Ad hominem argument, address forms and political protest resumo: A descortesia linguística é um fenómeno discursivo que deve ser analisado no contexto e no género discursivo em que ocorre. Decorre da inadequação do ato de fala do locutor, tendo em conta normas sociodiscursivas. Mas faz parte do protesto político, sendo socialmente tolerada nesse contexto. Pretende-se analisar a construção discursiva da descortesia no espaço público em Portugal, tendo em conta os protestos em manifestações políticas e nas redes sociais; relacionar a descortesia com os traços dos géneros discursivos em causa; identificar argumentos ad hominem com base nas formas de tratamento. O corpus é constituído por enunciados descorteses produzidos no espaço público, em cartazes e palavras de ordem de manifestações ou nas redes sociais. abstract: Linguistic impoliteness is a discursive phenomenon that must be analyzed in the context and discursive genre in which it occurs. It follows from the inadequacy of the speech act, taking into account sociodiscursive norms. However, it is part of the political protest and it is socially accepted in this context. The aim is to analyze the discursive construction of impoliteness in public space in Portugal, taking into account political street protests and social networks, to relate impoliteness and discursive genres parameters and to identify ad hominem arguments based on address forms. The corpus consists of impolite statements in Portuguese public space, in posters and slogans in street protests and in social networks. palavras-chave: descortesia; argumentação ad hominem; formas de tratamento; manifestações políticas; redes sociais.

Resumo Com vista a compreender o papel da imprensa periódica durante a ditadura do Estado Novo no recorte e na defesa de uma identidade da mulher portuguesa, no presente estudo analisa-se, numa perspetiva linguístico-discursiva, a represen-tação da mulher num corpus de «Página(s) Feminina(s)» e rubricas de autoria femi-nina nas revistas Mundo Gráfico, A Esfera e Portugal Colonial. Como revistas do regime, as publicações promoviam um Portugal e uma mulher idealizados. A presença e participação da Mulher na imprensa cingia-se prototipicamente a rubricas de entretenimento e/ou aconselhamento, difusoras da propaganda do Estado e alheadas do cenário sociopolítico de então, em que, por ausência, está implícita essa segregação. Palavras-chave: Representação da Mulher, identidade, ditadura, imprensa, discurso, propaganda.

Abstract: The graphic novel, with a strong syncretism with respect to genre, has become nowadays a form of textuality resulting from more or less complex relationships between iconic signs and verbal signs, with iteratively revisited questions about its belonging especially to literature, considering, on the one hand, the role played by a non-verbal language and, on the other hand, its presumed inscription in mass culture, as regards its reception.
It is within this framework summarily traced that we consider two axes of reflection: what about a presence of Portuguese graphic novels? What linguistic and cultural issues can be exploited in FL class? The corpus is composed of two graphic novels, Arte suprema and Rei byA. J. Gonçalves and R. Zink.
Key words: graphic novel, Portuguese, FL class.

Taking into account the theoretical assumptions that praise the description of the use of the system and not only of the system in abstract, we will defend the need for a grammar of uses for European Portuguese. Such a description implies dealing with the complexity, the gradualness of linguistic phenomena, the compulsory contextualization of discourses, both in discursive genres and in their enunciative circumstances. This description testifies that regularities also exist in use and there should not be an excessive cut between describing the language and describing the use of language. Unlike what happens in Brazilian Portuguese, in European Portuguese there are few researches that focus on these uses, and even less researches that deal with oral productions, namely interactional and informal, based on corpora. It is necessary to pay more attention to the uses, above all to the description of the functioning of the language as discourse updated in certain discursive genres, as the informal conversation. These studies are crucial both for the teaching of Portuguese as a foreign language and as a mother tongue, since describing only the system, the standard variety, generally written, is scientifically reductive and ineffective from the point of view of teaching. But descriptions of uses are also essential for translation studies or contrastive analyzes of both different languages and different varieties of Portuguese. Starting from small research experiences that take place with university students, we propose a research route with corpora of familiar conversations, which try to account for the unguarded oral uses of the language, in an interaction context. Finally, two examples of this working plan will be advanced: that of the presentational marker "é assim" and that of the vague nominal quantifiers, with a function of attenuation and diminution of the speaker's enunciative responsibility, "Um bocado = a bit" and "Um bocadinho = a little." We will conclude by showing how the corpora analysis of informal conversations even allows us to better understand some characteristics of literary texts.

