Esta tese tem por objetivo abordar o universo lingüístico-poético-musical em que se expressa o cantor, compositor, ator, dançarino, violinista e rabequeiro pernambucano Antonio Nóbrega, tomando como base três campos da língua portuguesa: estilística, semântica e dialetologia. O estudo tem como ponto de partida o repertório dos cinco CDs gravados por ele no período de 1996 a 2002 (Na pancada do ganzá, Madeira que cupim não rói, Pernambuco falando para o mundo, O marco do meio-dia e Lunário perpétuo), discos que resultam de espetáculos homônimos. Com base no corpus aqui analisado, serão feitas aproximações entre os pressupostos teóricos referentes aos campos de estudo indicados e o que se verifica nas letras que fazem parte desse universo lingüístico, realçando-se a presença dos parceiros Bráulio Tavares e Wilson Freire e levando-se em conta aspectos relativos à importância da cultura popular brasileira na formação desse brincante nordestino que tem como referenciais preponderantes em seu trabalho o escritor Ariano Suassuna e o Movimento Armorial. As reflexões sobre o trabalho de Antonio Nóbrega são contribuições desta tese no sentido de mostrar como se pode analisar uma obra literário-musical utilizando elementos teóricos da língua portuguesa, estabelecendo diálogos entre mais de um campo de estudo. / This doctorate dissertation has as its aim to deal with the musical-poetic- linguistic universe in which Antonio Nóbrega, an artist from the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, expresses himself as singer, composer, actor, dancer, violinist, and rebec player, taking as its basis three fields of the Portuguese language: stylistics, semantics and dialectology. The study has as its starting point the repertoire of the five CDs recorded by him in the period from 1996 to 2002 (Na pancada do ganzá, Madeira que cupim não rói, Pernambuco falando para o mundo, O marco do meio-dia e Lunário perpétuo), records which result from the homonymous spectacles. Having as basis the corpus which was analyzed here, approximations will be accomplished among the theoretical presuppositions related to the fields of study mentioned before, and the one which is verified in the lyrics which are part of this linguistic universe, giving prominence to the presence of his partners Bráulio Tavares and Wilson Freire, and taking into consideration aspects concerning the importance of Brazilian popular culture in the formation of this northeastern artist who has the writer Ariano Suassuna and the cultural movement known as Movimento Armorial as prominent referentials in his work. The reflections on the work of Antonio Nóbrega are the contributions of this doctorate dissertation in the sense of showing how it is possible to analyze a musical-literary work by using theoretical elements of the Portuguese language, establishing dialogues among more than one field of study.

Com o objetivo de contribuir para a caracterização da variedade falada no noroeste paulista, bem como de auxiliar na compreensão da diversidade linguística encontrada no Brasil, descrevemos as características fonético-fonológicas da variedade falada em São José do Rio Preto, utilizando o referecial teórico-metodológico da Sociolingüística Laboviana e da Dialetologia. Analisaremos doze amostras de fala do banco de dados do Projeto Iboruna, selecionadas segundo os fatores sociais: sexo, faixa etária e grau de escolaridade. Descreveremos as vogais orais e nasais, as realizações dos fonemas /s/, /l/, /´/, /r/ e /d/ e /t/ antes de [i] e outros fenômenos linguísticos. Fizemos também referência a obras que tratam da descrição de outras variedades do português com o objetivo de observar se as realizações encontradas em São José do Rio Preto são conservadoras ou inovadoras, se são peculiaridades de lá, ou se também são encontradas em outras variedades. Concluímos que a variedade estudada apresenta características fonético-fonológicas que são comuns em outras comunidades lusófonas e que, se partirmos do português europeu para se estabelecer comparações com a variedade estudada, esta apresenta algumas características conservadoras. / Aiming to contribute to the characterization of the variety spoken in the northwestern region of São Paulo, as well as help understanding the linguistic diversity found in Brazil, the phonetic-phonological features of the variety spoken in São José do Rio Preto were described, using the theoretical and methodological references of the Labovian Sociolinguistics and the Dialectology. Twelve samples of speech from Project Iboruna database, selected according to the following social factors: gender, age and education level will be analyzed. The oral and nasal vowels, the pronunciation of the phonemes /s/, /l/, /´/, /r/ and /d/ and /t/ before [i], and other linguistic phenomena were analyzed. The literature on the description of other varieties of Portuguese language was referred in order to observe if the variants found in São José do Rio Preto are conservative or innovative, if they are peculiarities from there, or whether they are found in other varieties. The conclusion was that the analyzed variety presents phonetic-phonological features that are common in other lusophone communities, and if compared to the European Portuguese, it has some conservative features.

