A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa-interpretativista, elegeu como focos privilegiados de investigação as representações dos participantes acerca do bilingüismo familiar, de suas próprias identidades linguístico-culturais e das de seus cônjuges. O suporte teórico do trabalho adveio, principalmente, de autores do campo da Lingüística Aplicada em interface com as áreas da Linguística, Sociolinguística, Políticas Lingüísticas e Estudos Culturais. O corpus analisado foi composto por registros gerados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturados nas quais se buscou delinear as histórias de vida dos sujeitos da pesquisa. Foram entrevistados 07 progenitores bilíngues residentes no Brasil (03 brasileiros e 04 estrangeiros) que, à época da geração dos registros, eram ou haviam sido casados com falantes de outras línguas que não as suas próprias línguas maternas. A análise dos dados revelou que, dentre outros, fatores como a) as atitudes (dos próprios cônjuges, de seus filhos, de parentes, de amigos, etc.) em relação às línguas e culturas em jogo na família; b) o grau de prestígio das línguas envolvidas; c) o grau de experiência prévia dos pais com ambientes plurilingues e multiculturais; d) o contexto sócio-histórico em que ocorreu a imigração e e) as relações de poder entre os cônjuges contribuíram para a transmissão, ou não, da LMCI aos filhos nas famílias em questão. É preciso ressaltar, no entanto, que nenhum dos fatores pode ser, isoladamente, considerado determinante das políticas linguísticas adotadas nessas famílias, uma vez que tais políticas só podem ser explicadas pela inter-relação entre diferentes fatores. A expectativa é que os resultados dessa pesquisa possam servir de subsídio para se pensar políticas familiares de incentivo à transmissão da língua de progenitores imigrantes, minoritária na família, a seus descendentes / Abstract: The study described in this dissertation has investigated the representations, here understood as discursive constructions, of bilingual parents of intercultural marriages to describe and understand the ways in which these couples' representations shape their disposition to transmit their Immigrant Spouse's Mother Tongue (ISMT) within the family setting. It is a qualitative study which conducts an interpretative analysis of the participants' representation of family bilingualism, their own cultural and linguistic identities and that of their spouse's. The theory which supports this study was generated mainly in the field of Applied Linguistics, in an interface with Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Language Policies and Cultural Studies. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews aiming to delineate the participants' profile utilizing a life story approach. The participants in this study were 7 bilingual parents (4 immigrants and 3 Brazilian citizens) living in Brazil at the time of the interviews, who were or had been married to speakers of a mother tongue other than their own. The study aimed to identify among other factors a) the (spouses' themselves, their children's, relatives', friends', etc.) representations of the languages and cultures at play within the family; b) the status of the languages within the family; c) the spouses' multilingual and multicultural background; d) the social-historical context at the time of immigration and e) the relationships of power between the couple as influential in the (non)transmission of the Immigrant Spouse's Mother Tongue to their children within the family setting. It must be highlighted, however, that none of these factors alone can be regarded as conclusive to the language policy adopted within the family as such policies can only be explained when considered the interrelation among those factors. The study intends to offer subsidies on family language policies that promote the transmission of the immigrant parents' language, i.e., the minority language within the family, to their children / Mestrado / Multiculturalismo, Plurilinguismo e Educação Bilingue / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

The main objective is to analyze the formation of commercial names, observing the neologisms of all kinds, including foreignisms and loans from the linguistic point of view linked to the cultural aspect. In view of the importance of the name of an establishment in the commercial context. The hypotheses presented in this study claims that the process of creation/formation of commercial names, as well as the cultural relevance and identities of these names for the inhabitants of the city, through the understanding that the name is an instrument of the definition of identity and is often through neologisms, loans and foreignisms. Furthermore, in the commercial context, naming a product or space with words of a language that is thought to be known