O propósito principal desta pesquisa é mostrar, pelo viés da perspectiva bakhtiniana de enunciado, o uso de estruturas frasais fragmentadas em textos publicitários escritos como uma transgressão deliberada de regras de pontuação – pautadas eminentemente pela sintaxe –, constituindo-se em estratégia enunciativa cujos efeitos de sentido visam a atrair mais a atenção do interlocutor (consumidor), buscando sua adesão. Procuramos mostrar que os termos “frase” e “enunciado” são recorrentes em diversos estudos linguísticos, o que demonstra a importância que têm esses termos na metalinguagem desses estudos, embora eles sejam empregados para indicar uma diversidade de concepções. Tratamos do enunciado em uma perspectiva mais específica, a suscitada pelos pressupostos teóricos advindos de reflexões de e sobre Bakhtin. Reiterando o papel essencial que o autor atribui à entonação na construção do enunciado e considerando que, na escrita, ela está intimamente ligada à pontuação, esta é mostrada como manifestação eminentemente enunciativa, concentrando-nos no ponto, dito final. Tomando a noção bakhtiniana de gêneros como tipos relativamente estáveis de enunciados, trazemos questões decorrentes de pesquisas feitas essencialmente por estudiosos da área da publicidade, as quais procuram ilustrar aspectos relativos a textos publicitários, visando a situarmo-nos quanto a esse gênero textual, ao qual pertencem os recortes enunciativos que são objeto de análise. Apresentamos as análises que empreendemos, considerando recortes enunciativos em que aparecem estruturas frasais fragmentadas e em que o sinal empregado é o ponto, dito final. Consideramos que o que importa em tais situações não é a fronteira gramatical, da frase, mas a do enunciado, resultante da alternância entre os interlocutores. Levamos em conta a entonação como expressão de atitude do locutor para com o objeto da enunciação. Em todos os textos que analisamos, percebe-se claramente o acabamento específico do enunciado: os enunciadores escreveram tudo o que queriam dizer em cada situação, de modo a alcançarem uma atitude responsiva ativa de seus interlocutores. / The main purpose of this research is to show, from Bakhtin's perspective of the utterance, that the use of fragmented sentence structures in advertising texts can work out as a sort of deliberate transgression against punctuation rules – as these are eminently set by syntax –, thus constituting an utterance-making strategy whose effects in terms of meaning will aim at increasing the consumer's attention in order to win him or her over to what is being offered. Terms such as “sentence” and “utterance” are showed to have been used in various linguistic studies, which demonstrates the metalinguistic importance that those terms have for these studies, although they have quite often indicated a diversity of conceptions. Here, we have attempted to pinpoint the utterance in a much more specific perspective, such as this concept is found in works of and about Mikhail Bakhtin. By reiterating the essential role that Bakhtin ascribes to the intonation in the construction of the utterance, and by considering that, in written form, intonation can intimately be linked to punctuation, we have showed that punctuation (and mostly the “full stop”, on which we have focused) can be said to be an eminent uttering manifestation. From Bakhtin's understanding of genres as types of relatively stable utterances, we have brought into consideration some issues which essentially come from researches done on publicity and which try to illustrate aspects of texts used in advertising. Our attempt has thus been to have a clear vision of that textual genre, since the examples under our analysis here should all belong to it. Utterances are then analysed in which fragmented sentential structures are rounded off by a full stop. We believe now to be in such a position to demonstrate that what is most relevant in terms of communication is not so much the grammatical frontier, i.e. the sentence, but rather the utterance boundaries, which will come into play as a result of the alternation of turns between interlocutors. Intonation has also been taken into account, as it expresses the speaker's attitude towards the object of the utterance. In all the texts we have analysed, the specific finalisation of the utterance is clearly identifiable: in each and every situation, the enunciators have written all they wanted to say in order to obtain a responsive attitude from those who their utterances were intended to reach.

