Defesa: Curitiba, 22/02/2017 / Inclui referências : f. 68-70 / Área de concentração: Estudos linguísticos / Resumo: Analisamos artigos de opinião publicados na revista americana The New Yorker a fim de investigar estratégias de interação discursiva na modalidade escrita da língua inglesa. A análise se concentra em elementos metadiscursivos que explicitam a influência da audiência imaginada na construção dos efeitos de sentido no discurso (Thompson, 2001; Hyland, 2004; 2005). O principal elemento é a inclusão da voz do destinatário no texto ("the reader-in-the-text", Thompson e Thetela, 1995), que revela a projeção do ethos discursivo do enunciador (Maingueneau, 2011) em relação ao pathos de seu interlocutor presumido. As evidências linguísticas que fundamentam nossa pesquisa apontam para a recorrência de traços interacionais no discurso argumentativo, entre os quais se destacam perguntas retóricas, dirigidas ou atribuídas ao interlocutor; estruturas concessivas; e o uso argumentativo de pronomes. Por meio da análise de nosso corpus, propomos que o metadiscurso interacional (Hyland, 2005) deve informar o desenvolvimento do conhecimento necessário à recepção e à produção de textos argumentativos, o que discutimos à luz de estudos do discurso. Palavras-chave: Metadiscurso interacional. Ethos. Língua inglesa. Análise do discurso. / Abstract: We analyze opinion articles published in The New Yorker magazine in order to investigate discursive interaction strategies in written English. The analysis focuses on metadiscursive elements that make explicit the influence of the imagined audience on the construction of meaning in discourse (Thompson 2001; Hyland 2004, 2005). The main element is the inclusion of the reader's voice in the text (Thompson and Thetela, 1995), which reveals the projection of the writer's discursive ethos (Maingueneau, 2011) in relation to the pathos of its presumed reader. The linguistic evidence on which our research is based points to the recurrence of interactional traits in argumentative discourse, among which are highlighted rhetorical questions, addressed or attributed to the interlocutor; concessive structures; and the argumentative use of pronouns. Through the analysis of our corpus, we propose that interactional metadiscourse (Hyland, 2005) should inform the development of the necessary knowledge for the reception and production of argumentative texts, which we discuss in the light of discourse studies. Key words: Interactional metadiscourse. Ethos. English language. Discourse analysis.

There has been an upward trend of construction injuries and fatalities in the recent decade. Regulatory agencies, such as the NYC Department of Buildings, exist to create and modify construction safety laws, review construction projects, and enforce these laws through site inspections, and often make the data they collect available to the public. However, there is a lack of predictive modeling and a lack of research regarding how to make a proactive prediction of potential injuries and fatalities on construction sites. This study uses public data to predict future construction incidents using leading indicators from information gathered from the NYC permits-issued and complaints-received databases. Results indicate that it is possible to predict future construction incidents over multiple forecast windows using a logistic regression and zero-inflated Poisson model. While previous site incidents alone are significant in predicting future incidents, adding permit and complaint related information increased the true positive rate and decreased the false-negative rate.

"The greater the variety of people who succeed in unlocking the store-house to their intellectual heritages, the greater the bounty of the librarian. It is with these thoughts in mind that the present study is undertaken, the analysis and evaluation of the contribution of a single publishing house in the production and promotion of books characterized as 'the classics which are our heritage from the past in editions which are the heritage of the future.' The firm is the Heritage Press and its outlet, the Heritage Club, an organization which may well be studied to ascertain its contributions to some readers' intellectual heritage. The first step will be to relate the history, purpose, and organization of the club. Next, by making use of the publisher's statements in the house organ, the Prospectus for the Eighteenth Series, 1953, the publications will be analyzed"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "May, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Robert G.
