The methodological option was the qualitative research, as a means to understand the educational proposal from this municipal corporation for the implementation of the policy of teenager in conflict with laws´s insertion. The methodological procedures have comprised the analysis of documents, interviews and observations. The theorist referential presents the teenager offender's report, with emphasis in the irregular situation doctrine for the integral protection and their right to the education, as alleged in the Child and Adolescent's Statute. Are also highlighted freirean referential categories in order to help the interpretation of the collected evidences and the proposition of overcoming experience challenges, with emphasis on the curriculum organization. The research revealed that they could identify structuring actions in Embu´s educational policy to ensure that the teenager in conflict with the law could be inserted in municipal system of education. Also in inspected school were observed procedures that consider the inclusion of these students in situation of vulnerability / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a política pública da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de EMBU, no que diz respeito ao acolhimento dos jovens em medida socioeducativa, chegando até uma escola para investigar os desafios da prática. A opção metodológica foi a pesquisa qualitativa, como meio de compreender a proposta educacional desse município para implementação da política de inserção do adolescente em conflito com a lei. Os procedimentos metodológicos incluíram a análise de documentos, a realização de entrevistas e observações. O referencial teórico apresenta o histórico do adolescente infrator, com ênfase na doutrina da situação irregular para a proteção integral e o seu direito à educação, conforme preconizado no Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente. Também são destacadas categorias do referencial freireano no sentido de auxiliar a interpretação das evidências colhidas e a proposição de superação dos desafios da prática, com destaque para a organização curricular. A pesquisa evidenciou que, na política educacional de EMBU, puderam ser identificadas ações estruturantes para garantir a inserção do adolescente em conflito coma lei na rede municipal de ensino. Também na escola pesquisada foram observados procedimentos contemplando a inclusão desses alunos em situação de vulnerabilidade

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar a progressão textual e a estrutura temática em resenhas produzidas por alunos no Ensino Superior, a partir dos pressupostos teórico da Linguística Sistêmico-funcional (HALLIDAY, 1978; HALLIDAY e MATTHIESSEN, 2004, 2014; MARTIN e ROSE, 2007; ROSE e MARTIN, 2012) aliados à Linguística Textual, a partir dos estudos de referenciação, numa perspectiva sociointeracionista (MONDADA, 2001; MONDADA e DUBOIS, 2003; MARCUSCHI, 1983 e 2008; KOCH et al.,2005; KOCH e ELIAS, 2010; KOCH, 2014; CAVALCANTE, 2011, 2012 e 2013; CAVALCANTE et al., 2014; e CIULLA, 2008). O que motivou este estudo foram as dificuldades enfrentadas por alunos, ao produzirem textos que exijam um rigor acadêmico, e o interesse por entender como o estudo dos processos de organização temática e referencial podem subsidiar o trabalho com a escrita acadêmica. Para tanto, os dados foram analisados a partir da metafunção textual, considerando os quatro estratos contextuais que envolvem o texto: o contexto de cultura e sua realização em gêneros, o contexto de situação por meio das variáveis de registro de campo, relações e modo, o estrato semântico-discursivo por meio da análise dos sistemas discursivos de identificação e periodicidade, e dos processos de referenciação, a fim de observar como os alunos constroem a progressão textual e as funções textual-discursivas mais recorrentes na composição do gênero resenha; e por fim, o estrato lexicogramatical analisado por meio da identificação da estrutura temática e estrutura da informação. Trata-se de um estudo de cunho qualitativo-interpretativo Os sujeitos de pesquisa foram alunos da Universidade Estadual do Rio grande do Sul (UERGS), frequentando o primeiro semestre em nível de graduação. O corpus é constituído por 10 (dez) textos do gênero resenha. Os resultados mostram que os padrões de estrutura temática estão diretamente relacionados à composição dos gêneros e ao conhecimento que os alunos possuem em relação à lexicogramática, aos aspectos semântico-discursivos e estruturais do texto. A análise do estrato discursivo-semântico permitiu olhar para a metafunção textual e entender como se dá o processo de progressão textual, a partir dos processos de progressão temática e progressão referencial. Pelos tipos de referências e estrutura temática presentes nos textos, pode-se concluir que os alunos têm conhecimento destas estratégias de construção textual, no entanto é evidente a necessidade de tornar este conhecimento explícito, de modo que suas produções evoluam em termos de qualidades discursivas. Por fim, como contribuição desta tese, espera-se despertar o interesse para a temática abordada, bem como oferecer subsídios teóricos e práticos para o planejamento de propostas de intervenção no contexto acadêmico, constituindo-se em uma importante ferramenta para o trabalho com a escrita e análise textual/discursiva no Ensino Superior. / The present thesis has as a general objective analyze the textual progression and thematic structure in reviews produced by students in Higher Education, based on the theoretical assumptions of Systemic Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY, 1978; HALLIDAY and MATTHIESSEN, 2004, 2014; MARTIN and ROSE , 2007; ROSE and MARTIN, 2012) allied to Textual Linguistics, supported by the referential studies, in a socio-interactionist perspective. (MONDADA, 2001; MONDADA and DUBOIS, 2003; MARCUSCHI, 1983 and 2008; KOCH et al.,2005; KOCH and ELIAS, 2010; KOCH, 2014; CAVALCANTE, 2011, 2012 and 2013; CAVALCANTE et al., 2014; and CIULLA, 2008). What motivated this study were the difficulties faced by students, when they produced texts with academic rigor demand, and the interest to understand how the study of the processes of referential and thematic organization and can support the work with academic writing. For this, the data were analyzed from the textual metafunction, considering four contextual strata that involve the text: the context of culture and its realization in genres, the context of situation across the variables of field, tenor and mode, the semantic-discursive stratum through the analysis of the discursive systems of identification and periodicity, and of the processes of reference, in order to observe how the students build textual progression the textual discourse functions, which are more used in the composition of review genre; and finally, the lexicogrammatical stratum analyzed through the identification of the thematic structure and information structure. This is a qualitative-interpretative study The investigation subjects were students of the Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul (UERGS), attending the first semester at undergraduate level. The corpus is constituted by 10 (ten) texts of the review genre. The results show that the patterns of thematic structure are directly related to the composition of the genres and to the knowledge that the students have in relation to the lexicogrammar, to the semantic-discursive and structural aspects of the text. The analysis of the discursive-semantic stratum allowed us to look at the textual metafunction and to understand how the process of textual progression occurs, from the processes of thematic progression and referential progression. For the types of references and thematic structure present in the texts, it can be concluded that the students are aware of these strategies of textual construction, however it is evident the necessity to become this knowledge explicit, in such a way that their productions develop in terms of discursive qualities. In conclusion, as a contribution of this thesis, it is hoped to awaken the interest for the approached topic, as well as to offer theoretical and practical subsidies for the planning of intervention proposals in the academic context, constituting an important tool for working with writing and textual/discursive analysis in Higher Education.