Ademais, as temáticas abordadas pelos materiais são, por vezes, distantes da realidade de grande parte dos alunos. Nesse contexto, este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar uma nova proposta interventiva em sala de aula, cuja finalidade era aproximar o estudo gramatical - mais especificamente da pontuação - do estudo textual à realidade do aluno, com base na abordagem da Análise Linguística (MENDONÇA, 2006; ANTUNES, 2003; 2014). Por meio disso, o estudante foi capaz de perceber a importância e o papel da pontuação nos mais diversos gêneros do cotidiano. Nesta pesquisa-ação, os alunos foram conduzidos a observar diversos gêneros do cotidiano e o uso da pontuação nesses gêneros. Dessa forma, produziram textos de alguns gêneros jornalísticos e, ao final do projeto interventivo, foi elaborado um jornal para ser distribuído na comunidade. Toda a sequência se pautou na reflexão linguística, epilinguística e metalinguística (FRANCHI, 1991), a fim de se alcançar a sistematização e a construção dos sentidos do texto, observando-se a importância da pontuação para tal (DAHLET, 2006). Os resultados obtidos nesta pesquisa-ação apontam para a necessidade de se estabelecer relação entre o ensino de pontuação e os gêneros textuais, por meio de procedimentos reflexivos, tendo em vista que no texto se revelam os usos linguísticos, por meio da produção e da recepção de sentido, a fim de se estabelecer a legibilidade e a interpretação. / The inefficiency of grammar rules teaching, which is often dissociated from their effective use in texts, has been verified in EJA materials. In addition, the themes addressed by the materials are sometimes far from the reality of most students. In this context, this thesis aims presented an didactic intervention proposal, whose purpose was to bridge the gap between the study of grammar - specifically punctuation - and text and the student reality, based on the Linguistic Analysis approach (MENDONÇA, 2006; ANTUNES, 2003; 2014). Through this, the student was able to perceive the importance and the role of punctuation in several genres of daily life. In this action research, students were led to observe different genres of everyday life in regard to how they are punctuated. Morevoer, they produced texts from various journalistic genres so that, at the end of the intervention project, a newspaper was prepared to be distributed in the community. The whole sequence was based on linguistic, epilingual and metalinguistic reflection (FRANCHI, 1991), in order to reach the systematization and the construction of the meanings of the text, observing the importance of the punctuation for such (DAHLET, 2006). The results obtained in this action research point to the need to establish a relationship between the teaching of punctuation and textual genres, through reflexive procedures, considering that the text reveals linguistic uses, through production and reception of meaning, in order to establish readability and interpretation.

Aucune étude systématique dans le domaine de la linguistique française n’a porté spécifiquement sur le morphème etc. Nous proposons de cerner les enjeux de cet objet linguistique et littéraire problématique, en diachronie puis en synchronie. Notre travail s’ouvre sur les questions de l’origine et la morphosyntaxe de etc. En effet, l’histoire de la langue permet d’observer le processus de figement partiel de la séquence « coordonnant + adjectif substantivé » et dans un même temps, de distinguer deux grands types d’emplois du morphème. Ces deux types d’emplois établissent un critère de classement pertinent pour toute étude synchronique portant sur la question du etc. De fait, si l’emploi de etc. correspond toujours à une pratique de l’interruption, il intervient soit à la fin d’une énumération, soit entre deux segments textuels. Cette partition nécessite deux niveaux d’analyse, le premier syntaxique, le second lié aux enjeux énonciatifs du texte.Nous avons donc appliqué ce principe de classement aux 350 occurrences de etc. appartenant à un corpus de six textes stendhaliens : De l’Amour, Racine et Shakespeare, Promenades dans Rome, Le Rouge et le Noir, Lucien Leuwen, Vie de Henry Brulard. Le cœur de notre travail se présente à la fois comme un classement de la totalité des occurrences du morphème et comme une analyse des enjeux d’occurrences choisies, à l’échelle phrastique ou textuelle. Une telle étude permet d’aborder un certain nombre de problématiques touchant à la l’utilisation du morphème etc. : effets d’ellipses et d’échos, enjeux des réduplications du morphème, jeux sur l’implicite, logiques référentielles mises en place par l’auteur, portée des ruptures énonciatives et conséquences sur la lecture. Nous entendons enfin montrer que etc. est un ponctème rythmant dont l’impact stylistique est systématiquement exploité par Stendhal. Révélateur d’une écriture qui donne à voir autant qu’elle laisse deviner, le etc. participe de la logique moqueuse, « cryptique » et conversationnelle des textes Stendhaliens. / No systematic study in the field of French linguistics has specifically focused on the morpheme etc. The purpose of this work is to analyse the linguistic and literary issues of this problematic object, first in diachrony and then in synchrony. Our study begins with the question of the origin and of the morphosyntax of etc. Through the history of the language we can observe the partial fossilisation of the sequence ‘coordinating conjunction + nominalised adjective’; we can also identify two main types of use of the morpheme. These two types establish a relevant criterion for the classification of any synchronic study on the issue of etc. If the use of etc. always corresponds to a practice of interruption, it can either take place at the end of an enumeration or in between two segments of text. This partition requires two levels of analysis, a syntactic one and one related to the enunciative issues of the text.We applied this ranking principle to 350 occurrences of etc. belonging to a compilation of six Stendhalian texts: De l’Amour, Racine et Shakespeare, Promenades dans Rome, Le Rouge et le Noir, Lucien Leuwen, Vie de Henry Brulard. The core of our work consists in both establishing the typology of the occurrences of this morpheme as well as the analysis of issues prompted by selected occurrences, on a phrasal or textual level.This study addresses a number of issues relating to the use the morpheme etc.: effects of ellipses and echoes, issues of reduplication of the morpheme, effects of the implicit, referential logics set up by the author, scope of the enunciative ruptures and their effects on the reader. Finally we intend to show that etc. is a beating ‘puncteme’ (acting as a modulating ‘punctuation mark’) whose rhythmical and stylistic impact is systematically exploited by Stendhal. Etc. is an essential part of the mocking, ‘cryptic’ and conversational logic of the works of Stendhal, revealing a writing which lets the reader see as much as it lets him guess.

