustic properties from the phonetic detail to the
construction of mental representations in the BP and EAL interphonology by Brazilian learners.

Considering the investigation into the interphonology of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) and English
as an Additional Language (EAL), this study has the general objective of analyzing the phonetic
detail of the realization of alveolar fricatives at the end of words, associated with the plural and
third person morpheme -s of verbs by Brazilian EAL learners. When assuming the view of
language as a Complex Adaptive System (SAC) (Larsen-Freeman, 1997; Larsen-Freeman;
Cameron, 2008; Beckner et al, 2009; Baicchi, 2015) and multiple phonological representations,
according to the Exemplars Theory (TE) (Pierrehumbert, 2001; Bybee, 2001), we seek to
answer the following research question: how do Brazilian ILA learners perform alveolar
fricatives in coda position at the end of word, associated with the plural and the third person of
verbs in the present tense of morpheme -s? As a basic hypothesis, we assume that Brazilian
EAL learners perform alveolar fricatives in coda position at the end of words, associated with
the plural and third-person of present tense verbs of morpheme -s, under the influence of the
phenomena of regressive and progressive voicing assimilation (Fragozo, 2017; Zanfra; Silveira,
2020; Mendes-Junior, 2023). This research is characterized as quantitative, quasi-experimental,
with an intra-participant and cross-sectional design, involving the participation of ten Brazilian
EAL learners, with intermediate and advanced language proficiency levels. Data collection took
place through the application of an experiment on reading sentences with meaning in the
English language. We considered the analysis of the following dependent variables: the
categorical realization of the alveolar fricative; the duration of the vowel preceding the alveolar
fricatives; and the duration of the epenthetic and full vowel. The independent variables
controlled were preceding segment, following segment, individual, usage experience, words
and fricative voicing. The general data showed that participants demonstrated a significant
preference for the prototypical realization of the -s morpheme, showing less resistance for the
s allomorph in contrast to the z and ɪz allomorphs. In the preceding segment variable, it was
found that fricatives preceded by voiceless segments were predominantly voiceless, just as the
voicing of the fricative was more frequent when associated with preceding voiced segments.
The following segment variable proved to be significant for the voicing of the alveolar fricative,
so that following voiced contexts acted as attractors for the voicing of z and ɪz and following
unvoiced and pause contexts contributed to their devoicing. With the individual variable,
different paths were observed in voicing the morpheme -s. The variable usage experience did
not show a significant difference in the realization of the allomorph s between the intermediate
and advanced level groups, but it demonstrated that a higher frequency of prototypicality of zand ɪz is related to the advanced level group. In the word variable, it was found that each lexical
item acts differently in the development of the morpheme -s voicing. The analysis of the
dependent variable duration of the preceding vowel showed a longer duration of the vowel ɪ of
the ɪz allomorph when followed by a devoiced fricative. The analysis of the variable duration
of the epenthetic and full vowels showed a longer duration of the full vowel in contrast to the
epenthetic vowel.

Sherlock Holmes é um dos personagens mais conhecidos da Literatura Inglesa (cf.
ALLAN; PITTARD, 2019, p.1), além disso, as obras de Conan Doyle que o têm como
personagem principal foram largamente traduzidas para diversas línguas, o que
demonstra sua relevância tanto para a Literatura quanto para os Estudos da Tradução.
Nesse contexto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho é analisar a tradução para o português
das características psicológicas do personagem Sherlock Holmes. De forma mais
específica, objetiva-se: 1) determinar as características de Holmes que podem ser
observadas nas linhas de concordância que contêm falas do personagem; 2)
identificar as estratégias utilizadas na tradução para o português de alguns exemplos
dessas características; e 3) apontar as diferenças na apresentação dessas
características no texto fonte (TF) e o no texto traduzido (TT), levando-se em
consideração as escolhas realizadas pelos tradutores, com base nas Estratégias de
Tradução de Chesterman (1997). Sendo o personagem principal de uma obra vasta,
estudar a sua caracterização exige o recurso ao aparato teórico-metodológico da
Linguística de Corpus, mais especificamente da Estilística de Corpus, que se utiliza
dos métodos daquela para realizar análise literária. Para atingir os objetivos
propostos, foram adotados os seguintes passos: análise das linhas de concordância
do TF que contêm falas do personagem; identificação das características do
personagem através do que ele fala ou da forma como ele fala, juntamente com o
contexto no qual o trecho aparece; seleção das 10 características mais frequentes;
análise de um exemplo de cada traço de personalidade no intuito de verificar se há
diferença na sua forma de apresentação quando comparados TF e TT; e, quando
possível, identificação, por meio de métodos quantitativos, no Corpus de Estudo (CE)
como um todo, da forma como aquela característica se apresenta. No
desenvolvimento desses passos, foram utilizados o WordSmith Tools 6.0 e o Sketch
Engine. As 10 características de Sherlock Holmes mais frequentemente encontradas

