In this paper I set out from Brazilian social theories on race to analyse a contemporary corpus of news reports in a Brazilian broadsheet newspaper. The aim is investigating change in mediated discourses on race. Based on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and with the help of corpus linguistics methodological tools I focus on lexical items used to categorise race, the semantic relations created and their association with discourse representation in the newspaper. The combined analysis of semantic relations and interdiscursivity has allowed for the perception of tensions over the use of terms from different semantic fields to categorize race and of conflicting discourses of race classification in the paper. The analysis has also allowed for a cautious interpretation of dialogicality and of different orientations to racial difference, following the social research inventories in Fairclough (2003) in the reports.

O presente artigo discute a autoria na rede eletrônica, focando especialmente a questão da memória, do arquivo e do sujeito. À luz da Análise do Discurso de matriz francesa e apoiada no conceito de heterogeneidade enunciativa (Authier-Revuz), analiso um corpus lingüístico coletado em 2004, em um blog político de nome Mexidão. A análise indicia, provisoriamente, que a topologia do hipertexto, a rapidez dos acessos e a estrutura textual do diário íntimo eletrônico criam a imagem de um sujeito-navegador em permanente trânsito.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar a aplicação de uma metodologia cladística da Biologia Evolucionária na análise da classificação das línguas Indo-Européias por meio de caracteres fonológicos e morfológicos de 12 famílias lingüísticas. Para a análise filogenética dos dados, foi usado o tratamento de máxima parcimônia. Os resultados da análise aqui descrita apontam para a existência dos subgrupos tradicionais das línguas Indo-Européias atestados na literatura e indicam, ainda, que pode existir um super grupo de línguas Ítalo-Celtico-Germânico.

Este artigo examina os argumentos de Costa 2001 contra a proposta de que os sujeitos não se elevam por movimento A para Spec-IP em Português Europeu (PE) e defende que nenhum deles infirma a referida proposta. Apesar de esta parecer, à partida, contra-intuitiva, tem a enorme vantagem de se integrar numa teoria do Parâmetro do Sujeito Nulo, que, sendo extremamente simples, tem um alcance empírico considerável. Em particular, é capaz de predizer não só o leque de propriedades classicamente atribuídas às Línguas de Sujeito Nulo como uma série de outros fenómenos que, à partida, nenhuma outra teoria é capaz de prever. A teoria que defende que os sujeitos ocupam a posição canónica pode parecer mais intuitiva, mas tem uma capacidade preditiva pobre e exige uma série de assunções adicionais para lidar com os fenómenos referidos.

An important reason for the tremendous interest in metaphor over the past 20 years stems from cognitive linguistic research. Cognitive linguists embrace the idea that metaphor is not merely a part of language, but reflects a fundamental part of the way people think, reason, and imagine. A large number of empirical studies in cognitive linguistics have, in different ways, supported this claim. My aim in this paper is to describe the empirical foundations for cognitive linguistic work on metaphor, acknowledge various skeptical reactions to this work, and respond to some of these questions/criticisms. I also outline several challenges that cognitive linguists should try to address in future work on metaphor in language, thought, and culture.

This article presents some considerations into metaphor in language and thought- 'the topic and title of the first conference of its kind in Brazil'. The paper focuses on the discussions presented in the round table, which were mostly directed to the empirical research on metaphor in Applied Linguistics. This integrative and retrospective reflection on the papers presented will be conducted from the perspective of the debate into the relationship between metaphor in language and in thought. This central issue is at the core of my proposal for four different approaches to metaphor, based on the interdependence between language and thought as system and as use:1) metaphor in language as system; 2) metaphor in thought as system; 3) metaphor in language as use and 4) metaphor in thought as use. It is within the framework of these categories that metaphors should be studied, with a certain degree of autonomy, so that their interdependence can be better understood.

This paper considers metaphor as a kind of activity in the spirit of Levinson's 'Activity Types' or of Mey's 'Pragmatic Acts'. Contrary to what has been suggested in the literature, metaphors neither belong exclusively to the domain of abstract reasoning (such as by analogy; Max Black), nor are they merely linguistic and/or psychological processes (of cognition; George Lakoff). Metaphors do not originate and live in the brain only, neither do they exclusively belong to some conceptual domain from which they can establish relations to other domains, or blend with them. Metaphors are primarily pragmatic activities.In my contribution, I will concentrate on the pragmatics of what is called 'embodiment': while metaphors represent, respectively support or illustrate, an activity that is performed by the total human being, the body part of the metaphoric deal is often neglected. Yet, as many researchers in the humanities and the sciences have shown, the role of the body in solving problems through appropriate metaphoring cannot be overestimated. An embodied perspective on thought, and especially on metaphor, will allow us to form a better understanding of the things we do with words, when we use words to do things.

This work investigates the relevance of analogy, metonymy and metaphor in word formation patterns and their products. Initially, the semantic side of proportional analogy in morphological restructuring is analyzed. The work then concentrates on the role of metonymy in the formation of instrumentals and agent nouns. The last part of the work is dedicated to the role of metaphor in compounding. The main point of the paper is to show how metaphor is fundamental to the constitution of the lexicon and, consequently, how unfortunate for the discussion of metaphor in language is the relative disregard to word-formation processes.