Esta tese procura identificar quais eram os principais objetivos intelectuais e políticos de Juan Natalicio González (1897-1966), um escritor paraguaio que desempenhou um amplo leque de atividades jornalista, ensaísta, editor, político, militante do Partido Colorado e diplomata. A partir da análise de suas biografias, de seus próprios textos (autobiografia, ensaios e a revista Guarania) e do resgate feito pela historiografia, consideramos que González atingiu parcialmente suas ambições políticas, na medida em que chegou a ser presidente de seu país, foi derrubado e já não pôde voltar a ocupar um papel protagonista na cena política nacional. Por outro lado, teve grande sucesso na difusão e na consolidação da interpretação revisionista da história paraguaia, ao articular-se em diversos grupos de intelectuais latino-americanos que reproduziram amplamente sua versão da história. / This thesis seeks to identify the main intellectual and political objectives of Juan Natalicio González (1897-1966), a Paraguayan writer who played an extensive variety of activities (journalist, essayist, editor, politician, Colorado Partys member and diplomatic). From the analysis of their biographies, their own texts (autobiography, essays and magazine Guarania) and the study done by historians we consider that Gonzalez partially achieved his political ambitions, because he became president of his country but he was deposed and did not return to play a leading role in the national political scene. He succeeded in spreading and consolidation of the revisionist interpretation of Paraguayan history, after participating in various groups of Latin American intellectuals who widely reproduced his version of the history.