Little thought has been given to asyndeton in modern texts, including the translated text. In fact, if manuals on French-to-English translation even mention this troublesome case of punctuation, they almost certainly warn the student translator against replicating it in English, even in literary translation. Writing norms would forbid it, they warn. It would be taken as merely a sloppy case of comma use. Although asyndeton is typically considered a faux pas in English, replicating it may not always be a mistake. Inspired by Québécoise author Catherine Harton’s Traité des peaux (an especially asyndetic collection of short stories published in 2015), this thesis aims to study how asyndeton may be successfully translated from French into English in literary texts. To do so, it adopts Sperber and Wilson’s relevance theory, noting how this theory not only accounts for poetic effects but also provides a principle that can guide translators as they seek to replicate these effects. This thesis then uses relevance theory to analyze cases of asyndeton drawn from three stories in Harton’s collection. The study concludes that there are at least six cases where asyndeton may be effectively translated as asyndeton in literary texts.

Den här uppsatsen består av en översättning från japanska till svenska av Yasutaka Tsutsuis Toki wo kakeru shoujo (Flickan som hoppade genom tiden) och en kommentar av översättningsprocessen. Syftet är att undersöka vilka problem som kan uppstå vid översättningen av anföring, interpunktion och interjektioner samt vilka strategier som kan tillämpas för att lösa dessa problem. Översättningen framställs med ett acceptansinriktat, målkultursorienterat förhållningssätt för att anpassa texten till de normer och förväntningar som är rådande i målkulturen. / This master’s thesis consists of a translation from Japanese to Swedish of Yasutaka Tsutsui’s Toki wo kakeru shoujo (The girl who leapt through time), and a commentary of the translation process. The purpose is to examine which problems may arise when translating reported discourse, punctuation and interjections, and what strategies can be used to solve these problems. The translation is performed with an orientation towards acceptability and the target culture, to try and conform the text to the norms and expectations of the target culture.

A escolha desses contextos de uso da vírgula não foi fortuita e se deu por duas razões: primeiro, pela dificuldade dos gramáticos, até o início do século XVIII, em definir as diferenças entre as orações completivas e as relativas restritivas e explicativas e, portanto, o uso de vírgula nesses tipos de construções também, e segundo, pela variação no uso de vírgula que se observa em textos literários escritos e publicados na época. Para a análise foi realizada a leitura de gramáticas e tratados de ortografia publicados do século XVI ao XIX e foi selecionado um corpus composto por quatorze textos de autores portugueses nascidos no mesmo período, do século XVI ao XIX, no qual foram realizadas buscas por todas as sentenças em que ocorrem os tipos de construções citados acima, precedida e não precedida por vírgula, com o auxílio da ferramenta de busca Corpus Search. Todos os dados, posteriormente, foram classificados segundo dois critérios: o primeiro de acordo com o ano e a presença ou não de vírgula antes da oração completiva, e o segundo de acordo com a presença ou não de um elemento interpolado entre o verbo e a oração completiva. Após a análise dos resultados, observou-se que a maioria dos dados tinha como verbo regente um verbo dos tipos de discurso, de pensamento ou de opinião, típicos de discurso relatado. Isso levou à hipótese e à confirmação de que a vírgula possuía mais uma função: de introduzir discurso relatado, além das descritas pelos gramáticos e ortografistas, que foi corroborada pelo fato de haver, nos mesmos textos, ocorrências com os mesmos verbos seguidos de dois pontos, que tem como função primeira introduzir citações e discursos indiretos na escrita. Além disso, notou-se também que, a partir do século XVIII, há uma queda progressiva na porcentagem de ocorrências com orações completivas precedidas por vírgula. Apesar do que as gramáticas da época mostram e alguns estudos, como o de Rocha (1997), afirmam, o modo de empregar a vírgula teria sofrido modificações desde a primeira metade do século XVIII, e não a partir do século XVII e nem mais tarde, a partir da segunda metade do século XVIII. Outro resultado interessante a que se chegou com este estudo, ainda que não seja categórico, foi o de que a variação no uso da vírgula entre uma oração completiva e o verbo que a rege nos textos quinhentistas e seiscentistas, embora à primeira vista pareça aleatória, poderia ter como motivação a presença ou não de um elemento seguindo o verbo. A análise pareceu mostrar que, quando não há nenhum elemento interpolado a preferência é pela não colocação de vírgula antes da oração completiva