A partir da Lexicologia e sua interface com outros campos do saber, em especial, a Lexicografia, a Antropologia, a História e a Sociologia, propomo-nos realizar uma pesquisa cujo objeto de investigação são tipos peculiares de definição empregados oralmente pelos falantes ao descreverem elementos da flora. Para constituição do corpus oral foi necessário, primeiro, a realização da pesquisa de campo que ocorreu em sete municípios localizados na região sudeste do estado de Goiás. Entrevistamos duas mulheres e dois homens em cada lugar, somando um total de vinte e oito pessoas, a maioria com idade acima de sessenta anos. Além de pertencerem, praticamente, à mesma geração, outro ponto que têm em comum é o fato de suas histórias de vida estarem atravessadas pela relação com o campo antes e depois do êxodo rural que, nas terras goianas, iniciou-se em 1980. Nosso objetivo principal é analisar os procedimentos linguísticos utilizados pelas senhoras e senhores na constituição das definições referentes às plantas da região. Mais especificamente, este trabalho se propõe: i) comparar as definições realizadas pelos nossos interlocutores àquelas registradas no banco de dados do Dicionário Histórico do Português do Brasil (DHPB) que é constituído pelos mais variados textos e docu...

A partir de la Lexicologie et de son interface avec d'autres domaines du savoir, en particulier, la Lexicographie, l'Anthropologie, l'Histoire et la Sociologie, nous proposons de mener une recherche dont les objets d'enquête sont des types particuliers de définition employés oralement par les locuteurs au fur et à mesure qu'ils décrivent les éléments de la flore. Pour la constitution du corpus oral, il a fallu, d'abord, mener des recherches sur le terrain dans sept municipalités situées dans la région sud-est de l'État de Goiás. Nous avons interviewé deux femmes et deux hommes dans chaque localité, représentant le total de vingt-huit personnes, la majorité âgée de plus de soixante ans. En plus d'appartenir, quasiment, à la même génération, un autre point commun est le fait que leur histoire de vie est traversée par la relation avec la campagne avant et après l'exode rural qui a commencé dans les terres de Goiás en 1980. Notre objectif principal est d'analyser les procédures linguistiques utilisées par les dames et messieurs dans la constitution des définitions qui font référence aux plantes de la région. Plus précisément, ce travail propose : i) de comparer les définitions faites par nos interlocuteurs avec celles enregistrées dans la base de données du Dictionn...

From Lexicology and its interface with other fields of knowledge, in particular, Lexicography, Anthropology, History and Sociology, we propose to carry out a research whose object of investigation are peculiar types of definition used orally by the speakers in describing elements of the flora. For constitution of the oral corpus was necessary, first, the realization of field research that occurred in seven municipalities located in the southeast region of the state of Goiás. We interviewed two women and two men in each place, totaling twenty-eight people, most of them over the age of sixty. Besides belonging, practically, to the same generation, Another point they have in common is that their life histories are crossed by the relationship with the countryside before and after the rural exodus that began in the lands of Goias in 1980. Our main objective is to analyze the linguistic procedures used by the mistress and mister in the constitution of the definitions concerning the plants of the region. More specifically, this paper proposes: i ) compare the definitions made by our interlocutors with those registered in the database of the Brazilian Historical Dictionary (DHPB), which consists of the most varied texts and documents; ii ) discuss the relationsh...

