Mais especificamente, analisa como professores utilizam a linguagem para comunicar-se com seus alunos durante as aulas. Inicialmente são expostas nossas intenções e a leitura de algumas produções em Educação Matemática que se aproximam de nossa proposta. Em seguida, apresentamos os dois aportes teóricos que dão sustentação ao nosso trabalho, o Modelo dos Campos Semânticos e os Jogos de linguagem de Wittgenstein, apresentando cada um deles separadamente para considerar, posteriormente, seus pontos de aproximação e distanciamento. As filmagens nas salas de aula de dois professores foram transformadas em clipes que, transcritos, nos ajudaram a organizar os dados por nós constituídos para esta pesquisa. Com a análise desses dados, a partir dos aportes teóricos adotados, foi possível elencar "eventos" que caracterizam alguns usos da linguagem e, por fim, são fundamentais para constituir nosso mapa como um jogo de linguagem da sala de aula de matemática. / Abstract: This work has as its main intention build a map on how language is used in Math classrooms, specifically we try to understand how teachers use language in order to share meanings with their students. Initially we present our main intentions, summarizing some researches close to our purposes. The two theoretical framework which give support to our study - the Model of Semantic Fields and the Wittgenteiniam "games of language" - are then presented and discussed in their similarities and distinctions. Some classrooms activities of two teachers were recorded and turned in "clips". The clips were transcribed it help us to organize the data for our research. Data analysis - developed according to our theoretical framework - allowed us to build the so-called "events", sketching a mapping on how language can be used in math classrooms. / Mestre

Esses episódios podem oferecer elementos para favorecer um diálogo com professores e futuros professores de matemática de tal forma que seja possível discutir diferentes modos de produção de significados para dimensão, particularmente entre discursos cotidianos e matemáticos, fazendo com que esses professores experienciem e discutam processos de produção de significados. / Abstract: This study aimed at producing a reading of the production of mathematical and non-mathematical meanings for dimension, based on the Model of Semantic Fields (MSF), and consists of three episodes: (a) an analysis of everyday phrases that contain the word dimension, using both the MSF (Lins, 1997, 1999) and the notion of Language Games (Wittgenstein, 1985); (b) an analysis of how dimension appears within the mathematician's mathematics, through three definitions for it, and also re-examining how students of a linear algebra course dealt with it; and, (c) a historical study of the constitution of a specific area of mathematics, examining what historians say about the notion of dimension and the changes meanings went through. We think those episodes offer support for a dialogue with mathematics teachers (pre- and inservice) as to make possible to discuss those modes of meaning production, particularly the difference between everyday and mathematical discourses, providing an experience of better understanding meaning production processes. / Mestre

Orientador: Claudia Zavaglia / Banca: Waldenice Moreira Cano / Banca: Claudia Maria Xatara / Resumo: O presente trabalho se propôs a estudar e apresentar alguns neologismos veiculados na mídia por meio do colunista do jornal Folha de São Paulo, José Simão. Inicialmente, apresentamos uma explanação teórica sobre o estudo do léxico, além da sua ampliação e utilização na língua escrita, sob as perspectivas teóricas de Alves (1994), Barbosa (1981) e Biderman (2001), entre outros. Coletamos e organizamos os textos jornalísticos do caderno Ilustrada, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2003, perfazendo um total de 289 seções de artigos em formato word, que resultaram em aproximadamente 300 neologismos. Essa base lingüística foi armazenada no programa computacional Folio Views® 4.1, gerando assim, o corpus de nossa pesquisa, a partir do qual resgatamos e apresentamos o contexto, a ocorrência de itens lexicais, como por exemplo, lulanês, que se trata de um neologismo sintático formado por derivação sufixal e faz parte da linguagem empregada pelo atual presidente da república do Brasil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Essas novas criações lexicais foram classificadas em campos semânticos, a saber: televisão, política e cotidiano. Oferecemos, além disso, uma apresentação, por meio de gráficos, dos recursos neológicos mais utilizados por José Simão, com o intuito de observamos a vivacidade do processo de criação neológica que esse escritor exibe em seus textos. / Abstract: The following work proposed to study and show some neologisms presented in the communication system by a columnist of Folha de São Paulo newspaper, José Simão. First, we showed a theoretical explanation about lexical studies beyond its application and use in the written language, using the perspectives theoricals of Alves (1994), Barbosa (1981) and Biderman (2001), etc. We collected and organized the journalistic texts of the Ilustrada paper, from this columnist, in the period of January to December of 2003, totaling 289 sections of articles in the word format, ending in approximately 300 neologisms. This linguistic base was kept in a computer program called folio views® 4.1. giving the corpus of our survey, and then we took back and showed the context, the occurrence and we classificated the lexical items, as for example, the neologism lulanês, which is a syntactic neologism formed by suffixal derivation and makes part of the spoken language used by our actual republic president of Brazil, Luis Inácio da Silva. These new lexical creations were classificated in semantic fields like: television, politics, and everyday. We proposed, moreover, a presentation by graphics of the neologics resources more used by José Simão which were more used to verify the vivacity of the neological processes that he presented in his texts. / Mestre