by many people, and that conveys the idea of prestige is a way of speaking and negotiating efficiently, providing investments in creative advertising, especially in other languages that convey the idea of a globalized world. For this analysis, first, the names of ten clothing stores and nine salons were collected in Palmas, the capital of the State of Tocantins and in Catalão, a city in rural Goiás, with the intention of comparing the formations of the names and explaining them, after the interviews with the owners of the businesses , which was another important step in the collection information for analysis of training and possible motivations for the use of these names by the busniness owners, as well as demonstrating the type of morphosyntactic structure of these names and their spelling. The studies are based on authors who discuss the changes observed in the Portuguese language lexicon such as Alves (1990), Bechara (1996), Carvalho (2009), Correia and Barcellos Almeida (2012), Bizzocchi (2013), and by those who deal with identity Bauman (2005) and Hall (2005), as well as Cabral and Viegas (2007) with their essays on the importance of name. In conclusion, the choices show the concern with the formation of a commercial name in order to attract the attention of the public and, in the search to differentiate their business, use names with stylized writing, in an attempt to bring some unusual element to the writing. There is also the use of resources that break the rules of official spelling, often imitating the writing of the English language when naming their establishments, whether influenced by products or services they offer, and in making such choices are revealing aspects that motivate the contemporary subject, that is, the need to respond to a global connection that shows, at the same time, something different to the people, the easiness of hybridity in relation to the new and the different. / A temática discutida neste estudo vincula-se diretamente à questão da identidade da língua portuguesa e consequentemente à identificação cultural, pois leva em consideração características extralinguísticas que motivam o uso de nomes comerciais considerados criativos e estilizados. O objetivo principal é de analisar a formação de nomes comerciais, observando os neologismos de todo tipo, incluindo estrangeirismos e os empréstimos sob o ponto de vista linguístico ligado ao aspecto cultural. Tendo em conta a importância do nome de um estabelecimento no contexto comercial, lança-se nesse estudo com as hipóteses de que entender como se dá o processo de criação/formação dos nomes comerciais, bem como a relevância cultural e de identidade desses nomes para os moradores da cidade passa pela compreensão de que o nome é um instrumento de definição da identidade e se processa, muitas vezes, por meio de neologismos, empréstimos e estrangeirismos. Outrossim, no contexto comercial, nomear um produto ou espaço com palavras de uma língua que se acredita que muitas pessoas conheçam, e que transmita a ideia de prestígio é uma forma de falar e negociar de modo eficiente, propiciando investimentos em publicidade criativa, principalmente noutros idiomas que transmitem a ideia de mundo globalizado. Para essa análise, primeiramente, coletou-se nomes de dez lojas de roupas e nove salões de beleza em Palmas, capital do Estado do Tocantins e em Catalão, cidade do interior de Goiás, com a intenção de comparar as formações dos nomes e explicar, após as entrevistas com os donos de estabelecimentos comerciais, que foi outra importante etapa de coleta para análise, a formação e as possíveis motivações de uso desses nomes por parte dos comerciantes, além de demonstrar o tipo de estrutura morfossintática desses nomes e sua ortografia. Os estudos estão embasados em autores que discutem as mudanças constatadas no léxico da língua portuguesa como Alves (1990), Bechara (1996), Carvalho (2009), Correia e Barcellos Almeida (2012), Bizzocchi (2013), e por aqueles que tratam de identidade como Bauman (2005) e Hall (2005), além de Cabral e Viegas (2007) com seus ensaios sobre a importância do nome. Conclui-se que as escolhas evidenciam a preocupação com a formação de um nome comercial visando atrair a atenção do público e, na busca de diferenciar seu negócio, recorrem a nomes com escrita estilizada, na tentativa de trazer algum elemento incomum para a escrita. Há, também o uso de recursos que quebram a normalidade da ortografia oficial, muitas vezes imitando a escrita da língua inglesa na nomeação de seus estabelecimentos, quer sejam produtos ou serviços que oferecem, e, ao fazer tais escolhas estão revelando aspectos que motivam o sujeito contemporâneo, ou seja, a necessidade de responder a uma conexão mundial que evidencia, ao mesmo tempo, algo bastante peculiar ao nosso povo, a facilidade de hibridez frente ao novo e ao diferente.

