The use of foreign words is seen as a phenomenon whose milestone is inserted within the history of composition of a certain language and reaches any coexistence. Grounded by the principles and presuppositions of Lexicology, and guided by a general objective to try to understand the strategies adopted by users of the Brazilian Portuguese language in the process of transference of foreign words in linguistic loans the investigative route is guided by three different focuses. One of them emphasizes the cultural and historical point of view, giving importance to different contexts of human social formations, in the flow of their constructions, in order to place in them the composition of the Brazilian Portuguese language as a product of contact between different peoples, users of different languages; another one, broader, concerns social, historical and cultural contexts that comprise human social formations supported by the development of technologies; and the last one is limited to linguistic studies that mainly focus on the lexical, aiming at determining the strategies implied in the process of nationalization of foreign words that, in the current coexistence, were or are being incorporated into the Brazilian Portuguese language vocabulary. The methodological procedure implied the selection and analysis of a corpus, in order to provide examples, comprised of words from the English language, selected from different semantic fields, in order to focus on the transference processes of foreign words in lexical loans, paying special attention to the comparison with the foundation milestone of the categories: projection, transfer and identity: those that ensure, by analogical principles, identify the non familiar by the familiar . It is important to notice that, for the analyses, the words and their respective contents were considered in their phonological, morphosyntatic and semantic dimensions. The results obtained show that the acquisition and use of new words, as well as of a foreign language, never take place in an isolated manner, but in the flow of speech and is grounded on the previous knowledge of the speaker. Therefore, the use of foreign words requires from the user who does not speak the English language a greater effort of interpretation and comprehension, even when the cultural repertoire of the English language is used in sentences structured by phrasal categories of the Portuguese language. It was also noticed that the words become Portuguese words in the phonetic point of view and, when integrated into the vocabulary system, become productive in a way that the new lexical matrix begins to support the product of new vocabulary forms; therefore, the loans are explained by the lexical productivity / Esta Dissertação situa-se na linha de pesquisa História e Descrição da Língua Portuguesa, do Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Língua Portuguesa da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo e compreende uma investigação exploratória, cujo objeto de estudo está circunscrito aos estrangeirismos presentificados no idioma português-brasileiro. Postula-se o uso de estrangeirismo como um fenômeno cujo marco se inscreve na própria história da formação de um dado idioma e se estende a qualquer contemporaneidade. Fundamentado pelos princípios e pressupostos da Lexicologia, e norteado por um objetivo geral buscar compreender as estratégias empregadas pelos usuários do idioma português-brasileiro nos processos de transmudação dos estrangeirismos em empréstimos lingüísticos o percurso investigativo está traçado por três focalizações. Uma que privilegia o ponto de vista histórico-cultural, atribuindo relevo a diferentes contextos das formações sociais humanas, no fluxo de suas construções, para neles situar a formação do idioma português-brasileiro como um produto de contato entre diferentes povos, usuários de línguas diferentes; outra mais ampla referente a contextos sócio-histórico-culturais que configuram formações sociais humanas que têm por suporte o desenvolvimento de tecnologias; e uma última circunscrita aos quadros dos estudos lingüísticos que privilegiam o léxico, com vistas a verificar quais são as estratégias implicadas no processo de nacionalização de vocábulos estrangeiros que, na atual contemporaneidade, foram ou estão sendo incorporados ao vocabulário do idioma português-brasileiro. O procedimento metodológico implicou a seleção e análise de um corpus, a título de exemplificação, composto de palavras do idioma inglês, selecionadas a partir de diferentes campos semânticos, no qual se busca focalizar os processos de transmudação de estrangeirismos em empréstimos lexicais, privilegiando a comparação com o marco fundador das categorias: projeção, transferência e identidade: aquelas que asseguram, por princípios analógicos, identificar o não familiar pelo familiar . Ressalta-se que, para as análises, as formas vocabulares e seus respectivos conteúdos foram considerados em sua dimensão fonológica, morfossintática e semântica. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a aquisição e uso de novos vocábulos, bem como de uma língua estrangeira, nunca ocorrem de forma isolada, e sim no fluxo da discursivização e têm por ancoragem os conhecimentos prévios do falante. De forma que, a utilização de palavras estrangeiras exige do usuário não falante do idioma inglês um maior esforço de interpretação e de compreensão mesmo quando o repertório cultural da língua inglesa é empregado em enunciados estruturados pelas categorias frasais da língua portuguesa. Constatou-se, ainda, que os vocábulos são aportuguesados pelo ponto de vista fonético e, quando integrados ao sistema vocabular, se tornam produtivos de forma que a nova matriz lexical passa a sustentar a produção de novas formas vocabulares; portanto os empréstimos são explicados pela produtividade lexical