Nesse sentido, constrói-se, como intercessores, a noção de cognição inventiva proposta por Virgínia Kastrup e, mais de perto, dois modelos comumente utilizados na área: a Teoria dos Campos Conceituais, de Gerard Vergnaud, e o Modelo dos Campos Semânticos, de Rômulo Lins. O texto dissertativo desdobra-se, pois, em dois livros. Em um deles são compostas quatro fabulações junto à sala de aula de matemática, que operam com os modelos de aprendizagem e de cognição com os quais dialoga esta pesquisa. Essas fabulações são construções narrativas que operam com os modelos levando à explicitação das implicações desses modelos para a sala de aula de matemática. Uma delas, porém, ao operar com a noção de cognição inventiva, produz uma fabulação que vai constituindo(-se) em um antimodelo, ou seja, naquilo que coloca a ideia de modelo em movimento, forçando seus limites. No outro livro, o objetiva-se ao estudo da Teoria dos Campos Conceituais e do Modelo dos Campos Semânticos, discutindo-se as noções que a eles subjazem, situando-os como teorizações que estão em conexão com as ideias de Piaget e Vigotski, respectivamente. / This dissertation is the result of a research that aims to investigate how cognitive policies operate in Mathematics Education. For this, we as intercessors, the notion of cognition inventive proposal by Virginia Kastrup and more closely two models commonly used in the area: the Theory of Conceptual Fields, of Gerard Vergnaud, and the Model of Semantic Fields, of Rômulo Lins. The dissertation unfolds into two books. In one of their fabulations are made from the mathematics’s  classroom,   operating with models of learning and cognition with which this research dialogues. These fabulations are narrative constructions that operate with the models leading to explicitation of the implications of these models for the classroom math. Operating with the inventive cognition, one will fabulation thus becoming anti-model one, which puts the idea of model in motion forcing its limits. In another book, the objective is by study the Theory of Conceptual Fields and Model of Semantic Fields, discussing the concepts that underlie them, placing them as theories that are in connection with the ideas of Piaget and Vygotsky, respectively.

Orientador: Rúbia Barcelos Amaral-Schio / Resumo: A presente pesquisa partiu da motivação do seu autor sobre o processo de investigação matemática com estudantes. Entendendo que a Matemática não é produzida do mesmo modo que é apresentada nos livros voltados para o seu estudo, foi intencionado na tese elaborar compreensões sobre o processo de produção de significado para determinadas noções matemáticas em um contexto investigativo de aprendizagem. Desse modo, a pesquisa configurou-se em uma abordagem qualitativa, apoiando-se na Teoria do Modelo dos Campos Semânticos para realizar uma possível leitura desse processo, enfatizando-se a contribuição deste trabalho no diálogo do referencial teórico com o campo da Geometria. Para tal, foi organizado um Grupo de Estudos Independente sobre curvas cônicas composto por quatro estudantes do curso de graduação em Matemática e o pesquisador, autor desta tese de doutorado. Não houve um programa pré-definido, permitindo que os participantes conduzissem as discussões partindo da seguinte pergunta: O que vocês sabem sobre curvas cônicas? Como instrumento de produção de dados, foram utilizadas gravações em vídeo-áudio dos vinte e dois encontros que ocorreram ao longo do ano de 2016, conversas no aplicativo para smartphone WhatsApp (em grupo e em pares) e diários dos participantes. Em consonância com o objetivo, o estilo de escrita da tese adorado como estética buscou evidenciar tanto o processo de produção de conhecimento (matemático) como também o d...

Understanding that Mathematics is not produced in the same way as it is presented in textbooks, it was intended in elaborating understandings about the producing meaning process for certain mathematical notions in a research context of learning. In this way, the research is framed on a qualitative approach, based on Semantic Field Model Theory to carry out a possible reading of this process, so that the contribution of this work is emphasized in the dialog of the theoretical reference with the Geometry’s field. For that, a Study Group on conic curves was composed by four undergraduate students in Mathematics and the researcher, author of this doctoral thesis. There was no predefined program, allowing participants to conduct the discussions from referrals through the following question: What do you know about conic curves? As a data production tool, video-audio recordings of the twenty-two meetings that took place throughout 2016, conversations in the WhatsApp smartphone application (in group and in pairs) and participants' diaries were used. In agreement with our aim, the text form of the thesis sought to evidence both the process of production of knowledge (mathematical) as well as of scientific knowledge (to do research). The analysis consisted in making a plausible reading of the dynamics of meaning production from the point of view of one of the subjects....

