La recherche en question, à inscrire en sociolinguistique urbaine s’attache à étudier les liens tissés entre l’espace, la langue et l’identité dans le contexte de la culture urbaine de Hanoï et ce, au travers des discours des jeunes habitant la ville. Cette démarche fondée sur enquêtes de terrain (entretiens semi-directifs, questionnaire, locuteurs masqués) permet de rendre compte du « poids urbain » de Hanoï dans différents types de pratiques (sociolinguistiques, culturelles, socio-spatiales, identitaires…) des habitants de la ville. La recherche tente aussi de montrer comment les discours épilinguistiques contribuent à la production des normes substandard et à la normalisation de l’espace socio-langagier duparler urbain hanoïen. / The present research, in the field of urban sociolinguistics, studies the links created between space, language and identity in the discourses of young urban residents. Based on field surveys (semidirective interviews, questionnaires, hidden speakers), this approach Hanoï's urban weight to show in several kinds of urban residents practices (sociolinguistical, cultural, socio-spatial, identity-related practices…). This research is also an attempt to show how epilinguistical discourses contribute to the production of substandart norms and to the standardization of the sociolinguistic space of Hanoï's urbanspeeches.

After providing an historical overview of the French spelling system and orthographic variation, this study analyzes selected internal (i.e., linguistic) factors and one external (i.e., social) factor that can influence the use of diacritics in online French-language chat sessions. From a corpus of synchronous computer-mediated communication, 3,855 tokens of graphemes capable of bearing diacritics were coded with the following scheme: Letter, Diacritic, Grapheme (i.e., Letter and Diacritic combined), Date of Participation, and Age Group of Participant. A multivariate (VARBRUL) analysis determined that Grapheme exerts the most influence on variation.

This study partially replicates and re-explores specific dimensions of a textbook analysis of the presentation and use of specific grammatical elements and sociolinguistic variants in textbooks published in the United States for learners of French. Authenticity is situated as a central construct in the analysis of interrogatives, relative pronouns, and the negative particle ne in selected textbooks and ancillary materials. The findings reveal that little progress has been made over the past twenty years in integrating authentic representations of discourse into French-as-a-foreign-language textbooks.

Neste trabalho, analisamos discursos do senso comum que se reportam à língua como elemento constituinte da nação brasileira. O que, consideramos, atua no processo de construção de identidade nacional. Empregando um viés diacrônico e qualitativo, tratamos de imagens presentes em Casa Grande & Senzala, de Gilberto Freyre 1933, tais como o português com açúcar - ou o abrandamento do português do Brasil -, além de enunciados do século XIX sobre como os brasileiros utilizam sua língua. O objetivo é ressaltar como em ambos os grupos de enunciados as representações sociais que emergem atuam tanto no imaginário sobre a língua como sobre os grupos que a utilizam. Tal processo concorre para a construção de identidade lingüística: como o indivíduo se reconhece na sua língua, como o indivíduo se refere a ela, o que se diz dela que é aceito como verdade / Abstract: Languages are everyday object of discourses that may be both evaluative and descriptive. This fact is an acknowledged concern in sociolinguistic research. In this work, we analyze commonsensical discourses on language as constitutive element of the Brazilian nation, which, we consider, operates in the process of national identity construction. Resorting to a diachronic and qualitative perspective, we deal with images in the classic Casa Grande & Senzala (by Gilberto Freire, whose first edition is from 1933), such as Portuguese with suggar ¿ or the softening of Brazilian Portuguese -, together with utterances from the 19th century on how Brazilian citizens use their language. The objective is to highlight how, in both utterance groups, the emerging representations operates both in the imaginary on language as in the social groups that use it. This process also works towards the linguistic identity construction: how does the individual recognizes herself in her language, how does the individual refers to it, what is said about it that is accepted as being true / Doutorado / Doutor em Linguística

