Addressing the lack of an explicit system network for relational clauses in Brazilian Portuguese, the study proposes a probabilistically grounded model that captures language-specific patterns of choice rather than a definitive system. The analysis draws on a corpus of 2,874 relational clauses from news reports, opinion articles, and interviews, annotated at semantic, lexicogrammatical, and textual levels, and interpreted through quantitative procedures inspired by probabilistic systemic grammar. The results show that relational clauses form a structured yet flexible probabilistic network, with a strong predominance of intensive clauses, followed by circumstantial and possessive types, and highly predictable realization of the Process, primarily by the verbs ser, estar, and ter. Participant configurations exhibit systematic asymmetries, and possessive clauses strongly favor verbal realization of possession, predominantly abstract. The study proposes the Probabilistic Relational Compactness Index as a metric integrating structural cost and informational density, demonstrating that variation is constitutive of the relational meaning potential of Brazilian Portuguese and providing a foundation for typological generalization and future computational applications in corpus analysis and automatic text generation

An increasing number of schools are including English in their curricula in Brazil, making it necessary to investigate specific teacher education for this area. The knowledge required to work in language education with children is transdisciplinary and involves, among other things, linguistic and pedagogical aspects. Despite this new scenario in schools, current Brazilian legislation still lacks official guidelines, since the English language is only regularly included in curricula from the sixth grade of Elementary School onwards. Given this context, this research investigates the agency development of teachers working in this area, considering the challenges they face in their teacher education path and in the workplace. The objective is to analyze how English teachers develop their agency in the context of language education with children based on temporality (Emirbayer; Mische, 1998), considering the relational and collaborative conception of agency (Priestley; Biesta; Robinson, 2015) and its transformative aspect (Stetsenko, 2023). The data was generated with teachers from different parts of Brazil, through online and face-to-face meetings that promoted discussions about the topic. Theories about agency and each of the temporal aspects (past, present, and future) are combined with the data generated. Each chapter of this thesis presents a combination of theories and data. Our intention was to include the voices of the participants in the entire writing process, mainly because it deals with a topic that is directly related to them – teacher agency. The results point to the collaborative aspect as essential in teachers’ professional activity, in addition to highlighting factors that hinder and promote the development of agency in concrete contexts of action. The results also make it possible to understand what would be necessary in the future to promote more agency, based on the participants’ opinions regarding the various entities involved in language education with children: the government, the school, parents, universities, among other aspects highlighted in the research. We believe that his investigation can support the implementation of policies and help several sectors involved in education to listen to the voices that matter – those who experience the daily reality of the classroom. New proposals for language education with children must be aligned with the needs and realities of teachers working in this context.
- ItemAnálise variável dos róticos em Ibitiruí, Alfredo Chaves/ES: uma marca afetiva do “Engano”(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-10-23) Fiorin, Márcio Favero; Meireles, Alexsandro Rodrigues; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1901-9329; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9913871449747690; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3924-7521; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0852952925930571; Tesch, Leila Maria; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3919-1230; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9705222558363890; Battisti, Elisa; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3919-1230; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9705222558363890; Mendes, Ronald Beline; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1510-7180; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0651144091367586; Medeiros, Beatriz Raposo de; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8298-0070; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7013910296934558This study investigates the effects of linguistic contact between Brazilian Portuguese and the Venetian language in communities of descendants of Italian immigrants in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, with a specific focus on the variation of rhotics in Ibitiruí, a district of the municipality of Alfredo Chaves. Italian immigration, which began in the late nineteenth century, brought to the state a population largely originating from the Veneto region, a province in northern Italy, whose language has been maintained across generations as an affective heritage and a symbol of identity in contexts of asymmetric bilingualism. Although Venetian has declined in everyday use, especially among younger generations, it continues to play a relevant symbolic role, influencing local linguistic and sociocultural practices. The study is based on a corpus of eighteen sociolinguistic interviews, totaling nineteen informants, mostly members of the Ibitiruí community or individuals who have spent most of their lives there. The interviews were conducted in a semi-structured format and addressed topics related to life trajectories, cultural practices, community memory, and linguistic identity. The sample was stratified by sex, age group, and level of schooling, and the data were analyzed through two envelopes of variation: one reflecting the influence of the Venetian language, which includes realizations considered canonical in that language, and another without Venetian influence, associated with innovative variants or those more closely aligned with general trends in Portuguese. With regard to phonetic environments, the findings show that wordinitial position and, above all, intervocalic position—especially medial syllable coda—are the contexts that most favor the realization of traits associated with Venetian, such as the alveolar tap [ɾ] and, to a lesser extent, the alveolar trill [r]. In contrast, word-final syllable coda favors the emergence of aspirated variants and deletion, constituting a space of phonetic innovation in the local repertoire. The data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis using the R platform (R Core Team, 2016) and complemented by a qualitative analysis grounded in the literature of Variationist Sociolinguistics (WEINREICH; LABOV; HERZOG, 2006; LABOV, 2008 [1972]), Language Contact (WEINREICH, 1970; FISHMAN, 1991; TRUDGILL, 1992; MONTRUL, 2013), and studies on rhotic variation in Brazilian Portuguese (CÂMARA JR., 1983; 1992; CALLOU; LEITE, 1996; 2004). The results indicate the predominance of the alveolar tap [ɾ] as the canonical form in the community, accounting for approximately 70% of occurrences, followed by the glottal fricative [h], the velar fricative [x], and deletion [Ø]. Due to its low frequency, the alveolar trill [r] was grouped with the tap for analytical purposes. In this sense, rhotic variation in Ibitiruí goes beyond a purely phonetic phenomenon, reflecting historical, social, and identity-related dynamics, and functioning as an affective marker of Engano. The study advances the hypotheses that: (i) phonetic environments that signal Venetian influence— especially word-initial position and medial syllable coda—tend to be evaluated negatively or stigmatized by younger speakers, albeit implicitly; and (ii) beyond schooling, extralinguistic factors such as the social status associated with Venetian-speaking groups play a central role in the process of heritage language shift and in the loss of its phonetic and phonological traits
