Our work runs over the realization of the fricatives /s/ and /z/ on the right edge of morphemes on the Brazilian portuguese, especially on the gaucho dialect, in reference to the model of the Standard Optimality Theory. The data we have considered refer mainly to prefixes, although, the statements concluded here do not limit themselves only to this morphological boundary, but also to the boundaries of other morphemes, including words. Our proposal takes as a foundation the hypothesis that the underlying representation of the fricative is /z/. Giving account of the distinct realization of this fricative on the surface are the context-sensitive markedness constraints *[s] [+cons,+voz] and *voiced-coda and the faithfulness constraint Ident-IO ranked in this specific order. The analysis shows that it is possible to observe this aspect of the phonology of the PB though the standard Optimality Theory.

This paper is the result of maturation of a research project that studies the mitopoéticas interpreted by accountants of "cause" and the island of assombrações João Pilatos - Ananindeua Pa -. Perceived as subjects of meanings of habitats, of diffuse offers free choices and, thus, subject border. Stories such as curupira rapist, show through the imagery of social actors, their negotiations with the daily life. These cultural landscapes under the gaze of epistemology really sensitive to differences, demystifying exotic visions, reductionist and arrogant on the issue.

Joaquim Norberto’s, Brasileiras célebres, integrates our historiography as a transitional work, in a sense that this text constitutes a pioneer place to express the female representation. It furnishes the visibility to life and production of some notorious women from the eighteen hundreds, as well as it gives ratification to effective values and customs on the patriarchal society of that century. To analyze and to discuss the textual process of this historiographer, yet perceiving the place his work occupy in the milieu of historiography tradition in Brazil, are the primordial aims of this present essay.

In this paper, we present a survey of the patterns of verb vowel harmony in the dictionarized verbs of Brazilian Portuguese. We also present the results of an empirical study on the productivity and the transparency of this process, which had as its basis our survey of dictionarized patterns.

This work have as objective to discuss the reaseon which conduct to the silence and omission of the erotic production Bernardo Guimarães’, by literary historiography. Leaving of the hypothesis which the erotic production of this poet been ignored and excluded about to margins of the literary system because is elaborated through of the a language loweres, with intention of the loer the myths and cause the laughter, endowed of the features which interlard in frontier between the pornographic and erotic.

According to theories developed by Eric J. Hobsbawm, Benedict Anderson, Michel Foucault, Hugo Achugar, Flávio Kothe, the aim of this study is to verify that in Brazil, during the 19th century, the speech of invention of the nation, homogenizer of identities, blot voices and images of afrobrazilians, in order to maintain the nationalist project. Written by Ferdinand Denis and Gonçalves de Magalhães, the texts analyzed found the Historiography of Brazilian Literature, and, as important source of research, spread out the trace of exclusion.

The present article is about Gregório de Mattos, the baroque poet, and aims at considering that his insertion in the literary canon and the criteria used to valorize his poetry might be strictly connected to the place of production of his discourse, the way he expressed his themes, and his insertion – his social role - in the context of his time. In my perspective these occurrences are directly related to the ideological positions of the historians of literature and the literary criticism, whose social values and cultural proposals constituted an array of ideas as diverse as the work of the poet from Bahia. Keywords: Gregório de Mattos; History of Brazilian Literature; Literary Criticism; text and context.

Paper on Brazilian literature history.

Paper on the erasure of orality in the historiography of Brazilian literature.

The aim of this work is to analyze the process of semivocalization of lateral liquid consonants, prevocalic position through a bibliographic review of the subject. First, these consonants are characterized and justifications for the appearance of the process which make them being released as glides. Afterwards, this phenomenon is discussed in the area of Language Acquisition and the area of Linguistic Variation. Thus, it was taken concepts from Câmara Jr (1953 and 1987), Hernandorena (1988, 1990 and 2001), Azambuja (1998), Silva (2003) e Aragão (1999). Based on these authors, among others, it can be said that, in Language Acquisition, semivocalization is a natural stage of liquids acquisition, due to the articulation complexity of this kind of consonant. In Linguistic Variation, semivocalization involves two processes: despalatalização and iotização, which are referred only to the consonant //. Besides that, in the recent phase of our language, the tendency of some communities is the opposite process of the evolution presented from Latin to Portuguese, i.e., despalatalização and iotização, because, by the principle of economy, those would be typical tendencies to be established, once they promote a facility of articulation.

In the early brazilian historiographic tradition, one may notice a certain inclination towards the definition of the rising brazilian national literature through the identification of typical elements which told it apart from the “original” portuguese literature. Redeeming these trend in some of our earliest historiographers, this study aims at picking out echoes from this tension line in the contemporary historiography produced by Alfredo Bosi and Luciana Stegagno Picchio regarding their evaluations of the body of work of Cecilia Meireles and Murilo Mendes, considering that these poets do not fit in perfectly in the “local” or “picturesque” necessities established by the historiographic tradition of which they belong to. Keywords: Historiography; Brazilian poetry; Cecília Meireles; Murilo Mendes

The present article is an analysis of an American tale, The Story of an Hour, from Kate Chopin (1894), in the light of Émile Benveniste, aiming at corroborating the hypothesis that the author marks herself in the employment of the English language as well as makes herself present in the world indirectly once bringing about her subjectivity. Key-words: formal apparel, subjectivity, enunciation.

This paper accomplishes a study about media languages: it makes a comparative analysis of O Primo Basílio romance fragment, by Eça de Queirós, and its adaptation into the cinema, the homonymous film of the Director Daniel Filho, analyzing the transcodification process from the literary narrative language to the cinematographic language. We aims to accomplish a reading that seeks comprehend the meaning of some primordial factors of the Romanesque structure: the details- the sofa, the divan, the ambient illumination, the objects color – in the romance and in the film. The study will focus the analysis of aspects that help to verify how the configuration of choices in the literary speech was, seen as starting point, and transposed into another configuration, the film. The intertextual dialogue in the narrative speech will be evidenced through theoric basis supported in several authors of the cinematographic and narrative theory. The omnipresence of the mass culture in the contemporaneous life can be made as an instrument for the work of transformation people and relations with life, from approaches, between the two focused languages, that move to new knowledge.