Este estudo procura saber se as formas de integração e de socialização dos migrantes dependem ou não da linguagem no uso de variantes linguísticas e de aspectos socioculturais, remetendo à contribuição sociolinguística para analisar como essa integração se faz, observando as noções de obstáculos e de preconceitos. O objetivo geral consiste em analisar os processos de integração social e linguística, baseados nos usos linguísticos e nos processos de interação social, dos migrantes. O corpus é constituído por entrevistas narrativas, as quais proporcionam a discussão através dos dados obtidos. Assim, emergem as diferenças e as assimilações de linguagem entre os migrados e a população local. A pesquisa utiliza o método analítico, isto é, analisa conceitos gerais e informações alcançadas com as entrevistas. Os dados mostram que as dificuldades de integração ocorrem tanto por problemas de linguagem quanto por problemas de ordem cultural e social. Este estudo revela que a interação social deveria se efetiva mediante sensibilidade sociolinguística entre migrados e habitantes locais. / This study is researching whether the forms of integration and socialization of migrants depend or not on the language in the use of linguistic variations and socio cultural aspects, referring to the sociolinguistic contribution to analyze how this integration takes place, observing the obstacle and prejudice notions. The general objective consists of analyzing the processes of social and linguistic integration based on the linguistic use and social interaction processes of the migrants. The corpus consists of narrative interviews, which proportion the argument through the data obtained. This way, emerge the differences and the assimilation of the language between the migrants and the local population. The research uses the analytical method which is analysis of the general concepts and information obtained from the interviews. The data shows that the integration difficulties occur not only because of language problems but also due to cultural and social problems. This study reveals that social interaction is realized through sociolinguistic sensibility among migrants and local inhabitants.

Um dos objetivos é levá-los a pensar o uso da língua segundo os mais diversificados contextos sociais e interacionais. Por isso, desfazer (pré)conceitos que emergem de práticas tradicionais e promover um ensino que relaciona a diversidade linguística como fruto da diversidade social também constitui o objetivo deste estudo. Sobre isso, é essencial que toda a escola favoreça a reflexão sobre a língua materna, pensamento compartilhado por Bagno (2007, p.116) ao revelar que: “É precisamente em torno disso que devemos lutar para criar uma pedagogia da variação e da mudança linguística, uma reeducação sociolinguística, em que a língua seja vista como heterogênea, variável, mutante, sujeita às vicissitudes e peripécias da vida em sociedade.”. Com a finalidade de tornar tais discussões mais satisfatórias à realidade da sala de aula, a investigação aqui descrita é ancorada em um trabalho de pesquisa-ação realizado em uma turma de nono ano de uma escola particular do muncípio de Juiz de Fora (MG). Fundamentado, portanto, na metodologia da pesquisa-ação de base etnográfica, objetiva-se desenvolver uma pedagogia da variação linguística (FARACO, 2008), por meio da Sociolinguística Educacional (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2004). Verificou-se que, a partir dessa proposta, a educação sociolinguística e os pressupostos que a sustentam podem contribuir satisfatoriamente para ampliar a competência comunicativa de alunos em processo de compreensão e de domínio da língua materna. / In this research, I intend to demonstrate how Sociolinguistics and its assumptions are able to extend the communicative competence of students speaking of the common urban variety (FARACO, 2008) who are in process of understanding and acquisition of the language they use. One goal is to get them to think about the use of language according to the most diverse social and interactional contexts. Therefore, undo prejudices that emerge from traditional practices and promote education which connects linguistic diversity as a result of social diversity is also the aim of this study. Thus, it is essential that the whole school encourages reflection on the mother tongue, thought shared by Bagno (2007, p.116) by revealing that: "It is precisely around that we should strive to create a pedagogy of linguistics variation and change, sociolinguistics rehabilitation, where the language is seen as heterogeneous, variable, mutant, subject to the vicissitudes and incidents of social life. ". In order to make such discussions more satisfactory to the reality of the classroom, the research described here is anchored in an action research work carried out in a class of ninth year of a private school in Juiz de Fora (MG). Basing on the methodology of ethnographic action research, I aimed to develop a pedagogy of language variation (FARACO, 2008), through Educational Sociolinguistics (Bortoni-RICARDO, 2004). I found that, from this proposal, the sociolinguistic education and the assumptions which support it can satisfactorily contribute to enlarge the communicative competence of students in the process of understanding and acquisition of the mother tongue.