e quando há um elemento, a colocação de vírgula é mais frequente. Já quanto aos textos setecentistas e oitocentistas, foram poucos os casos com vírgula encontrados e desses, a maioria apresenta uma configuração bastante diferenciada, ou com uma oração relativa, uma oração parentética ou um vocativo, que devem obrigatoriamente ser isolados por pontuação, ou são ambíguos, podendo a oração completiva ser interpretada como complemento do verbo que a precede imediatamente ou como complemento ou adjetivo do verbo ou nome da oração anterior / Abstract: The objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of how the punctuation system of European Portuguese worked from 16th to 19th centuries, focusing on the analysis of the use of the comma before completive clauses selected by verb and noun. These contexts of use of the comma were chosen for two reasons: first, because of the difficulty the grammarians had in defining the differences between completive clauses and restrictive and explicative relative clauses and, therefore, the use of the comma in these contexts; and second, because of the variation in the use of the comma in literary texts written and published in the same period of time. For the analysis, we read grammars and orthography treatises published from 16th to 19th centuries and built a corpus composed of fourteen texts written by Portuguese authors born in the same period of time, in which we searched for all the sentences with a completive clause preceded or not by a comma with the help of the program Corpus Search. All data collected were, afterwards, classified according to two criteria: the author's birth year and whether there was a comma before the completive clause and whether there was an element interpolated between the verb and the completive clause. After analyzing the results, we observed that in most of the data the regent verb was a verb of discourse, thought or opinion, typical of reported speech. That led to the hypothesis that the comma had one more function, besides the one described by grammarians and orthographists: to introduce reported speech. That hypothesis was corroborated by the fact that in the same texts there are instances of the same type of verbs followed by a colon, whose main function is to introduce quotations and indirect speech in written texts. Moreover, we also noticed that from the 18th century on the percentage of instances of a completive clause preceded by a comma declines progressively. Besides what grammars and some works, like Rocha (1997), say, it seems that the use of the comma changed in the first half of the 18th century, and not from the 17th century on nor later, from the second half of the 18th century on. Another interesting result of this research, even though it is not categorical, was that the variation in the use of the comma between a completive clause and the regent verb in the 15th and 16th century texts is not random, but could be motivated by the presence or not of an element following the verb. The analysis showed that when there wasn't an element interpolated, the preference was not to put a comma before the completive clause, and when the element was present, the use of the comma was more frequent. In the 18th and 19th centuries texts only a few data with comma were found, of which most have a relative clause, a parenthetical clause or a vocative that must be isolated by a comma, after the verb, or are ambiguous and the completive clause may be interpreted as a complement of the preceding verb or as a complement or adjective of the verb of noun of the preceding clause / Mestrado / Linguistica / Mestra em Linguística

The present thesis analyses the use of the clausal comma in academic prose. The aim of this diploma thesis is to examine the hypothesis of relative inconsistency in the use of the comma in a multiple sentence formed by a native speaker of English. In Modern English, the descriptive approach prevails and therefore it is assumed that the comma usage varies. The factors that affect or, by interacting with other factors, contribute to the inclusion or the omission of the comma in a sentence are the length of the clause in both compound and complex sentences, the position of the clause in a sentence as well as the syntactic function of the adverbial clause in a complex sentence. The coordinate clauses are studied in terms of the presence and absence of the subject in the second conjoined clause and the semantic tightness of both clauses. Based on an analysis of 200 two-clause sentences (both compound sentences and complex sentences comprised of the matrix clause and an adverbial clause) excerpted from linguistic articles written by native speakers of English, the thesis categorises the sentences according to the dependency relation between the clauses, evaluates the frequency of the inclusion of the comma against its omission, and describes the potential factors that influenced the comma usage.