na amostra analisada, por ordem de frequência, foram: ‘cordial’, ‘dedutivo’, ‘bem-
humorado’, ‘lisonjeiro’, ‘teatral’, ‘entusiasmado’, ‘confiante’, ‘irônico’, ‘minucioso’ e

‘ativo’. Para os traços de personalidade ‘lisonjeiro’, ‘teatral’, ‘confiante’ e ‘irônico’, uma
análise de cunho mais quantitativo foi desafiadora, pois a sua identificação depende
do contexto no qual estão inseridos e/ou da compreensão do sentido do texto mais do
que a observação da sua forma. Acerca das Estratégias de Tradução, percebeu-se
que o grupo das Estratégias Sintáticas foi o mais frequente na amostra estudada,
seguido de Semânticas e Pragmáticas. Além disso, as Estratégias Sintáticas
aparentam ser as que menos afetam a apresentação da característica do
personagem, quando comparados TF e TT. Conclui-se que a utilização dos métodos
baseados em corpus é muito útil na análise literária, pois possibilita a percepção de
aspectos que a simples leitura não permitiria identificar com facilidade.

The exploitation of images in advertising in digital vehicles, such as social media, has been widely highlighted. It takes advantage of habits, values and cultures, transforming them into merchandise in a context in which even the consumer (the user of the networks) is also a product for sale. The following research questions are taken as a starting point: How are multimodal aspects represented in Instagram posts to (dis)position potential consumers ideologically and hegemonically through celebrity profiles outside of Instagram? How are the images structured, with a view to reinforcing consumption, through modalization mechanisms? How is it possible to understand the styles, through the imagery modalities, that mediatize the sale of products in a game of disguises? In what way does Critical Discourse Analysis and the analysis of visual design elements of texts of advertising posts on Instagram foster the construction of a more critical and reflective subject to face the harassment of consumerism in networks, whose ideology of consumerism is operationalized at the same time? in order to mediatize this discourse for the followers of the consumer society? In view of this, the research undertaken aims to develop a critical analysis of the discourse of advertising posts on Instagram profiles, which establish asymmetrical power relations, ideologically and hegemonically marked by consumerism. The theoretical-methodological assumptions used in the research were the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), by Fairclough (1990; 2003), the basic theory of the research, which focused on the conceptions of ideology, power, hegemony and discourse; and, from the Grammar of Visual Design (GDV), designed by Kress and van Leeuwen (2006), data analysis theory, which reads the metafunctional (representational, interactive and compositional) meanings of images. As for the method, the research follows a qualitative approach with an interpretive bias, of a critical and documentary nature. In addition, it uses the mechanisms of analysis of the theories themselves, the ADC and the GDV. The analyzes made it possible to highlight a diversity of image modalizing resources of the discursive genre post in the Instagram feed, in advertising posts on Brazilian celebrity profiles, which are at the service of image manipulation to fulfill market strategies. These consist in the idealization of patterns, imitation of personalities and verticalized market feeding, which expands social discrepancies based on the precepts of modern capitalism with a view to consumerism. It was concluded that the images of advertising posts from profiles of celebrities on Instagram behave with the same communicative capacity as that of a verbal text, in addition to having a pattern of frequent organization within a diversity of possibilities, in a way that strengthens advertising, because the resources are operationalized to seduce the Internet user/follower and reach the main objective, which is the purchase. Furthermore, the main general modes of operation of the consumerist ideology and the respective typical strategies of symbolic construction in the manipulation of the analyzed advertising posts are legitimation (universalization), unification (standardization and symbolization) and reification (naturalization and nominalization/passivation).