- ItemIntertextualidade, referenciação, argumentação multimodal e humor em vídeo-memes da rede social TikTok(Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, 2025-09-26) Lima, Aline Souza de; Souza Júnior, Rivaldo Capistrano de ; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3731-7613; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7433150215859023; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8492-9540; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0407298256550496; Oliveira, Mônica Lopes Smiderle; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4973-7129; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6910760911003070; Casotti, Janayna Bertollo Cozer; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7459-4268; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2272458406285160; Lima, Dean Guilherme Gonçalves; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8520-8780; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9890884624525662; Chagas, Viktor Henrique Carneiro de Souza; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1806-6062; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5832049847796420This paper focuses on the study of video memes circulated on the TikTok platform, emphasizing their intertextual, referential, multimodal, and humorous aspects, as well as their persuasive function in the digital context. The research questions guiding the study are: 1) in what ways do intertextual relationships and the referential activity of the imagistic discourse, objects (or referents) contribute to the production of humor and to multimodal argumentation in video memes on the TikTok social network? And 2) How does the humor effect produced guide the argumentative discourse in the video memes? The hypotheses proposed are: 1) intertextual relationships and the (re) construction of imagistic discourse objects significantly contribute to the production of humor, functioning as argumentative strategies in multimodal discourse; and 2) the humor present in these videos acts as an argumentative resource that directs the stance of the speaker, influencing the interpretation and adherence of the audience to the presented viewpoint. The general objective of the research is to investigate how intertextual relationships and the (re) construction of imagistic discourse objects occur in video memes on the TikTok platform, in order to understand the role of these elements in the production of humor and in multimodal argumentative orientation. The specific objectives are to verify the function of intertextuality in the construction of meaning in video memes; to describe, analyze, and interpret the imagistic discourse objects present in the videos; and to investigate how humor acts in defending viewpoints and in the constitution of multimodal argumentation. The study is based on the assumptions of Textual Linguistics (Koch, 2004; Cavalcante et al., 2019; Nobre, 2014; Carvalho, 2018), Multimodal Argumentation (Tseronis, 2020; Gonçalves-Segundo, 2020, 2021), studies on humor (Raskin, 1985; Raskin & Attardo, 1991; Propp, 1992), and studies on memes and digital culture (Shifman, 2014; Lima, 2019). This is descriptive research with a qualitative approach and interpretative basis. The corpus consists of ten video memes selected from the TikTok platform, chosen based on criteria of popularity, representativeness, and thematic diversity. The results obtained confirm the research hypotheses: the analyzed video memes utilize intertextual relationships and imagistic resources as fundamental elements in the construction of humor and the structuring of multimodal argumentation. Humor, far from being merely a strategy, plays a significant discursive function, acting as a persuasive strategy that influences the audience's reception and adherence to the viewpoints presented. It is concluded that video memes on TikTok, as a specific subtype of digital memes, are complex forms of digital discourse that articulate language, image, and sociocultural references to construct meanings and defend positions. Intertextuality and discourse objects function as semiotic operators that strengthen the argumentation and reveal the sophistication of texts in contemporary digital culture.

Among its main characteristics are its “intersection with televised media discourse” (Marques, 2017), the participants’ orientation toward confrontation and the spectacularization of the communicative act (Marques, 2017; Mapelli, 2010), and pre-established turn-taking rules, mutually agreed upon by the participants.This study aims to analyze laughter as “a socially organized and systematically produced activity” (Jefferson, Sacks, Schegloff, 1987), associated with emotional, epistemic, and deontic stances (Peräkylä & Sorjonen, 2013; Stevanovic & Peräkylä, 2014; Le Breton, 2019), in a televised political debate during the first round of Brazil’s 2022 presidential elections. It seeks to describe how laughter emerges and concludes as a constitutive part of participants’ actions within the interactional setting in which it occurs.To this end, the analysis focused on instances in which affiliative laughter—or “laughing with”—and non-affiliative laughter—or “laughing at” (Glenn, 2003; Strid & Cekaite, 2021)— emerged in the data. Moments were also observed in which laughter appeared disconnected from any laughable element produced before or after the turn in which it occurred-self-laughter that neither continues into a third turn nor relies on a previous one. In fact, laughter was directly related to collaborative actions, reprimands, face attacks, self-presentation, negative criticism, irony, and self-praise, among others. The data were generated on August 25, 2022, during a debate broadcast by TV Cultura, TV Bandeirantes, Folha de São Paulo, and UOL on their open TV channels as well as through their respective YouTube channels. The segmentation process involved downloading the video to a personal computer, segmenting it, and transcribing the data based on the Jefferson transcription system (Gago, 2002) and Mondada’s multimodal conventions (2018). Conversation Analysis serves as the theoretical framework guiding this analytical work (Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson, 1974; Sidnell & Stivers, 2013)
