Cette thèse questionne et relativise la notion de « langue en danger » à partir de l'étude des représentations sociales d’acteurs institutionnels et scientifiques au travers de l’histoire et de locuteurs d’une langue dite « en danger ». La notion de « langue en danger » est appréhendée par des acteurs institutionnels et scientifiques au travers de représentations de la langue comme entité autonome et organique, relié à ses essences. Ces représentations puisent leurs origines dans la période coloniale. En examinant l’histoire d’une ancienne colonie britannique, l’Inde, nous montrons que de telles représentations se sont déployées dans et par des pratiques coloniales visant au maintien de l’ordre social. Il en va de même de certaines pratiques postcoloniales qui s’appuient de plus en plus sur la langue comme moyen nécessaire à l’identification des minorités et commencent à s’articuler autour de la dénommée « langue en danger ». Nous avons mené une enquête auprès de locuteurs d’une langue dite « en danger » pour savoir s’ils la considéraient également comme telle. Nous avons abordé leurs points de vue au travers du concept de représentation sociale et ce afin d'appréhender la manière dont ces mêmes locuteurs comprennent et co-construisent leur réalité sociale. Suite à l’annotation d’entretiens bilingues, nous avons analysé via l’Analyse Conversationnelle la manière dont les représentations émergent dans et par les pratiques interactionnelles. Nos analyses démontrent un écart entre les représentations des locuteurs et celles construites par l’enquêtrice et l’interprète, ces dernières étant plus proches des représentations déployées dans des travaux sur les langues en danger. / This thesis questions and relativizes the notion of “endangered language” based on a study of the social representations of institutional and scientific actors throughout history and of speakers of a so-called “endangered language” today. The notion of “endangered language” is constructed through representations through which institutional and scientific actors construct language as an autonomous and organic whole linked to its essences. These representations originate in the colonial period. By examining a former British colony, India, we show that such representations were used in and by colonial practices to maintain the social order. This is also the case for certain postcolonial practices in India which are increasingly based on language as a necessary means to identify minorities and are beginning to be articulated in terms of “endangered languages”. We conducted a study with speakers of a so-called “endangered language,” to see if they considered it as such. We examined their points of view through the concept of “social representation” in order to grasp how these actors understand and co-construct their reality within interactions. After annotating bilingual interviews conducted via an interpreter, we analyzed the way in which representations emerge in and through interactional practices using an approach inspired by Conversation Analysis. Our analyses show a discrepancy between speakers’ representations and those constructed by the investigator and the interpreter, the latter more similar to representations constructed in scientific and institutional work on endangered languages.

[pt] A tese apresenta pesquisa realizada com professores contratados do Departamento do Primeiro Segmento do Colégio Pedro II tendo como questão principal: O que os relatos dos docentes contratados do Departamento do Primeiro Segmento do CPII nos dizem sobre o significado de seu trabalho, sua identidade e experiência? Tardif e Lessard (2005) são referenciais teóricos usados para as reflexões sobreo trabalho docente, com as categorias teóricas atividade, experiência e identidade; Ball (2001, 2012) contribui com o conceito de atuação de políticas, e Dubet (2014), com a discussão sobre desigualdades. Como referencial teórico-metodológico foi utilizado Goffman, com os conceitos de face e estigma, entre outros, e para a análise sociolinguístico-interacional. A pesquisa qualitativa utilizou como estratégias de coleta e geração de dados: a) pesquisa bibliográfica sobre leis e documentos reguladores do trabalho de professores contratados no Colégio Pedro II, b) entrevistas semiestruturadas com quinze professoras, c) catorze entrevistas com gestores do Colégio e representantes da Associação de Docentes. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada para a análise dos dados coletados em documentos e gerados nas entrevistas. Buscou-se, também, através do diálogo entre a Educação e a Linguagem, especialmente a Sociolinguística Interacional (GOFFMAN, 2013 [1964], 2013 [1979], b MISHLER, 1986a, 1986b), analisar as entrevistas como um encontro social, assim, a interação da entrevistadora com os entrevistados e a construção do sentido pelos atores foram também colocadas em foco. Como resultados, constatou-se que as professoras contratadas do Colégio Pedro II têm mais direitos assegurados que colegas de outras redes, como constatado na revisão empírica. Sobre a atividade docente, as professoras indicam valorizar a estrutura física e acompanhamento pedagógico realizado pelas equipes de Orientação e Coordenação, e percebem-se mais satisfeitas no trabalho, apesar da precariedade formal, do que em outras redes onde trabalham. A experiência de trabalho foi vista como formativa, percebida como uma faculdade, momento de renovação, de capacitação. Algumas professoras destacam ter aprendido a dar aula, a avaliar e a ensinar adaptando o ritmo e conteúdos às necessidades dos alunos. A experiência de contrato é procurada como um possível trampolim para a condição de efetiva, desejo da maioria. Em relação à identidade, embora a experiência de trabalho tenha propiciado uma ressignificação do ser professora para algumas, criticam a falta de aval para a realização de alguns projetos, a falta de voz para a manifestação em alguns espaços, e outras se sentem uma mão de obra descartável, apesar de perceberem o quanto a escola precisa de seu trabalho. Demandam um tratamento mais igualitário, tanto em aspectos formais (horas trabalhadas, salário), quanto simbólico, e sugerem a valorização de sua experiência nos concursos para efetivos. A análise sociolinguístico-interacional mostra como as professoras procuraram, durante a interação, equilibrar a dupla hierarquia de poder (pesquisadora e professora efetiva x entrevistada e professora contratada) e o estigma do qualificante contratada, através de estratégias de anulação do estigma, por meio da construção de uma face de professoras competentes, merecedoras de pertencer ao Colégio Pedro II, ou pela denúncia do estigma que marca a situação de professora contratada. / [en] The thesis presents a research carried out with substitute teachers of the First Segment Department of the Colégio Pedro II and it has as the main question: What do the reports of the substitute teachers of the CPII s First Segment Department tell us about the meaning of their work, their identity and experience? As theoretical references, Tardif and Lessard (2005) were used for the reflections on the teaching work and theoretical categories (activity, experience and identity); Ball (2001, 2012), for the theoretical reflection on the concept of policy and policy enanctment, and Dubet (2014), for the discussion on inequalities. Goffman s concepts of face and stigma, among others, was used as theoretical-methodological reference, including the socio-linguistic-interactional analysis The research has a qualitative framework. The researcher used as strategies to collect and generate data: a) bibliographical research on laws and regulatory documents of the work of substitute teachers in Colégio Pedro II, b) semistructured interviews with fifteen teachers, c) fourteen interviews with schools managers and Teacher s Association delegates. Content analysis was used to analyze the data collected in documents and generated in interviews. The dialogue between Education and Language, especially Interational Sociolinguistics (GOFFMAN, 2013 [1964], 2013 [1979], b MISHLER, 1986a, 1986b), contributed to analyze the interviews as a social event. The interviewer s interaction with the interviewees and the construction of meaning by the actors were also placed in focus. As a result, the substitute teachers of Colégio Pedro II have more assured rights than colleagues from other networks in Brazil. Regarding the teaching activity, the teachers indicate that they value the school structure, both physical and pedagogical – the last carried out by the Orientation and Coordination teams. Despite the formal precariousness they are more satisfied than the substitute teachers of other networks, public or private. The work experience was perceived as formative, a faculty, renewal, empowerment moment. Some teachers emphasize having learned to teach, to evaluate, and also to teach by adapting the rhythm and content to the needs of the students. The experience of contract is sought as a possible trampoline to the condition of permanent teacher, the majority s desire. Regarding identity, although the work experience has led to a re-signification of being a teacher for some, they criticize the lack of endorsement for the realization of some projects, the lack of voice for the manifestation in some spaces. Some of the substitute teachers feel as a disposable labor even though they realize how much the school needs their work. They demand more egalitarian treatment, both in formal (worked hours, salary) and symbolic aspects, and they suggest that their experience should be valued in permanent teachers’selection. The sociolinguistic analysis shows how teachers manage, during the interviews, to balance the dual hierarchy of power (permanent teacher researcher vs. interviewed substitute teacher) and the stigma of the substitute, through stigma avoidance strategies and the construction of a competent teachers face, or through the reporting the stigma that marks the position of substitute teacher.