In order to do so, we chose to carry out a research based on the theoretical and methodological presuppositions of sociolinguistics, of an ethnographical nature. The corpus of the research comprises six advertisements, interviews with German descendants and texts composed by 5th-grade students. Regarding the advertisements, we chose four from the car manufacturer Volkswagen (Golf G4, É Nóis, Rigorosos e Contrário), and two from Casa Leonhardt, one in the city of Marechal Cândido Rondon and the other in the city of Palotina. After a previous analysis of the advertisements, which revealed sociolinguistic traces of the German language, they were presented to the informer, so that they could show their reception and evaluation of the advertisements. The informers were selected in the city of Marechal Cândido Rondon, in which descendants of German immigrants settled, and in the district of Santa Rita D Oeste Terra Roxa, which, besides presenting a considerable number of German speakers, is where the Casa Leonardt head office is located. In the interviews, beside the advertisements, questions regarding identity, beliefs and attitudes, and preservation of the German language and culture, were discussed, as well as the public policies needed for this preservation and, eventually, the teaching of Portuguese and German. The last subject of the corpus was related to the analysis of texts composed by students, in which they reveal the linguistic transferences from German to Portuguese. This analysis had in mind a teaching proposal in this context of language contact. Among other results, obtained through interviews, we found out that most informants approve the use of the German language in commercial advertisements. They also acknowledge that this kind of language attracts the attention of the public more efficiently than the traditional monolingual advertisements, thus acting as a means to persuade the potential buyer. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo verificar como a publicidade faz uso de aspectos socioculturais da língua alemã, utilizando-os como mecanismo de persuasão e/ou identificação entre o anunciante e o possível comprador em relação ao produto anunciado. Para tanto, optou-se por realizar uma pesquisa baseada nos pressupostos teóricometodológicos da sociolinguística, de cunho etnográfico. O corpus da pesquisa é composto por seis propagandas, entrevistas com descendentes de alemães, além de textos de alunos da 5ª Série do Ensino Fundamental. Em relação às propagandas, foram selecionadas quatro da empresa automobilística Volkswagen (Golf G4, É Nóis, Rigorosos e Contrário), além de duas da empresa Casa Leonhardt, sendo uma veiculada no município de Marechal Cândido Rondon e outra em Palotina. Desse modo, após uma primeira análise das propagandas, verificando a utilização de traços sociolinguísticos da língua alemã, estas foram apresentadas aos informantes, para verificar como estes recebem e avaliam essas propagandas. Os informantes foram selecionados na cidade de Marechal Cândido Rondon, colonizada por descendentes de imigrantes alemães, e no distrito de Santa Rita D´Oeste Terra Roxa, que além de apresentar um número considerável de falantes alemães, é onde fica a matriz da Casa Leonhardt. Nas entrevistas, além do tema das propagandas, foram discutidas questões referentes à identidade, às crenças e atitudes, à preservação da língua e da cultura alemãs bem como as políticas públicas necessárias a essa preservação e, por fim, o ensino do português e do alemão. Ao último tema do corpus foram relacionadas a análise de textos produzidos por alunos, os quais revelam transferências do alemão para o português, objetivando uma proposta de ensino neste contexto de línguas em contato. Entre outros resultados, obtidos a partir das entrevistas, constatou-se que a maioria dos informantes aprova a utilização da língua alemã em propagandas comerciais, bem como reconhecem que este tipo de linguagem prende a atenção do público de modo mais eficaz que o modelo tradicional monolíngue de propaganda, servindo, portanto, como mecanismo de persuasão para a vendagem dos produtos anunciados.

This essay deals with the use of linguistic stereotypes in three different movies with British accents, namely Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, with a main focus on phonology. It investigates whether attitudes towards British accents found in studies about ideological beliefs about accent variation are reflected in the selected movies and discusses the notion of linguistic identity. The essay analyses how studies of perceived prestige and attractiveness of accents correlates to the character types males, females, main heroes, villains, comic relief and mentors in the selected movies. The essay finds a correlation between Received Pronunciation and every character type. It also finds that accents rated high on the discussed lists most often correlate to the character types mentor, villain and hero, while accents lower down on the list correlates with the character types comic relief and villains. The use of accents in these movies is probably intentional and not coincidental.