The theme of the city in the poetry of Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902-1987) presents multiple
representations and proposes several questions about the historical and social positions of the
individual in the face of the connotations of modern lyric in this space of the city. In such a way,
such problems guide our look at the problematic representations between the city and the human
being presented in the poetics of the gauche poet. Guided by this proposition, we define the
following research question: How do the city representations presented in Drummond's poetics
present a problematic of urban space? Thus, our general objective is to develop, based on the
theories of modern Brazilian poetry and theories about the city, a study on the representations
established through poetic images involving urban problems experienced by the lyrical self in the
city space. In order to achieve this general objective, we chose the following specific objectives:
1°) To discuss the relationships established about the city in Drummond's poems from the
relationship of human beings to each other and to the environment of the city. 2°) To analyze the
symbolic relations present in the city and the social and economic tensions unleashed in its
surroundings, starting from the analysis of the poems “Coração numeroso”, part of the book Alguma
poesia, as well as of “Eu, Etiqueta” and “A montanha pulverizada”, both from Boitempo III as well
as "Nota social", from the book Alguma poesia 3°) To strengthen studies on modern Brazilian
poetry, contributing to new interpretations and approaches to Drummond's poetics. The theoretical
contribution that supports the study is mainly constituted by the assumptions about modern poetry
(PAZ, 1993; CANDIDO, 2006; ABDALA JÚNIOR, CAMPEDELLI, 2004; BOSI, 2015; MOISES,
2005) and the theoretical aspects of cities (HARVEY, 2014); LYNCH, 1999) involving urban
problems (WISNIK, 2018; CARA, 1989; DIAS, 2006; CICERO, 2000) present in Drummond's
poetics. We established as thematic focus the historical context present in the period, as well as
the critical fortune of the poet and the style present in the work of the miner. Thus, from the
methodological point of view, this research is descriptive, with a qualitative approach and an
interpretative basis. In turn, the results obtained demonstrate that the city has a multiple range of
facets – sometimes negative, sometimes positive – with the individuals who live in it, outlined
through the affective memory of these subjects with the space they inhabit.

This work has as its main theme the representation of the city in the poetry of Palmyra
Wanderley (1894-1978), focused in her work Roseira Brava (1965). This is a study about
the Brazilian poetry, especially on the poetic production of a female writer from the state of
Rio Grande do Norte, in the early modern period. The hypothesis is all about this: through
studies dealing with Modernism, Palmyra Wanderley's poetry represents a landmark in the
modern literary scenario of the 20th century context. In this circumstance, the research turns
to the theoretical analysis of her modern poetic production, seeking to answer the following
question: how a lyrical representation of the city Natal is symbolized in the poems
"Alecrim", "Passo da Pátria", "Sinhá Rocas" and "Refoles", extracted from the work Roseira
Brava (1965). The problematic issue consisted of identifying the different ways of
representing the city - both from the emotional/sentimental/sensorial point of view and from
the social perspective, highlighting the urban representations of the city in the poems chosen
for the analysis. For this, we used as theoretical basis the references by Bosi (2006), Candido
(1972), Teles (1983), Araújo and Palhano (2017), Barreto (2005), writers that deal with
the representation of the city in the poetics of the poet; and the theories of Dias (2006),
Fonseca (2009) Friedrich (1979) and Lynch (1999), that regard the determinant aspects of
the city theme in poetry. The results of this study portray the social critical view which
Palmyra Wandeley exposes on the theme of the city in her verses surrounding the urban
issues. It is emphasized that the poems analyzed present a mosaic of the city, portraying its
geographical, historical, cultural and social aspects – positive or negative – that surround
the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte (Natal), which are exposed through a visibly
modern lyric in Roseira Brava.

This dissertation has as its theme the cognitive-discursive functions evidenced in the indirect anaphors present in the introduction of scientific articles in the area of Linguistics, Letters and Arts. From the discussions that involve academic writing, whether in academic environments or in external environments, considering the fact that academic writing is an essential requirement for the registration and circulation of technical-scientific knowledge, this study aims to general to analyze the use of the anaphoric referential process in order to identify the cognitive-discursive functions in the writing of the introduction section of scientific articles. The theoretical contribution that supports the study is constituted mainly by the assumptions of Textual Linguistics, which has precursors such as Conte (1977), Fávero e Koch (2012), Koch (2003); of the referencing (MONDADA E DUBOIS, 1995; MARCUSCHI,1985; APOTHÉLOZ, 2019; CAVALCANTE, 2011, 2014, 2018, 2019); of discursive functions (KOCH, 20003; CIULLA E SILVA, 2008; SÁ, 2014). Regarding the corpus, it consists of 20 introductions of academic articles in the area of Linguistics, Letters and Arts, written in mother tongue, published in Qualis A journals, from which we selected 7 whose analysis we present as an example. In the samples, we evidenced generic prototypes with indirect anaphoric referential expressions that presented the discursive functions pointed out by the scholars Ciulla e Silva (2018) e Sá (2014). As for the methodology, it is a documentary research with a quali-interpretivist approach (BARROS E LEHFELD, 2000, p. 70), in relation to the objective, it is a descriptive research (GONSALVES, 2003). It should be noted that this enterprise followed all the methodological steps suggested by Pizzani et al (2012): delimitation of the problem, survey and recording of relevant citations, deepening of the search, list of sources to be obtained, location of sources, reading and summarization, writing of the work. By observing the analyzed data, we found that the anaphoric referential processes exert cognitive-discursive functions with different representations. In short, explicit evaluation functions, encapsulation functions, thematic progression function, enumerative organization function, summary function and so on were observed. The results obtained demonstrate, although still in progress, that referential expressions are used in academic texts, such as scientific articles, for different purposes, such as promoting cohesion and, in this way, avoiding repetition, inadequate interpretation or generic, acting strongly, in this written academic genre, for the binding between the sequences and for the textual progression.

