Although its development has not been based exclusively on orality, but also on written practices, radio constitutes an important domain for its circulation, where spontaneous and highly interactive linguistic practices are manifested. This study aims to describe and analyze the multifunctional behavior of the discourse markers adesso, anca, cossì, giusto, lora, nò, and si, originally adverbial and adjectival forms in radio-broadcast Talian, from the perspective of the North American Functionalist approach, with particular attention to processes of contact-induced grammaticalization resulting from language contact between Talian and Brazilian Portuguese. The study is based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a corpus consisting of radio programs broadcast in Talian. The results indicate that the recurrence of certain discourse markers is associated with the expansion of their pragmatic-discursive functions, revealing patterns of multifunctionality. Of the 209 tokens identified, lora/alora is the most frequent marker, followed by si and nò, whereas giusto and cossì display significant productivity in the textual and interactional organization of discourse. The findings reveal a predominance of the interpersonal domain, with nò, si, and cossì functioning mainly in interpersonal negotiation, followed by the textual domain, in which discourse markers such as lora/alora and giusto contribute to discourse organization. The ideational domain, represented by anca and adesso/desso, exhibits lower productivity. These patterns point to processes that may be described as contact-induced grammaticalization resulting from the influence of Brazilian Portuguese, the majority language, whose increasing presence in the repertoires of Italian- descendant communities exerts continuous and progressive pressure on Talian. Such processes are fostered by the public, mediated, and partially monitored nature of radio orality, which combines planned or semi-scripted segments with moments of greater interactional openness, where the effects of language contact on the functional behavior of the analyzed items become more apparent. The data suggest that Talian constitutes a dynamic and emerging linguistic system, shaped by language use and contact, with radio serving as a potentially central space for the circulation, diffusion, and stabilization of innovative linguistic practices Publisher: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Type: Tese 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z https://rd.uffs.edu.br/handle/prefix/9496 Title: Dança e educação estética: coreografia de uma vida revista em perspectiva de formação e autoformação Author: Mendes, Jacqueline First advisor: Bagnara, Ivan Carlos Abstract: Dance has accompanied humanity throughout its history, serving as a language that connects human beings to their deepest emotions, promoting movement, transformation, and meaningful experiences for those who engage with it. Starting from this understanding and articulating this premise with dance education, this study focuses on the training and self-training processes of dance teachers, considering the possible paths that can be taken in building an education geared towards sensitivity, which goes beyond the prism of technical-instrumental training or the mere reproduction of preestablished patterns. Within this scope, the research has the general objective of understanding how experiential knowledge can contribute to the improvement of educational processes that focus on teaching dance from the perspective of aesthetic education. Thus, we intend here to value the teaching knowledge produced in everyday life, recognizing it as legitimate and significant for teacher training and work, especially when it is influenced by aesthetic and bodily experience. This is a qualitative research study, with an autoethnographic approach, which takes the researcher's experience as a field of investigation. The data were produced through the writing of pedagogical letters, which were subsequently analyzed using hermeneutics, seeking to understand the meanings attributed to formative experiences, experiential knowledge, and educational practices in dance. The research demonstrated that experiential knowledge plays a central role in enhancing educational processes in dance when guided by the perspective of aesthetic education. We found that the connection between initial training, continuing education, and critical analysis of one's own practice fostered a shift from a purely technical logic to a teaching approach that understands dance instruction as a sensitive, ethical, and creative experience. We have shown that attitudes such as attentive listening, dialogue, valuing expressiveness, and the ability to learn from everyday challenges constitute an essential practical-reflective repertoire for professional performance. Furthermore, the research highlighted that aesthetic education broadens the meaning of pedagogical practice by recognizing the body, sensitivity, and experience as fundamental formative dimensions, reaffirming dance as a language capable of producing knowledge, strengthening bonds, and contributing to the integral formation of critical, sensitive individuals aware of their place in the world. Thus, we conclude that dance constitutes a powerful formative field for reinventing pedagogical practices and ways of teaching, learning, and existing in education.