This dissertation has three goals : to establish an inventory of translation strategies applicable to the translation of metaphor, to investigate how the application of these strategies affects the balance in metaphorical quality between source text and target text, and, finally, to determine whether this balance is a useful indicator of the direction of the translation as a whole, towards either adequacy or acceptability. To carry out this research the author has established a corpus comprising 250 metaphors from the novel La goutte d’or by Michel Tournier and its Swedish translation, Gulddroppen by C.G. Bjurström. Based on the criteria thematical and contextual connection 158 metaphors from this corpus have been selected for analysis.The strategy used in the translation of each metaphor has been established. The degree of balance in metaphorical quality between the two texts has then been determined and its significance as an indicator of the direction of the translation as a whole has been discussed. The underlying theory and methodology of the study are those of Gideon Toury as outlined in his book Descriptive Translation Studies and beyond. The study is thus essentially descriptive in nature. The dissertation is divided into two parts. The first part gives a survey of well known research within the fields of metaphor theory and translation theory. Various theories concerning the requested equality between a text and its translation are presented, as well as inventories of translation strategies established by a number of researchers. The second part contains the analysis of the selected metaphors and establishes a set of strategies for this purpose.

The main aim of this study is to examine how characterizations of persons in books for children and adolescents relate to traditional sex role patterns and to determine if there is any difference in this respect between books for girls and books for boys as well as between popular books and quality books.Eight books for girls, eight books for boys, and four books for both girls and boys are examined. From these books 8,268 adjectives, adverbs, and participles which characterize persons or aspects of persons were excerpted. These excerpts have been categorized with regard to syntactic function into attributive adjectives, predicative adjectives, and adverbials, and with regard to meaning as to membership in semantic fields on different levels.The most frequent syntactic category in the material is "predicative" (42.8%), followed by "attributive" (33.4%). Female characters are more often described by predicative adjectives than are male characters, while the opposite is true of attributive adjectives. The choice of syntactic category seems to be determined more by what property or state the lexical item refers to, however, than by the sex of the character described.The semantic fields with the largest number of excerpts are MENTAL PROPERTIES AND STATES (32.9%), SOCIABILITY (15.0%), DRESS AND APPEARANCE (14.7%), and PACE AND MOVEMENTS (11.4%). These fields also dominate within the different categories of books and the descriptions of female and male characters respectively.Traditional sex role patterns are most obvious in characterizations of role characters with respect to their role in society and their relation to other people. Female characters are, e.g., almost exclusively described with respect to their private lives, while male characters are described in terms of their position in society. In the books for boys male characters are attributed a negative or rejecting attitude to their environment, while female characters are attributed a more positive or accepting attitude.The most traditional impression of the opposite sex is conveyed by the books for boys-to the extent that any such impression is conveyed at all by these books. The books for boys have very few female characters and very few descriptions of them. In general, male characters dominate in the books and it is clearly shown that to be a boy or man is more highly regarded than to be a girl or woman.No general differences between popular books and quality literature emerged from the analyses performed. Traditional sex role patterns are equally pronounced in the two types of books, even if there are differences between individual books. / digitalisering@umu

The grass of wetlands in northern Sweden has been utilized for mowing and pasture even in our time. There are a large number of words and expressions, expecially in the dialects, to denote and describe the various types of wetlands.The chief aim of the thesis is to investigate some 40 wetland terms in a limited area - the old parish of Luleå, Norrbotten, in northern Sweden - in order to establish their distribution, meanings and use. The aim of the study is also to illustrate different semantic aspects, such as semantic features, semantic fields, the relationship between common nouns and place-names, as well as explanations based on the appearance of the wetlands. The material consists of words that derive from archives, the literature on the subject and interviews with 43 informants, and has been supplemented with studies of the wetlands themselves.Three semantically similar words, drävj, dröla and dovei, are scrutinized and compared with reference to their frequency and distribution, position, humidity, vegetation, form and depth of the ground. To illustrate the relationship between words and referents the author investigates what words are used about (small) muddy pools in a swamp (mire) and about the dry parts of a swamp (in technical language called flarkar and strängar, respectively). The words drävj and dröla are compared with five other words for 'depression/hollow' etc. and 'small pool' etc. Similarities and differences are illustrated in three figures on the basis of criteria like depression/hollow, humidity and size. The words are often explained with reference to special places in the area or to adjacent places, the names of which contain the word in question. With two pairs of words as examples, grande and skärpa, and drävj and dröla, respectively, the author investigates the meanings of the words and their referents and the explanatory strategies of the informants.The author stresses the dependence of word explanations and the learning of words on their contexts and functional situations. This aspect is illustrated in a chapter which summerizes how the author's semantic views of dövel, dröla and drävj have been formed. This is done with reference to the so-called prototype theory. / digitalisering@umu