M.A. / Primere doelstelling 'n Sosiolinguistiese beskrywing van die taalgebruik van wingerdwerkers, wat 'n relatief eentalige, homogene taalgemeenskap is. Sekondere doelstellings Die saamstel van 'n wingerd-leksikon. Die gee van 'n transkripsie van dele uit Bacchus in die Boland op grond van die veranderlike uitspraakvorme wat deur die navorsing vasgestel is. 'n Voorondersoek is eers onderneem om to bepaal of hierdie spesifieke groep sprekers se taalgebruik enigsins uniek is as dit vergelyk sou word met die ondersoeke wat reeds op die gebied in ander bruin gemeenskappe gedoen is. Gedurende die voorondersoek is slegs met 'n paar respondente gesels (twee manlike wingerdwerkers op die wynplaas Louwshoek, drie manlike wingerdwerkers op die wynplaas Merwida en een manlike wingerdwerker op die wynplaas Klein Pokkraal). Daar is ook vroulike wingerdwerkers, maar die onderskeie plaasbestuurders het telkens voorgestel met wie gesels moes word, omdat die werkers volgens hulle "baie geselserig" is. Die werkers wat deur hulle vir onderhoude uitgewys is, was almal manlik. Tydens die hoofondersoek is onderhoude met vroulike wingerdwerkers sowel as met kinders van die werkers gevoer. Al die onderhoude is op band geneem. Onderhoude wat op band geneem word, is the heeltemal natuurlik the, want "Interview speech is formal speech" en "monitored and controlled in response to the presence of an outside observer." Die ondersoeker het as vreemdeling (slegs bekend gestel aan respondente kort voor die onderhoude, wat wel vooraf gereel is en waartoe respondente toestemming verleen het) met 'n bandopnemer opgedaag en informeel met werkers probeer kommunikeer. Sommige respondente was ontspanne en het gemaklik op vrae reageer, terwyl ander duidelik ongemaklik was met die ondersoeker en die bandopnemer. Hierdie ongemak het veroorsaak dat respondente vrae in kort, eenvoudige sinne beantwoord het of baie sag of binnensmonds gepraat het. Dit het aanvanklik 'n in diepte studie van die wingerdwerkers se taalgebruik bemoeilik.Om hierdie rede is tydens 'n volgende ondersoek op 'n gemakliker basis met respondente kommunikeer. Tydens die hoofondersoek is genoemde probleme grootliks uitgeskakel deur die respondente se taalgebruik sover moontlik in hul natuurlike sosiale konteks te bestudeer. Bandopnames is gemaak tydens interaksie met familielede en vriende asook tydens sosiale geleenthede. 'n Ooglopende oplossing was om tydens hul werksure in die wingerde na die respondente te gaan luister. Hierdie projek was baie tydrowend, maar beslis lonend, aangesien die sprekers in 'n vertroude omgewing en situasie tussen bekendes is en sodoende is juis hul alledaagse, natuurlike taalgebruik op band vasgele. Hierdie situasie was ideaal vir die studie, aangesien dit meer spesifiek handel oor die taalgebruik (uitspraak, woordvorme, leksikon en sintaktiese vorme) van die wingerdwerkers in die aangeduide omgewing. Tydens die voorondersoek is vasgestel dat hierdie groep sprekers se taalgebruik verskille vertoon van die van ander bruin gemeenskappe, hoofsaaklik wat hul leksikon en omgangstaal betref, en dit was ook opvallend dat hierdie groep sprekers net oor 'n informele styl beskik.

Norteada pelas pesquisas no domínio da Linguística Cognitiva e da Comunicação Social, esta dissertação, de cunho interdisciplinar, objetiva responder ao seguinte questionamento: o que o case da cerveja Polar revela sobre a conceptualização de REGIONAL, através do discurso publicitário e pelo emprego de expressões multimodais de caráter metafórico e metonímico? A proposição que orienta essa pesquisa, na relação com o problema formulado, é que a linguagem multimodal explora uma construção estereotipada de gaúcho na produção das peças publicitárias da marca Polar. Especificamente, visa-se identificar como o modelo cultural do GAÚCHO é utilizado através da linguagem multimodal para posicionar a marca Polar e, com isso, criar vínculos emocionais com os consumidores. Para a corroboração da proposição, montou-se o case da marca Polar servindo-se do método de estudo de caso, formando-se corpora constituídos por três categorias de corpus, quais sejam: três peças publicitárias de mídia impressa, três peças de mídia digital e três vídeos. Como referencial teórico para sustentar essas análises, optou-se por Tavares (1998), Martins (1999; 2006), Pinho (1996), Aaker (2001), Aaker e Joachimsthaler (2002), Torres (2010) e Gobé (2002) para o estudo das marcas emocionais; Lakoff (1980; 1987), Forceville e Urios Aparisi (2009), Forceville (1996; 2009), Koller (2009) e Feltes (2007) para o estudo de metáforas e metonímias conceptuais; e Holland e Quinn (1987), D’Andrade (1987), Quinn (1987; 1997), Strauss e Quinn (1997) para o estudo de modelos culturais. A análise dos corpora revela que (a) as peças midiáticas servem-se amplamente da multimodalidade da linguagem, com ênfase em metáforas e metonímias verbais e não verbais; e (b) os produtores das mídias operam sobre um modelo cultural REGIONAL GAÚCHO de caráter ad hoc, produzindo uma representação conceptual mesclada por elementos de diferentes regiões do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, construída para a consecução dos propósitos específicos de suas campanhas de propaganda. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-02-09T12:47:53Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Aline Gambin.pdf: 5482339 bytes, checksum: 5fb422bf50397496db476767adcf0408 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-02-09T12:47:53Z (GMT).