This work is part of that proposal and, therefore, presents the Linguistic Atlas of the dialects of the Upper Rio Negro microregion, belonging to the meso northern Amazonas, comprising the cities of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Santa Isabel do Rio Negro and Barcelos. To achieve this aim, the work was carried out considering the principles of multidimensional dialectology and multilingualcontext of the indigenous people of that Amazon area. In each country surveyed, except the town of Barcelos that, having been investigated by Cruz (2004), did not serve as a point of inquiry in this study, the phonetic-phonological Linguistic Atlas of the Amazon (ALAM) questionnaire was applied for six respondents with low education level, until 5th grade of elementary school, bilingual in the native language and Portuguese language, being a man and a woman between 18 and 35, 36 and 55, and 56 onwards. The corpus collected was manually transcribed and reviewed and then inserted in the database of the Mapping Linguistic Variation (MVL) computer program, developed for the ALAM for the elaboration of the phonetic letters. The results, among other characteristics, indicate the closed realization of the anterior and posterior medium vowels in prestressed context, even in environments conducive to raising; for the monophthongization of the diphthongs [ey] and [ow]; to perform the post-vowel -R in the middle of word as glottal fricative, which also presents itself in some situations such as a multiple vibrant, and the palatalization of -S in coda. With the dialects of Portuguese registered in the two cities investigated, we intend to contribute to the understanding of the linguistic reality in Amazonas, emphasizing the pronunciation features of the Upper Rio Negro, an area of multilingualism and, therefore, of intense complexity. / Registrar os falares de uma região é o objetivo de pesquisadas baseadas na geografia linguística. O presente trabalho insere-se nessa proposta e, por isso, apresenta o Atlas Linguístico dos falares da microrregião do Alto Rio Negro, pertencente à mesorregião Norte Amazonense, que compreende os municípios de São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Santa Isabel do Rio Negro e Barcelos. Para alcançar tal proposta, o trabalho foi realizado considerando os princípios da dialetologia pluridimensional e o contexto multilíngue dos povos indígenas dessa área amazônica. Em cada localidade pesquisada, com exceção da cidade de Barcelos que, por ter sido investigada por Cruz (2004), não serviu como ponto de inquérito nesse trabalho, foi aplicado o questionário fonético-fonológico do Atlas Linguístico do Amazonas (ALAM), para seis informantes, com baixo nível de escolaridade, até 5° ano do Ensino Fundamental, bilíngues em língua indígena e língua portuguesa, sendo um homem e uma mulher entre 18 e 35 anos, 36 e 55 anos e 56 em diante. O corpus coletado foi transcrito e revisado manualmente e, depois, inserido, para elaboração das cartas fonéticas, no banco de dados do programa computacional Mapeamento de Variação Linguística (MVL), desenvolvido para o ALAM. Os resultados, dentre outras características, apontam para a realização fechada das vogais médias anterior e posterior em contexto pretônico, mesmo em ambientes propícios ao alçamento; para a monotongação dos ditongos [ey] e [ow]; para a realização do R pós-vocálico, no meio de vocábulo, como fricativa glotal, apresentando-se também em algumas situações como vibrante múltipla e para a palatalização do S em coda silábica. Pretende-se, com os falares do português registrados nas duas cidades investigadas, contribuir para ampliar o conhecimento da realidade linguística do Amazonas, destacando características de pronúncia do Alto Rio Negro, espaço de multilinguismo e, por isso, de intensa complexidade.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Cearà / O Atlas LinguÃstico LÃxico-semÃntico de Iguatu documenta a linguagem regional falada nessa localidade, com o objetivo de analisar as variaÃÃes lexicais na linguagem, tanto na zona rural quanto na zona urbana de Iguatu, elaborar cartas lÃxicas equivalentes aos campos semÃnticos trabalhados para constituir o Atlas e oferecer subsÃdios importantes para a pesquisa GeolinguÃstica no Brasil e para os estudos da LÃngua Portuguesa falada. Este trabalho fundamentou-se nos pressupostos da Dialetologia moderna, atravÃs de autores como AragÃo, Coseriu e Ferreira e Cardoso e da GeolinguÃstica pluridimensional, atravÃs de Cardoso, Mota e Radtke & Thun. A pesquisa possui uma malha de 06 pontos de inquÃritos, divididos em 04 pontos na zona urbana e 02 na zona rural. Em cada ponto, foram entrevistados 04 informantes, 02 do sexo masculino e 02 do sexo feminino, pertencentes a duas faixas etÃrias distintas, a primeira entre 18 e 30 anos, e a segunda entre 45 e 60 anos. AlÃm de pertencerem à escolaridade entre sem nenhuma instruÃÃo e 9 ano do Ensino fundamental. A