De acordo com Bakhtin, pode-se depreender que em todo enunciado há diálogo, ou seja, todo enunciado apresenta uma relação de sentido com outro enunciado, e esse é o princípio do dialogismo. Entendemos que todo discurso é constituído considerando o discurso do outro, estabelecendo, assim, relações de sentido. Destarte, todos os enunciados são dialógicos, sendo todo discurso ocupado pelo discurso alheio. A partir disso, analisamos o aparecimento da palavra do outro nas redações do vestibular da FUVEST, mais especificamente na forma de citações. Focamos nosso estudo na observação do aparecimento de citações nas melhores redações da FUVEST nos anos de 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 e 2012. Em seguida, após o levantamento desses dados, procuramos entender de que modo foi feita a apropriação da palavra do outro, ou seja, se por meio do discurso direto ou indireto. Para isso, utilizamos os escritos do Círculo de Bakhtin concernentes ao discurso de outrem e sobre as questões de estilo. Nesse sentido, este trabalho justificou-se pela necessidade de descobrir de que maneira as citações aparecem nas melhores redações da FUVEST. Além disso, ainda pensando na constituição dialógica do sujeito, utilizamos escritos sobre a relação constitutiva entre leitura e escrita e como essa relação influi na elaboração do conteúdo citado pelo candidato. Como resultado, entendemos, a partir da... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: This research proposal is based on Bakhtin's discourse studies. According to Bakhtin, it can be deduced that in every statement there is dialogue, that is, every statement presents a relation of meaning to another statement, and this is the principle of dialogism. We understand that every discourse is constituted considering the discourse of the other, thus establishing relations of meaning. Thus, all statements are dialogic, and every discourse is occupied by the discourse of others. From this, we analyze the appearance of the word of the other in the writing test from FUVEST entrance exam, more specifically in the form of quotations. We focused our study on the observation of quotations in the best compositions of FUVEST in the years 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Then, after the survey of these data, we try to understand how the appropriation of the word of the other was made, that is, whether through direct or indirect discourse. For this, we use the writings of the Circle of Bakhtin concerning the discourse of others and about questions of style. In this sense, this work is justified by the need to find out how quotations appear in the best writings tests from FUVEST. In addition, still concerning the individual's dialogic constitution, we used works about the constitutive relationship between reading and writing and how this relationship influences the elaboration of the content quoted by the candidate. As a result, we unders... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

This essay is an analysis of mythologies in the Swedish women´s magazine VeckoRevyn. The magazine’s own explicit purpose is to break down the unhealthy opinion of what beauty is in their industry today. By content and linguistic analysis the results of this study are interconnected to the beauty myth as it was established by Naomi Wolf in 1991. The goal is to pinpoint how VeckoRevyn’s question and answer columns construct relationships to their readers, and the mythologies that they maintain. The columns mostly focus on the readers’ physical appearance, and the beauty myth is clearly an inevitable influence. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the beauty myth is hard-wired into our society’s subconscious. VeckoRevyn is working to prevent this, and even though they have not fully succeeded, they are a part of bringing the phenomenon to the surface of society.

A growing body of research suggests that patterns of personal pronoun use in couples - particularly we-talk (first person plural pronouns) and you-talk (second person pronouns) - are potentially meaningful markers of adaptive and maladaptive functioning, respectively. Despite this growing couple literature, very little is known about the relational implications of we-talk and you-talk in larger social units like families, where relevant interaction patterns are often triadic and involve members of different generations. The present study employed baseline observational and self-report data from a multi-site study of family therapy for adolescent substance drug abuse to (a) describe patterns of personal pronoun use in families consisting of two parent figures and at least one adolescent child, during conversations that had a collaborative (plan a menu) and a conflictual (discuss a recent argument) valence; and (b) explore associations between pronoun patterns and various indicators of adaptive adolescent and family functioning. As hypothesized, automated text analysis of transcripts from 74 English speaking families revealed more we-talk in the cooperative (menu) task, more you-talk and I-talk in the conflict (argument) task, and significant variations in pronoun frequency by family role (more I-talk by adolescents, more we-talk and you-talk by parents). Additional coding, guided by structural family systems theory, took into account the source and referent of each pronoun utterance (e.g., parent-parent we-talk, cross-generation you-talk), and these structural pronoun variables showed stronger associations with concurrently observed family interaction patterns than global (raw count) pronoun variables did. Contrary to expectation, you-talk was a stronger predictor of concurrent family behavior and adaptive youth/family functioning than we-talk, and associations between pronoun patterns and indicators of adaptive functioning were stronger for the conflict task than the cooperation task. The results suggest that relational meanings of pronouns are substantially more complex in triadic intergenerational family interactions than in dyadic romantic relationships. Discussion of these results includes study limitations and possible directions for further research.

<p>This study uses an interdisciplinary approach in the analytical framework combining Systemic Functional Linguuistic theoty (SFL) (Martin 1992 / Halliday 19994) and critical discourse analysis (CDA) (Wodak 7 meyer 2001 / Fairclough 1989, 1993, 1995, 2001). Further, the study draws on christie's (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005) work on classroom discourse analysis, which in turn builds on Bernstein's (1990, 1996, 2000) model on pedagogic practice and interaction, to examine dominanceand power relationsin the classroom. The interdisciplinary approach enabled this study to evaluate Al-Thadi university students' English language competence, linguistically and textually.</p>