The hypothesis that guides this research, in relation to the formulated problem, is that the multimodal language exploits a stereotypical construction of gaúcho in the production of publicity material of the Polar brand. Specifically, the aim is to identify how the GAUCHO cultural model is used by multimodal language to position the Polar brand and thereby create emotional connections with consumers. In order to corroborate the hypothesis, the case of the Polar brand has been assembled, making use of the method of case study, forming corpora consisting of three corpus categories, namely: three pieces of print media advertising, three pieces of digital media and three videos. As a theoretical framework to support these analyses Tavares (1998), Martins (1999, 2006), Pine (1996), Aaker (2001), Aaker and Joachimsthaler (2002), Torres (2010), Gobé (2002) have been elected for the study of emotional impressions. Lakoff (1980, 1987), Forceville and Urios Aparisi (2009), Forceville (1996, 2009), Koller (2009) and Feltes (2007) have been elected for the study of conceptual metaphor and metonymy. Holland and Quinn (1987), D'Andrade (1987) Quinn (1987, 1997), Strauss and Quinn (1997), in their turn, have guided the study of cultural models. The analysis of corpora shows that (a) the media pieces make wide use of the multimodality of language, with emphasis on verbal and nonverbal metaphors and metonymies; and (b) the media producers operate on a ad hoc REGIONAL GAUCHO cultural model, producing a blended representation by conceptual elements from different regions of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, built for the achievement of the specific purposes of their advertisement campaigns.

This dissertation consists in essence of an experiment and a commentary upon it. The text which constitutes Part II is a lexicographical experiment incorporating some features and treatments not usual in lexicography, and Part I consists of a discussion of the problems encountered, principles applied and procedures followed. Neither the matter nor the manner of the experiment, however, lends itself in the present state of our knowledge to the fully impersonal objectivity that is often claimed for the experiments in the physical sciences. At the same time every effort has been made to establish an unbiased record of the data and to maintain a certain methodological consistency. The main experimental feature of Part II is that it is an attempt to combine an orthodox, alphabetical dictionary with an experiential categorisation of the vocabulary, without repeating the entire data for each type of treatment. This has been done by means of a series of numbered, classified word-lists with a limited subject index as a guide to their use. The entries themselves, instead of being repeated in the order of their classification, are numbered according to the category or categories to which the word defined belongs. It can then, by means of its number(s), be found in its own lexical or experiential set (or sets) in the categorised section. This part of the work might be better described as lexicology rather than lexicography but does, I think, prove itself to be a useful adjunct to the A - Z lexicon proper. Apart from the detailed categorisation system the text contains three features not normally included in dictionaries of small compass: illustrative quotations, etymologies and a number of tentative parallels between South African and other varieties of English by means of cross-references to items of similar or related meaning or form in the English of Australia, Canada, the U.S.A., Hong Kong, Anglo-India and other 'overseas' English speech communities. Introduction, p. 1.

The purposes of this thesis are to present a study of Jose S. Alvarez, known as Fray Mocho, and his works with particular attention paid to Memorias de un vigilante; to make a study of lunfardo, the slang of Buenos Aires - its origin, its nature, and its influence on language and literature; and to show the important place of Fray Mocho in the history of lunfardo. To accomplish these purposes, in Chapter I, I have undertaken to present a brief sketch of the life of Fray Mocho. Then I attempt to make a brief introduction to his literary work and place it into the literary history of Argentina. Chapter II contains first a discussion of the nature of and importance of Memorias de un vigilante and then a linguistic study, with definitions and etymologies, of the lunfardo vocabulary Fray Mocho gives in "Mundo lunfardo". This is a link with Chapter III which is a study of lunfardo and its historical and sociological background as well as a discussion of the sources of its vocabulary, and the nature of the language. This study of lunfardo closes with a discussion of the influence of lunfardo has had on literature and the spoken language. The conclusion is an attempt to bring together Fray Mocho and lunfardo and show his important place in the history of slang. / Arts, Faculty of / French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department of / Graduate
