Using this contrastive data, we first examine the cases where there is correspondence between faire and fazer; then we focus on the equivalents t...

While humour and wordplay are among the most intensively studied problems in the field of translation studies, they have been almost completely ignored in machine translation. This is partly because most AI-based translation tools require a quality and quantity of training data (e.g., parallel corpora) that has historically been lacking for humour...

Although citizens agree on the importance of objective scientific information, yet they tend to avoid scientific literature due to access restrictions, its complex language or their lack of prior background knowledge. Instead, they rely on shallow information on the web or social media often published for commercial or political incentives rather t...

La présente étude compare les particularités syntaxiques et sémantiques des constructions causatives analytiques verbales en faire et en fazer, sur la base d’un corpus bilingue que nous examinons dans le sens du texte original (le français) vers la traduction (le portugais). A partir de ces données contrastives, nous verrons que le portugais est un...

The digital age plays a key role in learning, helping to discover new ways of acquiring, building and disseminating knowledge. One of the most attractive features of this new digitally-oriented learning lies in the fact that students are actively involved in their learning process. In this paper, we discuss the methodology of a teaching experiment,...

L’étude dont il est question ici vise précisément à souligner l’impact significatif que la linguistique de corpus peut avoir sur la recherche et l’enseignement dans les domaines touchant à l’étude du langage et à la traduction (Williams, 2005). Nous entendons ici proposer une réflexion sur l’utilité d’un corpus multilingue (tel que le corpus Per-Fi...

O presente volume da revista H2D, subordinado à temática Novas práticas no ensino em tempos de pandemia: desafios e soluções em ambiente digital, teve como objetivo dar voz aos professores que tiveram, pelo mundo fora, de se adaptar a novas modalidades de ensino sem disporem necessariamente dos instrumentos necessários para transitar, num tão curto...

This paper focuses on intervention effects obtained by embedding a topic constituent (either a displaced topic or a clitic left−dislocated topic) within the domain of wh−movement. We present the results of two acceptability judgment tests carried out in European Portuguese (EP), which indicate that only a subset of the constructions in which a topi...

This work is focused on the use of Cheat Sheets and Padlet as a new learning tool. In fact, Cheat Sheets are well-known in students´ community but not for the well-behaved reasons. But, if we extract the practical aspect of Cheat Sheets, we highlight “While doing it, I learn”. And this is the key issue of this study: is Cheat Sheets to promote lear...

Over the last few years, the number of parallel resources to natural language processing has been increasing, especially for other languages than Portuguese. Thanks to the entry of Portugal into the EU, the Europarl (Koehn, 2005) and the JRC-Acquis (Steinberger et al., 2006) corpora became a reference in the legal field, which include the Portugues...

Mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, e-readers, etc.) have come to be used as tools for mobile learning. Several studies support the integration of such technological devices with learning, particularly with language learning. In this paper, we wish to present an Android app designed for the teaching and learning of Portuguese as a foreign languag...

In this paper, we propose an exploratory study about the usefulness of multilingual corpora in areas related to the study of language, translation and, in particular, of simultaneous interpreting. After a brief overview of corpus-based interpreting studies as well as of some existing electronic interpreting corpora, we move on to describe the compi...

This chapter introduces the Per-Fide corpus, a multilingual parallel collection that encompasses six languages: English, Russian, French, Italian, German and Spanish. The corpus is bidirectional, with Portuguese as the pivot language (it is always the search or target language). The chapter details the various stages involved in the preparation of...

This paper is intended to establish a space for reflection on the usefulness of a monolingual corpus in fields concerning the study of language, using for that purpose a concrete example, i.e. that of se faire+Vinf constructions. Based on a literary and journalistic corpus, which we queried to determine the types of verbs more often selected by se...

If the concepts of theme and rheme, defined as «the subject you say something about»/ «what you say about it», seem to fit perfectly within the analysis of a state-ment as simple as (i) mon père a une moto hyper-rapide, they meet dificulties as soon as they come across more complex statements, such as (ii) moi, mon père, il a une moto hyper-rapide....