escolha dos pontos e a caracterizaÃÃo dos informantes baseiam-se nas orientaÃÃes do Projeto ALiB (Atlas LinguÃstico do Brasil), bem como o QuestionÃrio SemÃntico Lexical (QSL) para a obtenÃÃo dos itens lexicais, a ficha da localidade e do informante. O arquivamento e transcriÃÃo do corpus seguiu as mesmas orientaÃÃes do ALiB, as gravaÃÃes foram feitas em lugares apropriados para os informantes. O atlas compÃe-se de 53 cartas divididas em cartas geogrÃficas e semÃntico-lexicais em que se apresenta a variaÃÃo lexical de itens sugeridos no QSL do Projeto ALiB e sua frequÃncia de realizaÃÃo entre os informantes. / The lexical-semantical linguistic Atlas of Iguatu registers the local speech of the place, allowing to analyse lexical variation in language, in both the rural and the urban areas, ellaborate lexical charts equivalent to the semantic fields used to build the Atlas and offer important data to Geolinguistic research in Brazil and to the studies on Spoken Portuguese. This work is based in claims of modern Dialectology, such as exposed in authors as AragÃo, Coseriu and Ferreira and Cardoso, and of pluridimensional Geolingusitics, as mentioned by Cardoso, Mota and Radtke and Thun. This research involves 06 places in which inquiery takes place, 04 of which in the urban area, the other 02 in the rural area. In each place 04 informers were interviewed, 02 men and 02 women, belonging to 02 distinct age groups, from 18 to 30 years old and from 45 to 60 years old. The years the informers spent at school varies from none to 09 years (Fundamental School). Places and informers were chosen according to orientation from the AliB Project (Linguistic Atlas of Brazil), as well as the Lexical-Semantical Questionnaire (LSQ), through which lexical items were to be obtained, and both the placesâ and the informersâdescription. The archiving and the transcription of the corpus were also made according to AliB orientation, and registrations were made on appropriate places to informers. The Atlas of Iguatu has 53 lingusitic charts, divided in geographic charts and lexical-semantical ones. In them figures lexical variation of items suggested by the LSQ of the AliB Project and the frequency with which they occur among informers.

La présente thèse a deux objectifs principaux. Le premier objectif est de proposer une description de la phonologie et de la morphologie de base pour l’ensemble des parlers B20 connus à ce jour (16 au total). Le deuxième objectif est de mettre au jour de nouveaux critères, non lexicaux, en vue de l’amélioration et de la consolidation de la classification interne de ce groupe resté largement inconnu pendant longtemps.Les parlers B20 sont tous relativement proches les uns des autres, de tous les points de vue. Par conséquent, trouver des critères non lexicaux pour faire avancer les connaissances dialectologiques n’est pas chose aisée. Seule une description fine peut permettre de le faire. Je me suis focalisée sur la phonologie des parlers, sans ignorer pour autant ce que j’avais pu collecter comme données sur la morphologie nominale (classes nominales et PN) et verbale. La première grande partie de la thèse présente l’essentiel des résultats de cette étude fastidieuse. Ces résultats ont à leur tour alimentés l’étude présentée dans la seconde grande partie, consacrée elle à la dialectologie et plus précisément à la recherche de nouveaux critères pouvant être utiles pour la classification interne. L’étude des critères potentiellement utiles pour la dialectologie a révélé que les critères morphologiques retenus tendent à mieux confirmer les propositions de classification interne existantes (et établis sur la base de données lexicales) que les différents critères phonologiques. Si les premiers ont globalement tendance à corroborer les deux, voire trois sous-groupes proposés notamment par Grollemund (2012) et confirmer, indirectement, le caractère flottant du B20 (Bastin & Piron, 1999), les derniers révèlent une disparité bien plus grande au sein du groupe kota-kele. Cette thèse présente d’autres atouts. Elle constitue une contribution importante au travail de documentation des langues bantu menacées de disparition. En plus des nombreuses informations d’ordre linguistique, culturel et historique, la thèse apporte aussi sa pierre à l’édifice quant à l’élaboration d’un atlas linguistique du Gabon et à la classification des langues de ce pays. / This doctoral dissertation has two main objectives. The first objective is to provide a description of the phonology and morphology base for all B20 dialects known to date (16 in total). The second objective is to uncover new criteria, nonlexical, for the improvement and consolidation of the internal classification of this group which has remained largely unknown for long.B20 dialects are all relatively close to each other, from all points of view. Therefore, finding nonlexical criteria to improve our understanding of the dialectological structure of