Tomando por base essa perspectiva teórico-prática, o objetivo deste trabalho é discutir a relevância de um saber sobre a linguagem e sobre o cérebro em avaliações e práticas clínicas com a linguagem. Por meio da apresentação e análise de dados de crianças, pretende-se ilustrar de que modo o olhar da ND é capaz de orientar a prática clínica e escolar com a linguagem explicitando como as patologias e as "falsas patologias" podem afetar o sujeito e a sua relação com a linguagem. / Abstract: Discursive Neurolinguistics (ND) is beeing developed at the Language Studies Institute (IEL), since the initial works of Coudry (1986), presenting a comprehensive conception of language toward brain work based on lurian concepts. Having in mind this theoretical-practical perspective, this thesis aims at debating the importance of such knowledge on the evaluation and clinical practice on language. Through careful presentation and data analysis from children, our intention is to show how ND is capable of giving grounds to the clinical and scholar practice on language, bringing forth how pathologies and false pathologies may affect the subject and his/her relation towards language. / Mestrado / Linguistica / Mestre em Linguística

Através de seu acompanhamento longitudinal, realizado com base em uma abordagem discursiva da afasia, buscou-se compreender as características de sua afasia, discutindo as classificações propostas na literatura e a relação entre sua caracterização e o processo terapêutico. Esta tese destaca as características singulares de um caso que se recusa a encaixar-se nas tipologias existentes, evidenciando a heterogeneidade do fenômeno afásico e as contribuições de um processo terapêutico que não exclui o sujeito. Os dados mostram as relações entre os níveis lingüísticos e apontam que os gestos articulatórios não caminham dissociados de outros aspectos da linguagem em seu funcionamento. O esforço para conter cadeias de associações fônicas e a constante re-instauração da cena enunciativa na produção de seus enunciados se destacam enquanto características do funcionamento da afasia de CN. O processo terapêutico mostra que não se trata de ensinar ou treinar os aspectos alterados pela afasia. O processo com CN ensina que a opção por uma teoria de linguagem que inclua o sujeito, ao invés de uma teorização voltada apenas para o sintoma e para o que falta em sua fala, se mostra decisiva para promover e explicar as mudanças que CN faz durante o período do acompanhamento / Abstract: This thesis presents a case study of an aphasic person (CN). We longitudinally examine the performance of CN in different situations. The study adopts the aphasia¿s discursive approach (Coudry, 1986/88). We try to understand changes in CN¿s language functioning and the characteristics of CN¿s aphasia. The CN¿s aphasia presentation differs from typical aphasias described in traditional typologies. CN¿s language exhibits unique characteristics that lead us to consider the heterogeneity in aphasia and the advantages of a therapeutic process based on a specific view about the relationship between language and subject. Our findings support the relationship between linguistic levels and the relation between articulatory gestures and other language aspects. The effort to limit phonic associations and to build the enunciative scene is frequent and constitutes a typical aspects that demonstrates how language works in this case. The improvements in CN¿s language functioning from our initial evaluation provides support for the language¿s view that includes the subject in its scope and the therapeutic process that is not limited to following training programs or educational treatments / Doutorado / Doutor em Linguística

People perceive the world in their own terms: our use of language reflects our perceptions. The way in which we perceive the world and the words we use to reflect that perception Grinder and Bandler (1976) call a "representational system." The authors isolate three types of representational systems, visual, kinesthetic, and auditory, and they present a technique for mapping these systems. These authors state that a sensory preference profile can be mapped accurately and reliably via an individual's use of language. For example, words such as "clear," "see" and expressions of the kind "I get a picture" would connote a visual modality. Words such as "feel," "hard" and expressions of the kind "I can't grasp it" would connote a kinesthetic modality. An individual's profile is the frequency of words used in each sensory modality.

This study examined comprehension of verb particle constructions in persons with aphasia (PWA) and young and older typical adults according to the semantic classes by Jackendoff (2002). The experimental task focused on the following three classes of verb particle constructions: idiomatic, directional, and aspectual verb particles. Movement of the object NP also was examined. The study involved a picture-matching task counterbalanced for each participant. The results revealed that PWAs showed slower than normal overall processing, slower processing of aspectual verb forms, and slower processing of syntactic form regardless of movement. Error analysis revealed a bias toward the meaning of the verb, particularly on aspectual verb constructions for all three groups. Accuracy data revealed no significant differences between groups although the aphasic group was less accurate in idiomatic verb forms. The results support current literature on the processing of syntactic structures in PWA.