No. of bitstreams: 1 SILVA, Geysa Andrade da.pdf: 4591061 bytes, checksum: 4033e84eb670f9950a38e4fe6d1bef58 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-02-22 / The lexicon is a dynamic and flexible repertoire of words which many theorists have examined. For being quite diverse, it has a considerable potential for research and although it is far from exhaustion, all production has been very promising. According to Oliveira and Isquerdo (2001), even if the window through which a community can see the world is an abstract unit, it is possible to construct a verifiable rational and systematic knowledge, that is science, of its elements. From the need to explore this lexical inventory, the following question has been developed: do the lexical items produced provide data that mark the lexical variation of the gypsies? The research demanded an investigation in loco in cities of Bahia (Miguel Calmon and Jacobina ? Meso-region of the Center-North of Bahia) and of Pernambuco (Flores and Ouricuri ? Meso-region of Pernambuco?s Sert?o) from which the diatopic variation identified in sample data can be demonstrated. Respondents, men and women of different age groups - for diagenetic and diagenerational variation - gypsies, as well as other social information, responded to the structured instrument, excerpt of Semantic-Lexical Questionnaire of Linguistic Atlas of Brazil ? ALiB, specifically six questions of the semantic area of Games and children's recreation, through which it was tried to document the variation of the most general denominations of use or other specific denominations of the group. From the analysis of this corpus, the lexical contributions that mark the identity of the gypsy people were identified and the extra linguistic conditioners that influence the lexical realization of the gypsy community were verified. Linguistic factors, although conditioning factors of the variation, were not object of study in this work, they proved, therefore, inappropriate for the lexical level in question. The course with the gypsy groups drew restrictions at the questionnaire level, just as the Ethics Committee required the release of enough energy. The methodology and procedures are based on those adopted by ALiB. A lexicon search aims to determine the origin, form, and meaning of the words that make up the collection of a language; the one proposed here is based on analysis of Lexicology, Sociolinguistics and Dialectology since it aims to observe the use of the word in the community of speakers. The results indicate that the lexical variation is basically a result of the region where the speaker is inserted, and sometimes other variations due to age, sex, educational level, and not ethnicity. / O l?xico ? um repert?rio de palavras din?mico e flex?vel, no qual diversos te?ricos t?m se debru?ado. Por ser bastante diversificado, possui um potencial consider?vel para investiga??o e, embora se esteja longe da exaust?o, toda a produ??o tem sido muito promissora. Como atestam Oliveira e Isquerdo (2001), mesmo sendo uma unidade abstrata, a janela atrav?s da qual uma comunidade pode ver o mundo ? poss?vel construir um conhecimento verific?vel, racional e sistem?tico, ou seja, cient?fico dos seus elementos. A partir da necessidade de explorar esse invent?rio lexical, debru?ou-se o olhar sobre o seguinte questionamento: os itens lexicais produzidos fornecem dados que marcam a varia??o lexical dos ciganos? A pesquisa demandou uma investiga??o in loco em cidades da Bahia (Miguel Calmon e Jacobina ? Mesorregi?o do Centro-Norte Baiano) e de Pernambuco (Flores e Ouricuri ? Mesorregi?o do Sert?o Pernambucano) de onde se pode demonstrar a varia??o diat?pica identificada em dados da amostra. Os informantes inquiridos, homens e mulheres de diferentes faixas et?rias ? para depreens?o da varia??o diagen?rica e diageracional - da etnia cigana, al?m de outras informa??es sociais, responderam ao instrumento estruturado, que para essa pesquisa ? um extrado do Question?rio Sem?ntico-Lexical do Atlas Lingu?stico do Brasil ? ALiB, especificamente seis quest?es da ?rea sem?ntica de Jogos e divers?es infantis, atrav?s do qual buscou-se documentar a varia??o das denomina??es de emprego mais geral ou outras denomina??es espec?ficas do grupo. A partir da an?lise desse corpus, foram identificadas quais as contribui??es lexicais que marcam a identidade do povo cigano e verificados os condicionantes extralingu?sticos que influenciam na realiza??o lexical da comunidade cigana. Fatores lingu?sticos, apesar de condicionantes da varia??o, n?o foram objeto de estudo neste trabalho, demonstraram-se, pois, inapropriados para o n?vel lexical em quest?o. O percurso com os grupos ciganos desenhou restri??es a n?vel do question?rio, assim como o Comit? de ?tica exigiu desprendimento de bastante energia. A metodologia e os procedimentos baseiam-se nos adotados pelo ALiB. Uma pesquisa sobre o l?xico procura determinar a origem, a forma e o significado das palavras que constituem o acervo de um idioma; a que aqui est? proposta tem como base de an?lise a Lexicologia, a Sociolingu?stica e a Dialetologia uma vez que se procura observar o uso da palavra na comunidade dos falantes. Os resultados indicam que a varia??o lexical ? fruto, basicamente, da regi?o em que o falante est? inserido, e por vezes, outras varia??es por conta da idade, sexo, grau de escolaridade, e n?o da etnia.