Presentative markers in informal interactions in Europeen Portuguese. In European Portuguese, the presentative makers are not restricted to eis, which is found only in spoken political discourse or in formal written discourse. In informal oral conversations, if one would want to translate the Italian ecco and the French voici / voilà, one would use the Portuguese discursive marker é assim. The deictic origin might explain the pragmatic and discursive value of é assim: a topic introducer and a focal point. Other functions of é assim include interaction values typical of discursive markers: guiding the interlocutor to discourse sequences whose importance the speaker wishes to emphasize, reinforcement of assertive speech acts. In other contexts, this presentative marker invites the interlocutor to imagine a script so as to better understand the communicative intention of the speaker and jointly build the meaning. Despite its diverse origins, presentative markers function in a similar fashion in different Romance languages (Zafiu 2015b). We have analyzed occurrences of é assim in several oral corpora of informal conversations in European Portuguese, with the aim of identifying different structures in which this presentative marker appears and its corresponding values.

ABSTRACT. Spoken language training in Portuguese as a Foreign Language
class: an informal conversation experience at level A. The starting point of this paper are difficulties in listening in Portuguese as a Foreign/Second Language classes, especially at beginner levels. Using previous research carried out at the MA in Portuguese as Second/ Foreign Language at University of Oporto, we identified some barriers in listening. Difficulties stem either from characteristics of informal conversation or from particularities of European Portuguese. We selected transcribed informal conversations, whose topic is adequate to A level classes. Then we isolated some possible obstacles in understanding informal
conversations that we consider feasible for this level of proficiency. To test the hypotheses formulated, a non-real but plausible conversation was produced, using some of the structures taken from the transcriptions of the oral corpus.
Keywords: Portuguese as a foreign language; informal oral conversation; authentic materials; plausible materials; oral comprehension; oral interaction.

ABSTRACT. Values of ainda [still] in Portuguese and their equivalents in Spanish. In this paper we analyse the synchronic and diachronic usages of the Portuguese ainda in Portuguese dictionaries, and in Davis & Ferreira corpus. We restrict our research to the non-temporal uses: the concessive, the additive - the discourse sequencing with increasing gradual value - and the presuppositional focalizer. We present the Spanish correspondences, using the bilingual Hispano- Portuguese lexicography, and we analyse the differences. The Portuguese ainda has several equivalents in Spanish: the concessive aun, and an additive connector, similar to también or asimismo. To confirm the acceptability of the correspondences of ainda in Portuguese-Spanish lexicographic materials, we analyze different translation’s solutions in Literary texts.

ABSTRACT. ‘Lá’, mitigation marker in informal interactions in European Portuguese. Lá is a deictic locative adverb that refers to a space far from the speaker and the hearer, usually outside both field of vision. Based on an enunciative-pragmatic approach we analyse, in informal conversations (corpus: Perfil sociolinguístico da fala bracarense and C-ORAL-ROM), occurrences of a pragmatic usage of ‘lá’ as linguistic attenuation, leaving aside other values. In what concerns attenuation of the speaker, we analyse the effect of 'lá' in assertive acts: its contribution to either epistemic or evaluative modality. With respect to attenuation of speaker-listener relationship, we analyse the pragmatic value of ‘lá’ in directive and expressive acts.

ABSTRACT. Language Learning Strategies and Oral Performance: A Case Study. This article presents the results of a quantitative analysis on the link between (1) the use of language learning strategies (LLS) and (2) the oral performance among beginner students of the Portuguese for Foreigners Course at University of Porto, in the 2014-2015 academic year. The findings are: there is a positive correlation, but not significant, between (1) and (2), and students with the best results in the oral assessment have higher means in the LLS use, use more LLS in high frequency level and over-perform on the use of specific LLS.

O discurso publicitário ao serviço da construção da identidade no Estado Novo: o caso de Mundo Gráfico resumo: O discurso publicitário é simultaneamente um reflexo do contexto em que é produzido e um agente de mudança sobre o mesmo. No presente estudo, analisamos o discurso publicitário na revista Mundo Gráfico com o propósito de identificar alguns aspetos da identidade portuguesa no tempo do Estado Novo, nomeadamente da identidade nacional e da identidade individual, do homem e da mulher portugueses de então. Simultaneamente, foi nosso propósito identificar as es-tratégias discursivas envolvidas na construção destas identidades, em particular as estratégias de natureza enunciativo-pragmática, tais como a identificação das vozes enunciativas em diálogo nos anúncios. Ainda, olhamos para os anúncios como manifestações textuais de um género, identifi-cando sumariamente algumas das suas características. abstract: Advertising discourse is both a reflection of the context in which it is produced and an agent of change upon it. In the present study, we analysed the advertisements in the magazine Mundo Gráfico with the purpose of identifying some aspects of the Portuguese identity of the regime Estado Novo, namely the national identity and the individual identity, of the Portuguese man and woman of that time. Simultaneously, it was our purpose to identify the discursive strategies involved in the construction of these identities, in particular strategies of an enunciative-pragmatic nature, such as the identification of the enunciative voices in dialogue in the advertisements. Still, we looked at ads as textual manifestations of a genre, briefly identifying some of their characteristics.