this group is not an easy task. Only thorough linguistic description can change this. I focused on the phonology of the dialects, but did not ignore data about noun morphology (nominal classes and noun prefixes) and very basic verb morphology. The first major part of the thesis presents the results of this fastidious study. These results in turn are the basis for the study presented in the second major part which is comparative in nature and dedicated to dialectology and the search for potentially useful new criteria for the improvement of the internal classification of the group.The careful study of potentially useful criteria for dialectology revealed that the selected morphological criteria tend to better confirm existing internal classification proposals (mainly based on lexical data) than the various phonological criteria. If the former generally tend to corroborate the two or three subgroups proposed earlier (particularly by Grollemund (2012)) and confirm, indirectly, the floating nature of the B20 (Bastin and Piron, 1999), the latter clearly reveal a much larger disparity within the Kota-Kele group.This doctoral dissertation also has other assets. It is an important contribution to the ongoing documentation of Bantu languages, many of them being currently threatened with extinction. In addition to extensive linguistic, cultural and historical information, the thesis also wants to make a significant contribution to the development of a linguistic atlas of Gabon and to the classification of the Gabonese languages.

In this dissertation, I investigate a number of interrelated developments affecting the morphosyntax of nouns in Cappadocian Greek. I specifically focus on the development of differential object marking, the loss of grammatical gender distinctions, and the neuterisation of noun inflection. My aim is to provide a diachronic account of the innovations that Cappadocian has undergone in the three domains mentioned above. !ll the innovations examined in this study have the effect of rendering the morphology and syntax of nouns in Cappadocian more like that of neuters. On account of the historical and sociolinguistic circumstances in which Cappadocian developed as well as of the superficial similarity of their outcomes to equivalent structures in Turkish, previous research has overwhelmingly treated the Cappadocian developments as instances of contact-induced change that resulted from the influence of Turkish. In this study, I examine the Cappadocian innovations from a language-internal point of view and in comparison with parallel developments attested in the other Modern Greek dialects of Asia Minor, namely Pontic, Rumeic, Pharasiot and Silliot. My comparative analysis of a wide range of dialect-internal, cross-dialectal and cross-linguistic typological evidence shows that language contact with Turkish can be identified as the main cause of change only in the case of differential object marking. On the other hand, with respect to the origins of the most pervasive innovations in gender and noun inflection, I argue that they go back to the common linguistic ancestor of the modern Asia Minor Greek dialects and do not owe their development to language contact with Turkish. I show in detail that the superficial similarity of these latter innovations’ outcomes to their Turkish equivalents in each case represents the final stage in a long series of typologically plausible, language-internal developments whose early manifestations predate the intensification of Cappadocian–Turkish linguistic and cultural exchange. These findings show that diachronic change in Cappadocian is best understood when examined within a larger Asia Minor Greek context. On the whole, they make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the history of Cappadocian and the Asia Minor Greek dialects as well as to Modern Greek dialectology more generally, and open a fresh round of discussion on the origin and development of other innovations attested in these dialects that are considered by historical linguists and Modern Greek dialectologists to be untypically Greek or contact-induced or both.

Thesis (M.A. (African Languages))-- University of Limpopo, 2014 / The study was intended to investigate the influence and the impact which Sepulana as a dialect has on the learning of Sepedi as the standard language. The findings included among others: Sepulana has a negative impact on the learning of Sepedi as a standard language in Sabie circuit, Bohlabela district of Mpumalanga Province. Secondly, most Sepedi educators who speak Sepulana use the dialect to offer Sepedi in the formal classroom situation, and as such, learners become confused on whether to use Sepedi or Sepulana words. The study recommends that teachers of Sepedi be encouraged to teach Sepedi and not Sepulana in class, and also that teachers should upgrade their Sepedi qualifications to enable them to have in-depth knowledge of the language.