A focal concern amid Canadian French immersion students upon completion of their secondary school studies is a shared belief and feeling that they are limited in their ability to communicate with francophone communities (Howard, 2007; Schaffer, 2013; The Globe and Mail, Friesen, 2013). Furthermore, it has been widely discussed that French immersion students are finding themselves in the midst of language identity crisis, unable to find a place among either of the dominant monolingual groups (Roy, 2010). This case study examined the potential persistence of language identity crisis in three French immersion students who extended their French as a second language education by pursuing post-secondary education in a French immersion program at a large bilingual university. The study reveals the linguistic identity construction of these students by clarifying how each participant positioned (Davies & Harré, 1990) herself towards Francophone language and culture. It exposes the factors which influenced the linguistic positioning of the participants and comments on patterns in the factors which affected their linguistic identity in particular.

In recent years, some of the research within the field of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) seems to have gone through a re-orientation, shifting focus from form to practice. This has highlighted the dynamic nature of languages and identities performed in interaction, leading to the conceptualization of ‘English as a multi-lingua franca’, which refers to placing emphasis on multilingualism in ELF interactions. While much of ELF research has favored in-person spoken interaction, the increasing presence of electronically mediated intercultural communication (EMIC) in society encourages a consideration of online communication as a setting for ELF usage. Online interactions veer between written and spoken communication, thus providing many ways for speakers to express their linguistic identities and show ownership of the language produced. As such, in this paper a temporary multilingual social configuration was observed with regards to participants’ linguistic behavior. Six participants were asked to engage in discussion throughout one week in an online group chat, with the aim of acquiring further insight into how linguistic identity is performed in relation to language ownership and linguistic innovation by ELF speakers within the context of an online environment. The EMIC data was supported by individual interviews that took place prior to the group discussion, and follow-up interviews after the chat had ended. Through a qualitative thematic analysis, the research questions were discussed in relation to the three main focal issues of the study, i.e., linguistic identity, language ownership and linguistic innovation. The findings are in line with recent research that indicate that ELF is a multilingual practice that is shaped by its speakers, as well as the specific context of the interaction.

Magister Artium - MA / This project explores the negotiation of shifting racial identities within a transforming post-Apartheid context, in particular, the negotiation of what it means to be ‘coloured’. Twenty-seven years into South Africa’s democracy, the power and influence that race and language hold over many South Africans’ are still prominent within this country. Because race is historically intersected with language and social class, language is used as an instrument of racialization. Therefore, this project seeks to understand how coloured racial and linguistic identities, which are steeped in complexity and ambiguity, are navigated by participants. It will focus, in particular, on how participants engage with Afrikaans and Kaaps to navigate these complexities and signal alignments and ambivalences. Additionally, this research aims to explore the potential of multilingualism to be a dynamic factor in the inclusive transformation of historical positions. Its central aim is to contribute to the notion of Linguistic Citizenship (Stroud, 2001, 2015, 2018, 2021) by capturing how linguistic encounters and interactions can go beyond the defined subjectivities of race and ethnicity, and how people use language to challenge and subvert historical and more contemporary identities. The data draws on focus group discussions with UWC students and the narratives produced within these spaces. It will draw on contemporary scholarship in Sociolinguistics, Discourse and Narrative Analysis and Linguistic Citizenship to explore how participants perform acts of Linguistic Citizenship to showcase their agency and voice as language and narratives become a site where identity juxtapositions are laid bare, and participants and their (racial and linguistic) identities are reimagined.

The linguistic landscape of Canadian workplaces is becoming more diverse as organizations employ individuals who come from various countries and speak different native languages. As language is an important marker of identity and group membership, language-based identities are powerful in shaping workplace experiences. Guided by both the ethnolinguistic identity theory (ELIT: Giles et al., 1977; Giles & Johnson, 1987) and communication accommodation theory (CAT: e.g., Dragojevic et al., 2016; Gallois et al., 2005; Giles & Ogay, 2006), this study explores the experiences of Spanish-speaking Latin Americans working in the Canadian National Capital Region in relation to their linguistic identities, coping strategies, and intergroup interactions. A thematic analysis of 24 semi-structured interviews shows that participants experience a dynamic shift in their identity in which they move between feelings of self-doubt and a sense of confidence and comfort in their workplaces. This shift occurs as they navigate the cognitive and emotional experiences of working in a nonnative language. Factors that influence this identity shift include social comparisons, positive implications associated with their native linguistic identity, negative evaluations, and empathy in the workplace. This study also provides a detailed description of the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and interactional coping strategies that participants enact to navigate their workplaces. In terms of intergroup interactions, the participant’s experiences, their evaluations, and reactions to accommodative or nonaccommodative behaviours from native speaking peers in their workplaces are explored. The final pages of this study include some recommendations for human resource practitioners.