The purpose of this study was to explore the advantages of understanding linguistic phenomena of colloquial forms expressed and registered in beginner-level students of Portuguese as a Foreign Language. Recorded conversations between native speakers (NSs) of European Portuguese (PEC) and non-native speakers (NNSs) of the A1.2 level were analysed to 1) verify the presence of vague language (VL) and evaluate its significance; 2) compare its use between NSs and NNSs; 3) determine if its use compromises communication; and 4) evaluate factors that influence its use. This study was designed to verify our hypothesis without claim to general validity.

Il nucleo del presente volume, nelle diverse aree geografiche prese in esame, è caratteriz-zato dall'ascesa, dal consolidamento e dal declino dei regimi totalitari, sullo sfondo del conflitto mondiale. In tale contesto, la stampa si configura come strumento di autolegit-timazione, rimedio ad una crisi di valori o promessa di un futuro glorioso a servizio del potere. Il discorso giornalistico dà così voce alla propaganda di stato, diventando aper-tamente persuasivo. Struttura informativa, lingua e retorica, titoli, immagini e dida-scalie, oltre che i contenuti ideologicamente marcati, vengono modulati in funzione della " seduzione " del recettore, forgiando un intreccio indivisibile, in cui il potere totalitario persegue un unico obiettivo: rafforzare, confermare o costruire una nazione nuova o, piuttosto, una nuova identità nazionale. Con l'obiettivo di recuperare e interpretare una parte della nostra identità, ognuno dei contributi offre uno sguardo a uno degli aspetti della stampa ideologicamente marcata degli anni '40, a tutte quelle tipologie testuali (immagini, articoli politici e letterari, annunci pubblicitari, necrologie, prosa narrativa e poesia) che vengono a costituire un macrotesto, un discorso populista e di propaganda in cui si esaltano le virtù dei regimi e si esacerbano le qualità negative e la pericolosità del " male ". Membro del gruppo che coordina il Network Internazionale MEMITÀ, Carla Presti-giacomo è professore associato di lingua e traduzione spagnola dell'Università di Paler-mo, dove tiene corsi di lingua, traduzione e analisi del discorso. La sua attività scientifi-ca si è incentrata sull'analisi del discorso, con particolare attenzione all'argomentazi-one e alla manipolazione. Ha pubblicato alcuni lavori sulle strategie persuasive nel discorso pubblicitario, sul ruolo della (s)cortesia strategica nel discorso argomentativo 'unidirezionale' e sulla manifestazione discorsiva dell'identità del locutore nelle colu-mnas de autor.

At present, when considering models for initial teachers training the capacity to reflect on different aspects of teaching is valued. The efficiency of the approaches used to develop this capacity in the students is an open question. Knowledge about the results of the tools used in initial teachers training may be enhanced by the analysis of one of the texts types where the reflexion is transcribed, the classroom observation report. The section of the classroom observation report centred in the critical comment is the object of study. Hence, the analysis looks at the linguistic and pragmatics description of the utterances where the critical reflection takes form. The results show a discursive organisation with a strong investment in movements of justification/explanation and repair, accordingly to the principles of courtesy/politeness in speech (Fonseca 1996), and in strategies of attenuation commonly present in the utterances of the discursive segment under analysis (Briz 2007), namely the assertive and appreciative ones. Data is relevant for the regulation of formation processes leading to the development of critical thinking and reflection about classroom practice for future teachers.

Due to the necessity to build the ‘rhetoric of objectivity’, the scientific ethos is normally erased from the surface of the discourse. This process of erasure is obtained through a series of linguistic methods that are widely studied in research on the matter. Nonetheless, this convention of the impersonal reporting, strongly pervasive as a marker of the scientific genre, generates several relevant questions for the construction of the discourse of Science, such as the question of the ‘enunciative responsibility’ (Marques, 2013). Based on the analysis of a corpus of Masters Reports in Applied Linguistics – Language Teaching - presented between 2009 and 2014 in FLUP, this work aims at discussing whereas the non-positioning of the enunciator in the masters dissertations, through the use of epistemic modalizators, is a means of building the “humble” and mitigated scientific ethos or whereas it is a means of disclaiming responsibility for the scientific construction on the part of the investigators. Also, in a discourse that is typically impersonal, the work also aims at accounting for the formal traces of the enunciator in elements of evaluative modalization.