Der von Gerd Hentschel herausgegebene Band umreißt allgemeine und grundsätzliche Problemfelder sprachlicher Formen, deren wesentliches Merkmal die Mischung unterschiedlicher Codes ist. Drei Autoren stellen jeweils ein Beispiel in polnischer, ukrainischer und deutscher Sprache vor, an dem sie veranschaulichen, dass bestimmte Forschungsansätze hinsichtlich der gemischten Rede im Kontext der Slavia ausbaufähig sind. Erkennbare Stabilisierungstendenzen spielen für sie eine entscheidende Rolle im Hinblick auf neue theoretische Ansätze.

The present thesis deals with the construction and testing of a web-based tool for analysis of Early Middle English texts, created from the data available in the Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English (LAEME). The introductory theoretical overview of research into Middle English texts focuses on dialectology and the relation between spoken & written language and it serves as a springboard for the development of the tool. The thesis further presents a detailed explanation of the methodology behind the tool. It describes the structure of the database containing the transformed data from LAEME and then it moves on to the semi-automatic data processing and types of output data. This processing consists mainly in the segmentation of LAEME spelling variants into smaller units and in determining which segments in a group of variants correspond to one another. The thesis also describes the individual functions available within the tool and tests their use on short sample analyses. Although more extensive testing and modifications of the tool are required, it has so far revealed no crucial errors and the tool can be described as useable. The project succeeded in opening new possibilities of faster access to LAEME data. Furthermore, the tool is prepared for future upgrades, including the addition of data...

Cette thèse est une modélisation diasystémique de la flexion verbale de cinq langues sames (famille finno-ougrienne), qui s'inscrit dans le cadre théorique des systèmes complexes. Elle se pose à l'intersection entre la complexité flexionnelle, avec pour but de démêler et modéliser les phénomènes intriqués d'allomorphie paradigmatique, et la complexité dialectale, en comparant cinq systèmes flexionnels de langues formant un réseau dialectal pour déterminer les mécanismes de différentiation et les flux interactifs qui entrent en jeu au sein du diasystème. L'analyse morphologique fait usage du modèle Paradigm Function Morphology, une approche réalisationnelle de la complexité paradigmatique développée par G. Stump, qui permet de modéliser le grand nombre d'alternances thématiques qui font la réputation d'extrême complexité de la flexion same. L'analyse des paradigmes débouche sur une taxinomie des verbes sames, sous la forme de classes flexionnelles, dans chacune des langues étudiées (sames du Sud, de Lule, du Nord, d'Inari et same Skolt), et sur un inventaire détaillé des mécanismes de flexion. À partir de ces modélisations comparables, je développe ensuite une analyse diasystémique de la morphologie verbale same en en interprétant les processus d'intrication, d'auto-organisation et d'émergence au sein du système. La configuration qui en ressort, renforcée par une étude dialectométrique, est celle d'un système dialectal à deux pôles décisionnels majeurs, ouest et est, et au centre une zone de transition et de compromis où se produisent des phénomènes de complexification phonologique et morphologique. / This thesis analyzes the verbal inflection of five Saami languages (Finno-Ugric family) in a diasystemic modelization, working within the framework of Complex Systems Theory. It deals with both inflectional complexity, aiming to untangle and model the intricacy of paradigmatic allomorphy in Saami, and dialectal complexity, by comparing the inflectional systems of five languages organized in a dialect continuum, in order to highlight the mechanisms of differentiation and interactive flows within the diasystem.The morphological analysis uses Paradigm Function Morphology, a realizational approach to paradigmatic complexity developed by G. Stump. This framework gives me the tools needed to model the great number of stem alternations that makes Saami inflection renowned for its extreme complexity. From the paradigm analysis, I work to build a taxonomy of Saami verbs, in the form of inflectional classes, in each of the studied languages (South, Lule, North, Inari and Skolt Saami), and a detailed inventory of inflection mechanisms. Based on these comparable models, I then develop a diasystemic analysis of Saami verbal morphology by modeling the processes of intrication, self-organization and emergence happening in the system. The resulting configuration, reinforced by a dialectometric study, is that of a system with two major decision centers, western and eastern, and in the center a transitional zone of compromise where phonological and morphological complexification phenomena arise.