Within the referential context (cf. MONDADA; DUBOIS, 1995, 2003), it is intended to show how the referential expressions may contribute to the subjective orientation of a speech, full of ambiguities and intentions. This analysis is within the Textual Linguistics, which considers the text, above all, a social interaction activity. It is specifically based on referential studies understood as speech objects building. The body of the research is comprised of excerpts from referred work. The conclusive results point to the fact that the choices of the referential expressions made by the narrator Bento Santiago significantly contribute to the full achievement of a speech project that aims at persuading the reader concerning the facts and characters that are part of his life. / Esta dissertação analisa o uso de expressões referenciais nominais no discurso de Bento Santiago, personagem da obra Dom Casmurro, do autor Machado de Assis, utilizadas para a caracterização de personagens e situações do romance com a finalidade de marcar subjetivamente seu discurso. Na perspectiva da referenciação (cf. MONDADA; DUBOIS, 1995, 2003), pretende-se mostrar de que maneira as expressões referenciais podem contribuir para a orientação subjetiva de um discurso repleto de ambiguidades e intenções. Essa análise situa-se no campo da Linguística Textual que considera o texto, acima de tudo, uma atividade de interação social. Baseia-se, especificamente, em estudos da referenciação entendida como construção de objetos-de-discurso. O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se de trechos da obra citada. Os resultados conclusivos apontam para o fato de que as escolhas das expressões referenciais feitas pelo narrador Bento Santiago contribuem muito para a realização plena de um projeto de dizer que objetiva persuadir o leitor acerca de fatos e personagens constituintes de sua história de vida.

A presente dissertação de mestrado é um estudo a respeito das práticas que engendram políticas públicas de desenvolvimento no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A partir da investigação de um movimento criado pelos empresários, tratase de desvendar a complexa trama que vincula as principais lideranças empresariais entre si, e, essas a autoridades governamentais. Examina-se o caminho percorrido desde a construção, elaboração de demandas, até o encaminhamento ao setor público das políticas do setor. Objetiva-se, por fim, analisar as concepções específicas de desenvolvimento que estão associadas ao processo de construção das referidas políticas. / The present master thesis is a study of the practices which engender public development policies in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Through the investigation of a movement formed by entrepreneurs, this work tries to unravel a complex business affair which ties the main business leadership among them and those governmental authorities. This work also examines the procedure from the construction and elaboration of demands, to the guiding to the public sector, as well as the policies of this sector. We aim to analyze the specific conceptions of development which are associated to the process of construction of the referred policies.

Ce travail examine la façon dont l’écriture styronienne met en lumière la faille temporelle de l’existence. Utilisant le mode d’analyse défini par la narratologie, il commence par étudier les variations spatio-temporelles que créent les analepses styroniennes. Puis, il montre comment ces variations permettent de dépasser l’illusion référentielle de l’histoire pour découvrir l’univers opératif du récit styronien. Enfin, il révèle la façon dont ce récit se fait à travers les drames, toujours différents, que donne le théâtre de l’expérience humaine. Se référant aux théories énoncées par la psychanalyse, et plus particulièrement par la psychanalyse lacanienne, ce travail étudie ensuite comment les romans styroniens dévoilent l’aporie temporelle dans laquelle l’homme évolue. Puis, il montre la façon dont ils dépeignent l’effet de cette aporie, l’Autre en l’homme, puis l’homme lui-même, alors qu’il préfère souvent ignorer le Nom-du-Père pour ne pas entendre la loi primordiale de l’existence. La dernière partie de cette recherche examine la manière dont les romans styroniens s’introduisent dans le domaine de l’histoire. Elle met d’abord en lumière le mouvement ternaire qu’adoptent, pour se former, le récit historique et le récit de fiction styronien, et montre que ce dernier procède d’un travail de signifiance et non de « représentance ». Puis, elle analyse comment William Styron décrit les hommes préférer la mémorisation à la re-mémorisation et produire ainsi l’oubli dans leur âme. Apparaît, en conclusion, le rôle que cet auteur propose de faire jouer à l’écriture romanesque comme remède à l’oubli historique aussi bien qu’à son œuvre destructrice. / This work examines the way Styronian writing highlights the temporal gap of existence. Using the mode of analysis defined by narratology, it begins by studying the variations of time and space that are created by Styronian analepses. Then, it shows how those variations allow the reader to go beyond the referential illusion of the story to discover the operative universe of the Styronian narrative. Finally, it reveals how the latter is constructed on the ever-changing dramas staged in the theatre of human experience. Then, referring to the theories of psychoanalysis and more particularly of Lacanian psychoanalysis, this work explores how Styronian novels disclose the temporal aporia in which man evolves. It also shows the way they describe the effect of this aporia, the Other in man, then man himself often preferring to ignore the Name-of-the-Father so as not to hear the primordial law of existence. The last part of this research examines the way Styronian novels enter the field of history. It starts by highlighting the ternary movement that both the historical narrative and the fictional narrative of William Styron adopt to construct themselves, and shows that the latter proceeds from a work of significance and not of “representance”. Then, it analyses how William Styron describes men preferring memorization to re-memorization thus creating oblivion in their souls. To conclude, it reveals the part this author offers fictional writing to play as a remedy for historical oblivion as well as for its destructive consequences.