Neste trabalho, busquei apresentar uma pesquisa que procurou mostrar o desenvolvimento linguístico e a produção dos saberes de crianças e adolescentes moradores do bairro onde vivi, no qual um projeto denominado Curumim está inserido, desenvolvido pela Associação Municipal de Apoio Comunitário – AMAC, da Prefeitura Municipal de Juiz de Fora, no Estado de Minas Gerais. O objetivo foi investigar se as oficinas de teatro, como as do Curumim, ofereciam contribuições efetivas para o desenvolvimento da competência comunicativa dos alunos. O caminho para a coleta de dados durante as oficinas aconteceu por meio das anotações no diário de campo, questionários de crenças, questionário socioeconômico e gravação eletrônica em áudio. Esses materiais instrumentalizaram a coleta dos dados e fizeram parte de uma amostra que constituíram o corpus que compôs essa pesquisa. A oficina de teatro não é uma aula de português tradicional de língua portuguesa, no entanto, enquanto gênero textual, o teatro atende a diversos aspectos que podem auxiliar um trabalho voltado para uma reflexão sobre a língua, por meio dos princípios da Sociolinguística Educacional, principalmente contemplando um trabalho através de uma pedagogia culturalmente sensível (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2004) capaz de levar até as crianças dessa comunidade, possibilidades de ampliar sua competência de linguagem. Além disso, as oficinas trazem consigo características que são essencialmente próprias do contexto sociocultural das crianças, pois, as atividades realizadas partem daquilo que é significativo para elas. / My constitution of life space and my formation during childhood, adolescence and adulthood at a slum was the driving force that created in me concerns, interests and motivation in order to develop this research. In this work, I aimed at presenting the development of a research which sought to show the linguistic development and the production of children’s and adolescent’s knowledge living in the neighborhood where I lived, where there is a social project called Curumim developed by Associação Municipal de Apoio Comunitário – AMAC, by Juiz de Fora Mayor, Minas Gerais. The goal was to investigate whether the acting classes, such as the ones offered by Curumim, would offer effective contributions for the development of the communicative competence of students. The route to collect the data during the classes occurred by the notes on the field diary, beliefs questionnaires; socioeconomic questionnaires and audio electronic recording. These resources equipped the data collection and took part in a sample that constituted the corpus which composed this research. The acting class is not a traditional Portuguese class, however, as a textual genre, it includes several aspects that are able to help to develop a work inclined to reflect about the language, through the principles of Educational Sociolinguistics, mainly contemplating a work through a culturally sensitive pedagogy (BORTONI-RICARDO, 2004) able to take to the children from this community possibilities of enlarging their language competence. Furthermore, the classes bring characteristics that are essentially specific of children’s sociocultural context, because the activities are conducted from what is significative for them.

“Canadian Raising” (CR) is a phonological process typical of Canadian English, defined as the production of /aj, aw/ with raised nuclei before voiceless codas, e.g. in about. This dissertation investigates the relationship between CR and another process which abbreviates vowels in the same phonological context in most English dialects: pre-voiceless vowel abbreviation (PVVA). This study sampled three North American dialects: Canada, and the American West and North. Comparisons of vowel duration and formant trajectories revealed common patterns and specific differences between these dialects related to both CR and PVVA. Comparisons of vowel formant trajectories were conducted using statistical techniques for comparing curvilinear datasets, employed in novel methodology which utilizes multiple models of time-scaling. Results indicate that the allophonic production of /aw/ differs in Canadian English in relation to the other dialects, while /aj/ follows a common pattern in all three. I argue that PVVA is achieved through the gestural reorganization of vowels preceding voiceless coda, with the dynamic nature of diphthongs making possible several patterns of abbreviation, two of which are attested in these data: truncation of the onset i.e. the diphthongal nucleus, and compression of the overall trajectory; truncation of the offset is also attested for some monophthongs. Differences in selection of which of these abbrevatory patterns applies to /aw/ in Canadian English versus other dialects accounts for the observed differences in phonetic output. These results indicate that it is worth reconsidering several aspects of the current conception of CR, as follows. First, diphthong-raising processes can be directly linked to the more common process of vowel abbreviation, with consideration of how diphthongal gestures are organized, and reorganized in relation to post-vocalic voicing gestures. Second, that /aw/-raising appears to be distinctly Canadian. And third, that /aj/-raising is not specifically Canadian, suggesting that the two terms be described and named distinctly. This dissertation contributes to the literature on sociophonetics in two major ways: by indicating how CR is directly connected to PVVA in contemporary speech, beyond their surmised historical connections; and, by developing novel methodology for the analysis of dynamic formant trajectories, involving comparison of different time-scaling methods. / Graduate