Therefore, documentary collections are an invaluable source of philological-linguistic research. In this sense, we selected as corpus of this dissertation the crime of robbery followed by rape of Maria Francisca de Jesus and Maria dos Santos. It is a manuscript document with 56 folios, mostly written in the straight and verse, drafted in 1914, which is under the guardian of the Documentation and Research Center (CEDOC), located at the State University of Feira de Santana-BA. Thus, we undertake two main objectives: the first one, referring to the philological character, is about the fac-similar and semidiplomatic editions of the corpus, highlighting some paleographic and codicological aspects of the document. The second main objective, from the semidiplomatic edition, the lexical study based on Eug?nio Coseriu's Methodology of Lexical Fields (1977), evidencing the vocabulary of crime contained in the corpus, from which fifty-one lexias were selected. We highlight the use of the AntConc computational tool (ANTHONY, 2016) for the investigation of lexias referring to the field of crime, as well as contexts of occurrences. As a theoretical basis, in the philological area, we use authors such as Spina (1977 and 1994), Cambraia (2005), Spaggiari and Perugi (2004), among other references; in the lexicological area, in turn, we had as theoretical foundation Eugenio Coseriu ([1977] 1991 and 1987), Abbade (2006 and 2011), Mario Vilela (1994), Biderman (1981 and 1998), among others. We emphasize that we also discuss some socio-historical aspects related to violence in the city of Feira de Santana, according to the period that places the corpus. Concerning to the violence in the city of Feira de Santana, we use as references Poppino (1968), Oliveira (2000) and some newspaper clippings from Folha do Norte (1909-1913). Therefore, in making the facultative and semidiplomatic editions of the crime of robbery and rape, from the beginning of the twentieth century, we contributed to the non-deterioration of the document, facilitating the reading of it by future researchers from different areas. This study stamped through its lexical estate, daily historical, social, political and cultural configurations of local communities of the city of Feira de Santana-BA / Os registros escritos representam o pensamento e a linguagem humana, e a partir deles ? poss?vel desvendar o modo de vida de uma sociedade, em um determinado per?odo. E, assim sendo, os acervos documentais se constituem como fontes inestim?veis de investiga??es filol?gico-lingu?sticas. Neste sentido, selecionamos como corpus desta disserta??o o processo crime de roubo seguido de estupro de Maria Francisca de Jesus e Maria dos Santos, documento manuscrito com 56 f?lios, em sua maioria escritos no recto e verso, lavrado em 1914, o qual est? sob a guarda do Centro de Documenta??o e Pesquisa (CEDOC), localizado na Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana ? BA. Assim, empreendemos dois objetivos principais: o primeiro, referente ao cunho filol?gico, pauta-se nas edi??es fac-similar e semidiplom?tica do corpus, destacando alguns aspectos paleogr?ficos e codicol?gicos do documento; e o segundo, a partir da edi??o semidiplom?tica, o estudo do l?xico com base na Metodologia dos Campos Lexicais de Eug?nio Coseriu (1977), evidenciando o vocabul?rio do crime contido no corpus, do qual foram selecionadas cinquenta e uma lexias. Destacamos o uso da ferramenta computacional AntConc (ANTHONY, 2016) para o levantamento das lexias referentes ao campo do crime, bem como dos contextos das ocorr?ncias. Como embasamento te?rico, na ?rea filol?gica, utilizamos estudiosos como Spina (1977 e 1994), Cambraia (2005), Spaggiari e Perugi (2004), entre outras refer?ncias; na ?rea lexicol?gica, por sua vez, tivemos como fundamenta??o te?rica Eugenio Coseriu ([1977] 1991 e 1987), Abbade (2006 e 2011), Mario Vilela (1994), Biderman (1981 e 1998), dentre outros. Ressaltamos que tamb?m discutimos, neste trabalho, alguns aspectos s?cio-hist?ricos, relacionados ? viol?ncia na cidade de Feira de Santana, de acordo com a ?poca em que o corpus se insere. No que concerne ? viol?ncia na cidade de Feira de Santana, utilizamos como refer?ncias Poppino (1968), Oliveira (2000) e alguns recortes de not?cias do Jornal Folha do Norte (1909-1913). Portanto, ao realizarmos as edi??es fac-similar e semidiplom?tica do processo crime de roubo e estupro, do in?cio do s?culo XX, contribu?mos para a n?o-deteriora??o do documento, facilitando a leitura do mesmo por pesquisadores futuros de ?reas diversas, al?m de ter estampado, atrav?s do seu esp?lio lexical, configura??es de cotidianos hist?ricos, sociais, pol?ticos e culturais de comunidades locais da cidade de Feira de Santana ?