In these communities, although German is no longer the exclusive language of communication, it remains present in diverse and dynamic social practices, reflecting both the persistence of tradition and adaptation to new sociolinguistic realities. The study is guided by the following research question: how do speakers maintain, use, and perceive the German language in contact with Portuguese? The main objective is to research the vitality of spoken German based on the perceptions of its speakers. To achieve this goal, the study aims to: a) verify how speakers name the languages they speak; b) analyze the use of spoken German in contact with Portuguese across the four research sites — ITA/SJO, MON, PAL, and SCA — considering the diagerational, diastratic, diasexual, and religious dimensions; c) describe speakers’ perceptions and beliefs regarding spoken German in their communities; and d) identify actions aimed at maintaining the German language in the investigated localities. This sociolinguistic study is grounded in the assumptions of Pluridimensional and Relational Dialectology (Thun, 1998, 2005). Data were collected through participant observation and 32 interviews conducted in German with speakers selected according to diatopic, diastratic, diagerational, diasexual, and religious dimensions. Documentary sources and metalinguistic comments were also considered, encompassing the metareferential dimension. The results indicate that the majority language is predominantly referred to as Brasilionisch, whereas the minority language is identified as Deitsch and Deutsch, terms mainly associated with Catholic and Lutheran speakers, respectively. Regarding language use, the findings reveal greater use of German among younger speakers and among less educated participants, especially in contexts such as local government offices and commerce. Greater linguistic vitality was also observed in ITA/SJO and SCA, where Catholic speakers were interviewed. Concerning language perceptions, German is regarded as a prestigious language; however, many speakers point to its ongoing replacement by Portuguese. Only one of the investigated locations, São João do Oeste, currently presents institutional language policies aimed at maintaining German, such as language co-officialization and its inclusion in the school curriculum.

Por lo tanto, este trabajo se propone realizar una lectura reflexiva de siete cuentos presentes em el livro O vampiro de Curitiba (2013 [1965]): “Incidente na loja”; “A noite da paixão”; “O vampiro de Curitiba”; “Debaixo da ponte preta”; “Encontro com Elisa”; “As uvas” y “Visita à professora” de Dalton Trevisan a la luz de los conceptos de carnavalización y grotesco desarrollados por el teórico ruso Mikhail Bakhtin (1999 [1965]). La relevancia del estudio reside en la singularidad de la escritura de Trevisan. El escritor eterniza Curitiba con un lenguaje único, impactante y conciso. Fragmenta, reincide y reduce a lo esencial historias que necesitan ser contadas. Expone temas que la sociedad busca enmascarar, las violencias que intenta naturalizar. Con el objetivo de identificar el lenguaje vampiro en Trevisan (2013 [1965]), buscamos comprender la movilización de los arquetipos del vampiro y de Eva, basados en los estudios de Jung (1964) y exponemos las voces del discurso religioso presentes en los cuentos leídos. Así, la literatura moviliza los inconscientes colectivos para exponer los discursos omitidos y los deja al descubierto, poniendolos en evidencia. El “héroe”, Nelsinho, no es el vampiro de la literatura gótica moderna, el ser culto y seductor. Es agresor y víctima, es depredador y presa; se apropia y es apropiado por los discursos que moviliza en sus palabras y acciones. Uno de los más abundantes, encontrado en su texto, es el discurso religioso: las Evas, las “tentadoras”, provocan el lado animal del vampiro que despedaza la narrativa. Nelsinho rebaja la figura divina, Dios y Cristo, a sus meros confidentes, los reduce a su altura, estos que perdonan al “pobre cristiano” que es inducido a acciones tan execrables. La ciudad ficcional de Curitiba ocupa un papel central en la construcción de la obra de Trevisan: fría, impersonal y represiva, margina aún más a los personajes, quienes, a su vez, necesitan de la voz narrativa para traer a la superficie la denuncia, rebajando lo sublime y exaltando lo grotesco. Desde el punto de vista metodológico, en este estudio seleccionamos como corpus siete cuentos de la obra en los que se presentan los conceptos bakthinianos de grotesco y carnavalización, en los que se movilizan los arquetipos del vampiro y de Eva, así como el discurso religioso. En la obra de Trevisan el rebajamiento se vive en los temas, en las inquietudes y en el lenguaje de los personajes. De este modo, proponemos que el lenguaje de Trevisan, en esta obra, es un lenguaje vampira. Publisher: Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul Type: Dissertação 2026-01-01T00:00:00Z