ORAL TEXTS: ANALYSIS OF INFORMAL CONVERSATION AND THE TEACHING OF PORTUGUESE AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Abstract: We advocate the training of listening comprehension of students of Portuguese as a Foreign Language, using authentic oral documents, particu- larly real spontaneous oral conversations. In addition to the detailed analysis of this kind of document and their contexts, we anticipate the finding of linguis- tic elements that allow a better understanding of the meaning and a correct use of said elements during the production of the same kind of discursive texts. This is exemplified, though briefly, with excerpt from a recording transcription of an informal conversation.

The analysis of authentic texts increases formal knowledge of its discursive configuration and of its social and communicative circulation, enabling a better pragmatic effectiveness. The report, as a genre, has a high social value, as its circulation is constant in vari- ous situations of socio-communicative importance. It is a required as a garantee of the evaluation and the improvement of organizational and functional operation in (almost) every area. Therefore, this textual genre is commonly thought of as having an objective nature. However, a more detailed
analysis of reports from certain professional areas reveals the subjective nature of this kind of text. The goal of this study is to contribute to the description of the discursive configuration of this genre, through text analysis, considering two types of indicators: (i) linguistics marks of discourse modali- zation; (ii) the enunciative position of the writer. The corpus is formed by reports written by trainers in continuous education courses for teachers, in 2011, in a Training Center for teachers. This analy- sis will contribute both to the linguistic description of the reports and as evaluative speech and the indication of concrete elements for its effective construction.

The aim of this paper is to present how, in a group of seven works of narra- tive fiction, considered credible when it comes to the realism of the colloquial language used, especially in the discourses of the characters, some characteristic of formal and in- formal discourses are literarily worked. The research starts with the survey of ten particu- lar oral features, collected in a small corpus under construction, built by orthographic tran- scriptions of informal oral productions, and the search for homologue phenomena in a group of oralizing Portuguese narratives. We conclude (1) that more works of pragmatic linguis- tics description of the oral discourse in European Portuguese are needed; (2) that even the narratives that are aiming for plausibility and introduce several oralization instructions to produce a “real effect” are, for reasons of readability, far from the characteristics of a real oral discourse, which they cannot assume due to their nature. What they do is to recreate and stylize some of the outstanding features of that discourse that they intend to mimic.

Citation is not only a linguistic activity but also of human’s culturals achievements in general. Multi-semiotics citation, although different from the linguistic quote includes like this one several degrees of explicitude. Its occurrence may be considered on a continuum in a scale that goes from the most literal you locate to the most discreet and diverted. The mentioning speech reuses materials either verbal or semiotic in a more or less explicit way, in terms of the image and in linguistic terms. Discourse - advertising, press titles, literary - operates at full when the addressee co-producer is aware of reused materials and of the issues that emerge from this dialogical reuse.

Abstract:
In the last novels of Camilo Castelo Branco, the treatment of the characters’ reported speech is similar to the model followed by Eça de Queirós. Although in the parodic novels there seems to be a parody to the way Eça de Queirós handles this issue, an alteration is gradually undertaken, so that the treatment of reported speech becomes a genuine effort, the assumed and non-parodic way of conveying the characters’ words and inner thoughts. The confrontation between the beginning of the first version of A Brasileira de Prazins, published in the magazine A Arte (1879), and the book (1882) leads to the conclusion that Camilo’s writing has progressively absorbed several realistic stylistic features.

Not only do they facilitate the study of textual and communicative aspects such as the syntactic and semantic, but also lexical elements. Furthermore, proverbs transmit and express cultural content. There is often a very close connection, with regards to meaning and the contexts of use, between proverbs used in different languages, even when there we cannot account for the existence of strong historical ties among their speakers. Consequently, they are often used in the organization of didactic sequences oriented towards lexical development.
This article presents a didactic experience of teaching of Portuguese as a
Foreign Language through a method of learning based on projects that use
the proverb as a structuring element. Combining the multiple pedagogical didactic potential of the proverb and the methodology of project-based
learning allowed for the simultaneous construction of knowledge and
the creation of signifi cant cultural objects linked to the students’ social
environment.