<p>This thesis examines and measures differences in effciency between L1- and L2 language use for solving referential problems. Quantitative measures used in the study were time and error frequency. Qualitative measures, such as how the tasks and the participants own performance were experienced, were measured by an post interview and two questionaires. </p><p>Two different tasks, a sorting task and a construction task, in which each informant was given the role as a constructor or instructor, were used for data gathering. A total of 20 dyads, divided in two language groups (English and Swedish) participated in the study. </p><p>The results show large differences between the two language groups in respect to time for solving the two tasks. For the construction task, these were mainly due to different communication strategies used for error handling. In the sorting task a clear learning effect can be observed for the L2-groups which, in effect, makes the L2 users solve the sorting task almost as fast as the L1 groups, after an initial learning period. However, the informants in the L2 groups generally referred to the objects used in this task by describing peripheral characteristics of these objects. They also showed more signs of uncertainty and hesitation in the actual dialogue situation. However, no differences in error frequency could be found between the two language groups. </p><p>Differences in role-taking between the language groups were also made apparent in the study. These differences became especially clear for the L2 groups in the construction task.</p>

<p>Evolution is fuelled by independent reproduction events. Yet, the offspring of at least three percent of all bird species postpone dispersal and forego independent reproduction. The Siberian jay, <i>Perisoreus infaustus, </i>is such a species where some<i> </i>offspring are philopatric and remain in their natal territory for up to three years, forming family groups. The main finding of this thesis is that nepotistic anti-predator behaviour displayed by parents provided philopatric offspring benefits, which could be an incentive to stay and forego independent reproduction. Predation, (hawks - 80 % and owls - 15% of deaths observed) is the main cause of mortality. Parents increased their vigilance nepotistically; they were more vigilant against surprise predator attacks, and gave alarm calls when attacked when feeding together with offspring. However, the two parents differed in their behaviour. Mothers gave calls only when together with their offspring, while males also warned unrelated immigrants. Sitting predators were approached and mobbed more intensely by parents in the presence of philopatric offspring. The vocalisation of Siberian jays provides information about predation risk. Specific calls are given for hawks and owls, and calls also varied with hawk behaviour. The nepotistic anti-predator behaviour of parents is a benefit, which the offspring can gain only “at home”, and such behaviour appears to promote offspring to forego dispersal and independent reproduction. This was confirmed in an experimental manipulation; philopatric offspring dispersed when fathers were removed and replaced by a despotic, immigrant stepfather. From a life-history perspective, parents have an incentive to protect their reproductive investment. Nepotistic anti-predator behaviour create a safe haven in the natal territory for philopatric offspring and provides direct fitness benefits. Without such direct fitness benefits offspring may disperse and wait for a breeding opening elsewhere. </p>

Natural Language Processing (NLP) develops computational approaches to processing language data. Supervised machine learning has become the dominant methodology of modern NLP. The performance of a supervised NLP system crucially depends on the amount of data available for training. In the standard supervised framework, if a sequence of words was not encountered in the training set, the system can only guess at its label at test time. The cost of producing labeled training examples is a bottleneck for current NLP technology. On the other hand, a vast quantity of unlabeled data is freely available. This dissertation proposes effective, efficient, versatile methodologies for 1) extracting useful information from very large (potentially web-scale) volumes of unlabeled data and 2) combining such information with standard supervised machine learning for NLP. We demonstrate novel ways to exploit unlabeled data, we scale these approaches to make use of all the text on the web, and we show improvements on a variety of challenging NLP tasks. This combination of learning from both labeled and unlabeled data is often referred to as semi-supervised learning. Although lacking manually-provided labels, the statistics of unlabeled patterns can often distinguish the correct label for an ambiguous test instance. In the first part of this dissertation, we propose to use the counts of unlabeled patterns as features in supervised classifiers, with these classifiers trained on varying amounts of labeled data. We propose a general approach for integrating information from multiple, overlapping sequences of context for lexical disambiguation problems. We also show how standard machine learning algorithms can be modified to incorporate a particular kind of prior knowledge: knowledge of effective weightings for count-based features. We also evaluate performance within and across domains for two generation and two analysis tasks, assessing the impact of combining web-scale counts with conventional features. In the second part of this dissertation, rather than using the aggregate statistics as features, we propose to use them to generate labeled training examples. By automatically labeling a large number of examples, we can train powerful discriminative models, leveraging fine-grained features of input words.