Outre la catégorisation socio-identitaire de l’enseignant de FLE – résumée dans la notion d’identité linguistique – qui représente depuis toujours une problématique très répandue dans le domaine de l’appropriation des langues, la notion de représentation sociale commence aujourd’hui à constituer un enjeu théorique majeur en ce domaine. Ce travail de recherche présente une étude expérimentale portant sur les représentations sociales de l’identité linguistique de l’enseignant et ses conséquences sur les comportements interactionnels des élèves dans une classe de FLE située au royaume du Bahreïn. Il a pour objet deux axes d’étude : a) les comportements interactionnels des apprenantes, que nous recueillerons par le biais d’observations de classes et que nous étudierons en adoptant une analyse conversationnelle fondée sur l’interprétation des phénomènes langagiers ; b) une réflexion sur la notion de représentations sociales orientée vers son rôle déterminant dans les pratiques langagières, étayée par une analyse de contenu thématique des discours épilinguistiques recueillis à l’aide d’un entretien semi-directif afin de déterminer si la perception de la différence d’identité linguistique est à l’origine de la dynamique des comportements interactionnels. L’objectif de ce travail est également de proposer une approche empirique ne reposant pas seulement sur l’analyse des discours sur les représentations sociales mais qui prend aussi en compte les pratiques langagières et confronte ainsi le dire et le faire / As well as the identity categorization – that we refer to by the concept of linguistic identity – of French foreign language teachers has always represented a problematic issue in the field of language appropriation, the notion of social representation is currently becoming a major theoretical challenge in this field. This research presents an experimental study that focuses on social representation regarding the linguistic identity of the teacher and its effect(s) on learners’ interactional behavior in a French foreign language class located in Bahrain. The purpose of this research is first to study the interactional behavior of learners via classroom observation and by adopting conversational analysis methods, and secondly to study the role of social representations in language practice of French foreign language learners. For this purpose, we have carried out a thematic content analysis of epilinguistic discourses that have been collected via a semi-structured interview to determine if linguistic identity differences led to interactional behavior changes. This thesis aims at proposing an empirical approach that does not rely only on the analysis of epilinguistic discourse but also takes into account language practice and thus compares what’s said and what’s done

It is claimed that idiomaticity is inscribed in the transformation of the archaic-Provençal Portuguese that, transported to the Brazilian lands with the colonists who moved bringing it, was cultivated as it was in the soil of the new colony. In this process of cultivation, resulting the cultural adaptation of the white, the native and the negro people, that vocabulary would have been renovated to be accustomed to the context of another territory; in such a manner it would incorporate new semias and, thus, supply the lack of an authentic Portuguese archaic-Provençal vocabulary. However, those new semias are still unsatisfactory, and it would be necessary to incorporate to its lexical field words of native and African origins, because of the new geography, fauna and flora. From this sememic changing process and incorporations new/other lexicalizations will appear, contrasting with the Brazilian Portuguese itself, through the edification of new architectures, which sup port is the same linguistic system: the one that qualifies the processes of codification of the world knowledge, formalized by the Portuguese language. The distinction between structure and architecture granted the differentiation between language from idiom a starting point adopted to examine the idiomatization of the archaic-Provençal Portuguese, being its parameter the processes of lexicalization and to consider both Brazilian Portuguese and Portugal s, as well as the one of the other nations as idioms produced by differentiated cultural languages which lived together - and still live in different geographical spaces and that, nowadays, typify distinct territories that became National States. Those different languages which had made those territories bilingual let themselves to be inscribed in the vocabulary system of those idioms, in order to grant them with visions of world that, although distinct, present similarities in terms of form which frame the field