[pt] Pesquisa de caráter micro-analítico, utiliza os pressupostos da Sociolingüística Interacional para descrever e analisar o discurso oral institucional com o objetivo de estudar a quebra da expectativa do público no contexto de um serviço de atendimento telefônico encarregado da captação de anúncios classificados. Na construção dos dados, foram realizadas visitas à editora, entrevistas, consultas à documentos de pesquisa de mercado de propriedade da empresa e gravações dos atendimentos em áudio. Os resultados mostram que a quebra da expectativa do público em relação à empresa ocorre pela dissonância entre a prática e a publicidade veiculada pela empresa, por alinhamentos conflitantes entre os interesses da empresa versus os interesses do público e pelo enquadre assimétrico que coloca o público em posição secundária. Paralelamente aos traços lingüísticos, evidenciam-se os aspectos ético- filosóficos e mercadológicos subjacentes a encontros de serviço desta natureza que suscitam uma reflexão acerca da contribuição de posturas responsáveis na gestão de empresas em favor de uma melhor qualidade de vida. / [en] Case study based on Interactional Sociolinguistics principles, dealing with a micro-analysis of talk-in- interaction to investigate the defeat of expectation in the institutional discourse of a call-center service for classified ads. Data generating methods include field notes taken during visits to the company premises and interviews with some of the staff members; marketing research documents reading procedures and telephone call-service recordings and transcriptions. Data analysis has shown that the defeat of expectation built up by the public is due to cognitive dissonance between the actual vehicle practice and its publicity, as well as conflicting footings and asymmetrical alignments concerning the customers. Alongside linguistic traits, evidence of ethical and marketing aspects in this kind of institutional interaction points to the centrality of business ethics for more responsible management and better quality of life.

This thesis examines how men and women as co-interactants in management meetings use various interactional mechanisms to play out their roles and identities, as they position their ideas in a particular way for intended meaning and effect. The study aims to demonstrate how a particular approach to the examination of naturalistic data, gathered through the use of a case study design, based on recordings and supported by a number of ethnographic strategies can, when examined and informed by conversation analysis, pragmatics and more indirectly critical discourse analysis, generate further insights into the semantic and pragmatic meanings of utterances. The study focuses on four companies in postcolonial Zimbabwe, where the entry of women into senior management positions has changed the complexion of most organisations, but men continue to be the fundamental power brokers in the corporate workplace, which remains a site of social struggle where language, power and gender are important variables. This study finds that while perceptions of power may not vary significantly between men and women, how they use language to play out this power in meetings is of significance. The study suggests that gender-linked communication styles are reflected in management of talk in areas of influence, such as the corporate boardroom. It also shows that men and women, irrespective of their levels of position power or perceived power, present themselves in meetings in different ways, possibly due to gender-role socialisation processes. Apart from generating some new insights regarding theory and research methodology, and describing and interpreting male-female interaction in an under-researched domain (management meetings in a Zimbabwean corporate setting at a time of major socio-economic transformation), it is hoped that this study will also be of value at an applicational level: serving for instance to support applied linguistic goals such as the development of Language for Specific Purposes courses; and conscientising corporate citizens, in particular, to be more accommodating about, and appreciative of differences in communication styles that may be gender-based. / Linguistics / D.Litt. et Phil.