Par sa différence et par sa similitude, l’homme à la peau foncée interpelle les anciens qui, dès les savants grecs, ont voulu trouver des raisons géographiques et climatiques, c’est-à-dire ‘scientifiques’, à son altérité. C’est le monde romain antique qui a été choisi comme cadre du présent travail. On y utilise un corpus de textes littéraires, historiques et philosophiques latins, considérés dans un éventail chronologique large (du IIe s. av. J.-C. au Ve s. ap. J.-C.), sans s’interdire éventuellement la comparaison avec les référents grecs. Le travail s’appuie sur une démarche lexicologique, avec l’étude des mots latins de couleur et de leurs connotations, pour mener une enquête sur les interactions entre l’évocation de la couleur de peau ‘autre’ et les concepts sociaux, philosophiques, religieux du monde romain antique. On cherche quels sont les hommes à la peau foncée avec lesquels les Romains ont été en contact, qui sont venus dans la Ville, et quelle place ils y ont tenue, restreinte entre quelles limites et vouée à quelles fonctions, avec quel impact sur leur nouvel environnement — et sur eux-mêmes. On sollicite aussi, le cas échéant, la documentation iconographique. On explore le domaine de la littérature patristique, dans laquelle l’homme à la peau foncée occupe une certaine place, et l’on cherche à caractériser la dimension symbolique qu’il acquiert chez les premiers écrivains chrétiens. On retient de manière critique les apports des spécialistes précédents qui se sont occupés de la question (F. M. Snowden, L. S. Senghor), en tenant compte de la difficulté qu’éprouvent des modernes à s’abstraire de leur propre univers culturel, conceptuel et intellectuel pour étudier ces réalités du contact entre gens à la couleur de peau différente dans le monde romain de l’Antiquité. / By its difference and its similarity, the man with the dark skin appeals to the elders who, from the Greek scientists, wanted to find geographical and climatic reasons, that is to say “scientific reasons”, to his otherness. It is the ancient Roman world that was chosen as the framework of this research. A corpus of literary, historical and philosophical Latin texts is used in a wide chronological range (from the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD), however, in comparison with the Greek referents. The work is based on a lexicological approach, with the study of the Latin words of color and their different connotations, to investigate the interactions between evocation of skin color 'other' and social, philosophical, religious of the ancient Roman world. What are the dark-skinned men with whom the Romans came in contact, who came to the city, and what place they held, restricted between what limits and what functions, with what impact on their new environment - and on themselves. If necessary, the iconographic documentation is also requested. The field of patristic literature is explored, in which the dark-skinned man occupies a certain place, and we try to characterize the symbolic dimension that he acquires in the early Christian writers. The contributions of the foregoing experts (Fr. M Snowden Jr., L. S Senghor) are critically taken into account, taking into account the difficulty experienced by moderns in abstracting from their own cultural, conceptual and intellectual study these realities of contact between people with different skin color in the Roman world of antiquity.

The present thesis addresses the relationship between the structure and social functions of language through the study of an Afro-Brazilian Portuguese speech community. The adopted methodological, analytical, and theoretical standpoints have their origin in linguistic anthropology, social psychology of language and discourse analysis. A set of data was collected during extensive fieldwork in Salvador (Brazil), and consists of recordings of informal conversations with and between followers of Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion. Focusing on the communicative process in a specific communicative setting, the linguistic analyses illustrate the relationship between language and identity by examining theway in which expressions of African origin function as identity markers. In order to connect such Africanisms used by Candomblé followers in their everyday speech with the linguistic attitudes and ideologies found in Brazilian society throughout history, an interdisciplinary approach was called for and factors that affect the speech community’s ethnolinguistic vitality were explored. Linguistic attitudes and ideologies that have influenced group vitality were analyzed in the socio-political context (or macro-context). At the same time, the purpose was to understand communication within the sacred space of Candomblé by examining issues such as changes in linguistic forms and functions in the communicative situation (or microcontext). Apart from revealing patterns of communication in Candomblé communities, the results of the analyses show how linguistic changes such as re-Africanization are triggered by changes of attitudes in society. These changes affect speakers’ identities and language use within speech communities.