of their respective vocabularies. Guided by a general objective to try to explain the permanencies by dislocation models concerned to the structure and organization of this idiomatization process the investigative way is traced by two focuses. One that configures historiographical characteristic of the constitution of the idiom in the land of the parrots ; other that concerns to the images of the linguistic studies that favour the lexicon as instancy capable of pointing out similarity through the differences among models of organization and representation of world knowledge formalized by a unique linguistic system. From the results obtained, by means of analytical procedures oriented by the study of the discursive -semantic fields, the result is an archaic Provençal Portuguese which was implanted in Brazil which becomes an idiom and the official language of a transmuted colony in National State at the XIX century. Such idiomatization presents differences not significant in the grammatical area and not allowing to considerate the existence of different languages. In the lexical area, this process of idiomatization , which implies the construction of differentiated points of view through which knowledge of world are organized, framed and formalized by language categories, may qualify Brazilian idiom differently from that of Portugal / Esta Dissertação, situada na linha de pesquisa História e Descrição da Língua Portuguesa, compreende uma investigação exploratória, cujo objeto de estudo está circunscrito ao vocabulário do idioma português brasileiro, no século XVI. Postula-se que a idiomaticidade se inscreve na transformação do léxico do português arcaicoprovençal que, transportado para as Terras do Brasil, com o colono que com ele se deslocou, foi cultivado tal qual o solo da nova colônia. Nesse processo de cultivo, de que resultou a aculturação do branco, do índio e do negro, esse vocabulário se renova para se adaptar ao contexto de um outro território, de sorte a incorporar novas semias e, assim suprir a falta do próprio vocabulário do português arcaico provençal. Contudo, essas novas semias são ainda insuficientes, fazendo-se necessário incorporar, ao seu campo lexical, palavras de origem indígena e africana, devido a nova geografia, fauna e flora. Desse processo de mudanças semêmicas e de incorporações tem-se novas/outras lexicalizações que vão diferenciando o idioma brasileiro do português propriamente dito, pela edificação de novas arquiteturas, cujo suporte é o mesmo sistema lingüístico: aquele que qualifica os processos de codificação de conhecimentos de mundo, formalizados pela língua portuguesa. A distinção entre estrutura e arquitetura facultou diferenciar língua de idioma ponto de partida adotado para examinar a idiomatização do português provençal arcaico, tendo como parâmetro os processos de lexicalização e considerar tanto o português do Brasil, quanto o de Portugal, bem como o de outras nações como idiomas produto de línguas de culturas diferenciadas que conviveram e convivem em espaços geográficos diferentes e que, hoje, tipificam territórios distintos que se tornaram Estados Nacionais. Essas diferentes línguas que fizeram desses espaços territórios bilíngües deixaram-se inscrever no sistema vocabular desses idiomas, de sorte a assegurar a eles visões de mundo que, embora distintas, se apresentam similares quanto à forma que estrutura o campo de seus respectivos vocabulários. Norteado por um objetivo geral buscar explicitar as permanências pelos modelos de deslocamento referente à estruturação e organização desse processo de idiomatização o percurso investigativo está traçado por duas focalizações. Uma que configura o caráter historiográfico da constituição do idioma na terra dos papagaios; outra referente aos quadros dos estudos lingüísticos que privilegiam o léxico como instância capaz de apontar semelhanças nas diferenças entre modelos de organização e representação de conhecimentos de mundo formalizados por um mesmo sistema lingüístico. Dos resultados obtidos, por meio de procedimentos analíticos orientados pelo estudo de campos semântico-discursivos, tem-se que o português arcaico provençal, implantando em território brasileiro, idiomatiza-se e se torna a língua oficial de uma colônia transmudada em Estado Nacional, no século XIX. Tal idiomatização apresenta diferenças pouco significativas no âmbito gramatical o que não permite considerar a existência de línguas diferentes. Já no âmbito lexical, esse processo de idiomatização, implicando a construção de pontos de vista diferenciados pelos quais os conhecimentos de mundo são organizados, estruturados e formalizados por categorias de línguas, pode qualificar o idioma brasileiro na sua diferença com aquele de Portugal