Ao contrário, a pesquisa reapresenta o fenômeno numa perspectiva da Neurolingüística Discursiva (ND), como resultante do trabalho dos sujeitos afásicos sobre os recursos da língua, mesmo que (re) construídos nas situações dialógicas e com a ajuda de seus parceiros da comunicação verbal, utilizando-se aqui de um termo bakhtiniano, que bem descreve a concepção teórica adotada neste trabalho. O fenômeno das parafasias diz respeito à substituição de uma palavra-alvo (aquela pretendida pelo sujeito) por uma outra, ou da troca de um som por outro, podendo variar o grau de semelhança entre os sons - ou palavras - pretendidos e aqueles efetivamente realizados. As parafasias são vistas, geralmente, como um resultado negativo da sua produção em relação à palavra-alvo. Sendo as análises restritas aos aspectos formais da língua, avaliam-se nos testes as unidades isoladas, de forma descontextualizada, o que leva a uma falsa avaliação da competência lingüística dos afásicos, supostamente perdida em decorrência da lesão cerebral. A caracterização e a classificação das parafasias ¿ em fonológicas, lexicais, semânticas, deformantes ou neologizantes - parecem óbvias na literatura neuropsicológica e neurolingüística tradicional, mas de fato não são tão simples. Este trabalho objetiva contrastar a emergência de parafasias na linguagem de quatro sujeitos, com afasias fluentes (em geral decorrentes de lesões posteriores, nas chamadas afasias sensoriais ou de compreensão) e não-fluentes (em geral decorrentes de lesões anteriores, nas chamadas afasias motoras ou de produção) em situações controladas - como na aplicação do Teste de Nomeação da Bateria de Boston - com a emergência de parafasias em situações dialógicas e busca-se demonstrar que, até mesmo em situações de tarefas metalingüísticas, o estudo das parafasias pode indicar os processos subjacentes à produção da significação / Abstract: This work questions the traditional characterization of the paraphasias as a symptom of fluent and non-fluent aphasias, something which is deviant from normal and pathological itself, as the result of a loss of linguistic competence in aphasic subjects. In contrast, this research presents the phenomenon in the perspective of the Discursive Neurolinguistics, as resultant of the work the aphasics operate on the language material (phonological, lexical, syntactic, semantic), even if they reconstruct their language in dialogical situations, with the help of their partners of verbal communication, employing here a bakhtinian term, which well describes the theoretical framework adopted in this research. The phenomenon of the parafasias is related to the substitution of a target word by another one - or the exchange of a sound by another one, which may vary according to the degree of similarity between the sounds - or words ¿ the intended ones and those effectively produced. The parafasias are seen, generally, as a negative result of an aphasic production considering the target-word. The traditional analyses are usually restricted to the formal aspects of the language. The tests are based on isolated units, in a non-contextualized way, leading to a false evaluation of the linguistic competence of the aphasic subjects, which is supposedly lost as a result of a brain injury. The characterization and the classification of the paraphasias - in phonological, lexical, semantic, distortions or neologisms ¿ seems obvious in traditional neuropsychology and neurolinguistics literature, but in fact they are not so simple. This work contrasts the emergency of parafasias in the language of four subjects, with fluent aphasias (generally in consequence of posterior brain injuries, in the so-called sensorial or comprehension aphasias) and non-fluent (in general in consequence of anterior injuries called motor or production aphasias) in controlled situations - as in the application of the Boston Naming Test (Boston Assessment Test) - with the emergency of paraphasias in dialogical contexts. The research aims to show that even in the context of metalinguistic tasks, the study of the paraphasias can indicate the underlying processes to the production of the signification / Mestrado / Mestre em Linguística

With a growing multilingual global population, it is becoming increasingly important to know how people of varying cultures respond to persuasive appeals. Cross-cultural studies on persuasion have found differences in American and Chinese advertisements that reflect individualistic and collectivist cultural values. However, these studies have ignored the possible effect of language, despite research showing that language can activate specific cultural ideas and behaviors in bilingual individuals. Additionally, differences have been found in thinking and emotionality in the native (L1) versus the non-native language (L2), that seem to parallel the central and peripheral routes of elaboration in persuasion. Therefore, the proposed study will explore relationship between culture, language and attitude change. In stage 1, participants will report their initial attitudes towards the topics of air travel and nuclear power and their L1 preference. In stage 2, participants will read 2 stories that contain a cultural prime (magpie/red light from a lantern) with contrasting cultural association in American and Chinese culture and fictional scenarios about air travel and nuclear power. Participants will report their attitudes after reading the stories and attitude change will be examined. Two possible outcomes for main effects and interactions between Linguistic/Cultural association and L1 preference on the dependent variable of attitude change will be explored with the intent of discovering which processes are dominant in the bilingual brain.

The purpose of this study proposal is to examine the potential relationship between linguistic creativity and mood disorders, specifically depression and bipolar disorder. Participants will be approximately 67 adults who have either bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, or serve as a healthy control group. Participants will complete prompts in order to measure linguistic creativity and then fill out several questionnaires relating to depressed mood, mania, general creativity, and rumination levels. It is predicted that bipolar disorder will have higher levels of certain types of linguistic creativity, such as lexical and semantic creativity, whereas depression will have more syntactic creativity. Furthermore, it is anticipated that higher rumination levels in the depressed group will be associated with higher levels of linguistic creativity, as opposed to participants in the depressed group with lower levels of rumination. Lastly, it is predicted that the type of writing prompt will influence the amount of creativity exhibited by each participant group. The proposed study has implications for therapeutic benefits, the emergence of a new area of research in two separate fields, and a new way of analyzing shifts in speech patterns of those with mood disorders.