Ce mémoire présente une évaluation des différentes méthodes utilisées en lexicographie afin d’identifier les liens lexicaux dans les dictionnaires où sont répertoriées des collocations. Nous avons ici comparé le contenu de fiches du DiCo, un dictionnaire de dérivés sémantiques et de collocations créé selon les principes de la lexicologie explicative et combinatoire, avec les listes de cooccurrents générées automatiquement à partir du corpus Le Monde 2002. Notre objectif est ici de proposer des améliorations méthodologiques à la création de fiches de dictionnaire du type du DiCo, c’est-à-dire, des dictionnaires d’approche qualitative, où la collocation est définie comme une association récurrente et arbitraire entre deux items lexicaux et où les principaux outils méthodologiques utilisés sont la compétence linguistique de ses lexicographes et la consultation manuelle de corpus de textes. La consultation de listes de cooccurrents est une pratique associée habituellement à une approche lexicographique quantitative, qui définit la collocation comme une association entre deux items lexicaux qui est plus fréquente, dans un corpus, que ce qui pourrait être attendu si ces deux items lexicaux y étaient distribués de façon aléatoire. Nous voulons mesurer ici dans quelle mesure les outils utilisés traditionnellement dans une approche quantitative peuvent être utiles à la création de fiches lexicographiques d’approche qualitative, et de quelle façon leur utilisation peut être intégrée à la méthodologie actuelle de création de ces fiches. / This paper presents an evaluation of the various methods used in lexicography in order to identify the lexical bonds in dictionaries where collocations are indexed. We compared the contents of entries of the DiCo, a dictionary of semantic derivatives and collocations created according to the principles of explanatory and combinative lexicology, with the lists of cooccurrents generated automatically from the Le Monde 2002 corpus. Our objective here is to propose improvement in the methodology of creation of dictionary entry of DiCo-like dictionaries, i.e., dictionaries of a qualitative approach, where collocation is defined as the recurring and arbitrary associations between two lexical items and where the principal methodological tools used are the linguistic ability of its lexicographers and the manual consultation of corpus of text. The consultation of lists of cooccurrents is a practice associated traditionally with a quantitative lexicographical approach, which defines collocation as an association between two lexical items, which is more frequent, in a corpus, than what could be expected if these two lexical items were randomly distributed in corpus. We want to evaluate in what respect the tools used traditionally in a quantitative approach can be used for the creation of lexicographical entries of a qualitative approach, and how their use can be integrated into the current methology of creation of these entries.

Cette recherche porte sur la lexicologie, la lexicographie et l’enseignement/apprentissage du lexique. Elle s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet Modélisation ontologique des savoirs lexicographiques en vue de leur application en linguistique appliquée, surnommé Lexitation, qui est, à notre connaissance, la première tentative d’extraction des savoirs lexicographiques — i.e. connaissances déclaratives et procédurales utilisées par des lexicographes — utilisant une méthode expérimentale. Le projet repose sur le constat que les savoirs lexicographiques ont un rôle crucial à jouer en lexicologie, mais aussi en enseignement/apprentissage du lexique. Dans ce mémoire, nous décrirons les méthodes et les résultats de nos premières expérimentations, effectuées à l’aide du Think Aloud Protocol (Ericsson et Simon, 1993). Nous expliquerons l’organisation générale des expérimentations et comment les savoirs lexicographiques extraits sont modélisés pour former une ontologie. Finalement, nous discuterons des applications possibles de nos travaux en enseignement du lexique, plus particulièrement pour la formation des maîtres. / This research is about lexicology, lexicography and vocabulary teaching/learning. It is part of a project called Ontologization of lexicographic abilites for use in the fields of applied linguistics, nicknamed Lexitation, which is, to our knowledge, the first attempt at extracting lexicographic abilities using experimental techniques. The project relies on the assumption that lexicographic abilities play a role in teaching and acquisition of lexical knowledge, and not only in lexicography per se. We will describe the methods and results of our initial set of experiments, that are based on the use of so-called Think Aloud Protocol (Ericsson et Simon, 1993). We will explain how experiments have been set up and how we are currently proceeding with the extraction and modeling of various types of knowledge and strategies used by lexicographers while performing lexicographic tasks. Finally, we will present possible applications of our work in the field of language teaching, more specifically, teachers’ training.