The present paper analyzed how the short story "The Color out of Space", written in 1927 by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, was adapted for the 21st century cinema in a movie called Die Farbe, from 2010, directed by Huan Vu. Lovecraft was a 20th century American writer, who had great importance in the construction of what we currently know as gothic literature, also contributing to the development of cosmic horror, fantasy and science fiction. One of the objectives of this paper was to analyse the gothic aspects in literature and cinema, and also to understand about the studies of film adaptation, with the objective of distinguish from traditionalist approaches, which place fidelity as a main point of the analysis. It was also important to understand the theories about fear and cosmic horror, which were objects of analysis in the film adaptation Die Farbe. The paper also sought to investigate how Die Farbe translated "The Color of of Space" to the 21st century, adapting the story to a different time and context, thus seeking to understand how these aspects of the adaptation relate to the target audience of the time of the film production. After a bibliographic review regarding the themes that grounded the work, it was possible to analyze that especific cinematographic resources, such as light, shadow, framing, colour palette and sound were used to adapt the cosmic horror and the unknowable of Lovecraft's work for the cinema. It was possible to observe that the Die Farbe film was able to translate the cosmic horror aspects of lovecraftian literature through the use of cinematographic resources. It is also valid to point that Die Farbe also contributed to the dissemination of the lovecraftian works, and in the construction of his literary fame.

This dissertation is part of the research line, Culture and Representation, of the Postgraduate Program in Language Sciences at the University of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN) and its theme is the post-colonial representation of Angolan identities in literature. Our hypothesis is that, in the context of the work Predadores, by Pepetela, although colonialism has overcome with the independence of Angola from Portuguese colonial rule in 1975, the negative effects of colonization are manifested in this society under political, economic, social, cultural aspects and are incorporated into the identities of the subjects who compose it. Thus, the question that guides the research is: how are post-colonial representations of Angolan identities established in Pepetela's novel Predadores? Our general objective is to analyze, through a critical study of the characters, how Angolan identities are represented in this narrative by the Angolan writer. To achieve this general objective, we chose the following specific objectives: 1) to establish a discussion about the representations of the continuities of the colonial moment in the postcolonial in Predadores; 2) analyze the post-colonial representations of Angolan subjects considering the historical, political and social aspects and the different contexts in which they are found in the narrative; 3) describe how the reproduction of colonialist discourse and the post-revolutionary subversion of the Angolan subject are established in the work in question. The theoretical framework that supports the study is built on the assumptions of postcolonial thinking (FANON 1968; CÁSAIRE,1978), postcolonial theories (BHABHA, 2019; SAID, 2011), the study of identities (HALL, 2018, 2019; WOODWARD, 2004; ANDERSON, 2008) and Angolan literary criticism (MATA, 2006, 2014; LEITE, 2003; ABDALA JÚNIOR, 2003; LARANJEIRAS, 1992). The corpus is composed of the novel Predadores, by Pepetela, a work that represents and recalls historical, political and social aspects experienced by the Angolan population between the years 1975 to 2005, a period that comprises the end of Portuguese colonization and that a war between the main representatives of the anti-colonial struggle, groups with different political views. From the methodological point of view, for the development of this work, we assumed the protocols of qualitative research with a bibliographic and an analytical-critical nature. The results obtained through the analysis of the characters that make up the plot point to the composition of plural identities forged in the complex socio-historical context that contributed to the continuity of colonial structures even after the country's independence from colonial rule.
