Language, Context, and Text: Aspects of Language in A Social-Semiotic Perspective
Abstract
This study deals with the linguistic study of texts as a way of understanding how language functions in its immensely varied range of social contexts. The authors adopt a functional approach to language, in which the different registers or functional varieties of a language are explained by reference to the different contexts in which they occur. Their analysis reveals how, on the one hand, each text is unique, while on the other, the way a text is organized and the kinds of coherence it displays are closely related to the place and the value that it has in its social and cultural environment.
... What remains is the writer's intention (p.5). Halliday and Hasan (1989) argue that language, similar to human culture, is a system of meaning. Due to this similarity, language is described as a social-semiotic system (p. ...
... One main feature of a wellformed text is coherence that contributes to the hanging together of the text. As suggested by Halliday and Hasan (1989), a text is said to be coherent when what was said before prepares the reader to what is said next (p. 32). ...
... These linguistic resources also highlight the semantic relations among parts of the text, so each part provides the suitable context for another. The semantic categories proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1989) When the Motor Cars Act wa before the House it was suggested that these authorities should b given the right to mak representations to the centra authorities and that right wa conceded (a comma is missing afte authorities) Some languages witness variation in the use of letters with dots. For example, Ottoman alphabet is divided into heavy letters ح( ، خ ص، ض، ط، ظ، ع، غ، )ق، and the rest are all light letters. ...
... Nurani (2014) identified register as one of the many varieties in use. Halliday (1989) further added to explain register in simple terms as what one speaks at specific time, it depends on what one does, as well overall nature involved in performing one activity. It is register that is referred to arranging word series to form phrases that have been associated to particular contextual variations in terms of defining field, the discourse through mode and tenor (Halliday & Hasan, 1989). ...

... It is register that is referred to arranging word series to form phrases that have been associated to particular contextual variations in terms of defining field, the discourse through mode and tenor (Halliday & Hasan, 1989). Term of register tends to refer contextualized choice of grammar and lexis that have been made and depends on speakers to validate situation, define participants of events and part of lingual code to perform a function through discourse (Halliday 1989). Halliday defined two key types in order to explain change in lingual codes. ...
Study focused to investigate the use of specific lexical items to comment on sports in social media applications. For this, the application of Facebook was taken to observe comments of Pakistani cricket supporters. The study is designed to first identify, then discuss actual and situational meanings of semantic structures that have been solely employed for cricket matches. It was possible with the adoption of the model of analyzing the semantics of lexis given by Geeraert's (2009). The project is designed on descriptive (survey). Corpus from the commentary section on Facebook was taken that comprised 4 chats on Facebook and (24) chats on sub-pages of Facebook. They were all coded from 1-24 as (C1 to C-24). The following chats have been carefully extracted to fulfill the purpose of the study in the platform groups of Facebook. They were visualized under principles to find the semantics of lexis through the proposed model (2009) of Geeraert. The findings of the project revealed that Pakistani supporters of Cricket have employed peculiar words and structures that verified specific interactions in the sports domain. Following phrases and words were possible to get interpreted with defined context. This has been concluded in the present study that chats on the Facebook application by Pakistani supporters of cricket have used the majority of sentences that were aligned to sports' register and could only be understood as well employed by fans of cricket. This contribution tends to suggest in the end that following the framework of the following study, many studies on the relationship of sports with the use of language can be presented by research scholars in the future from different parts of the World with the employment of theory on the register of language by Halliday (1978).
... Dell Hymes seorang pioneer dalam kajian bagaimana bahasa dipergunakan dalam tindak komunikasi mengatakan bahwa perilaku berbahasa diatur oleh konteks (Hymes, 1974), yaitu faktor sosial, kultural dan situaiional yang berkontribusi pada sikap penutur dan pendengar dalam tindakan berkomunikasi. Oleh Michael Halliday pakar semisis berkebangsaan Australia, konteks selanjutnya dierdalam menjadi beberapa lapisan: kultural, situasional, dan tekstual (Halliday, 1994). Hymes (1974) melalui karyanya yang monumental dalam kajian sosiolinguistik memperkenalkan hubungan antara konteks dan teks dalam sebuah akronim yang disebut SPEAKING (setting, participant, end, act, keying, instrumentality, norm of interaction and interpretation, dan genre). ...
... Terakhir, genre 'ragam bahasa dan wacana' menyangkut jenis wacana yang dilibati, struktur wacana, dan ragam bahasa yang sesuai untuk kegiatan komunikasi tersebut. Halliday (1994) meringkas faktor-faktor kedalam konteks kultural, situational dan tekstual. Pertama, perilaku partisipan dalam berkomunikasi dipengaruhi oleh konteks budaya dimana kegiatan berkomunikasi dilakukan. ...
... Dalam konteks budaya Indonesia, berbicara dengan teman sebaya atau lebih tua (participant) pada ranah publik atau ranah pribadi (setting) dengan memakai alat komunikasi atau tidak (instrumentality) membutuhkan pilihan ragam bahasa (keying, genre) dan perilaku berkomunikasi (act, norm of interaction) berbeda. Norma ini diatur oleh etika moral masyarakat dan Halliday (1994) menyebutnya the context of culture (konteks budaya) dan pesan komunikasi dimaknai dari sudut pandang ideologi kultural masyarakat penutur. Akan tetapi, makna juga dapat dibangun secara bersama oleh partisipan selama kegiatan berkomunikasi atau dalam kegitan-kegiatan komunikasi lain sepanjang riwayat interaksi antara partisipan. ...
Berita Hoax menjadi wacana yang sensitif dalam dunia politik apalagi jika salah satu pihak menuduh yang lainnya menyebarkan hoax dan berbuntut panjang sampai ke ranah hukum. Bagi netizen milenial seperti siswa SMA/MA/SMK, berselancar di dunia maya bukan masalah bagi mereka, tetapi membedakan berita hoaks dari berita sebenarnya membutuhkan keterampilan menganalisis wacana secara rinci. Namun, keterampilan berbahasa ini belum diajarkan di tingkat sekolah menengah sehingga banyak pesakitan terangkut berita hoaks kebanyakan berasal dari netizen dari kelompok umur milenial. Kegiatan pengabdian ini sengaja menyasar kelompok umur milenial dan melatih mereka mengidentifikasi fungsi sosial, struktur generik, dan fitur-fitur kebahasaan yang menjadi petanda berita hoaks dengan harapan agar mereka memiliki kemampuan mengidentifikasi jenis dan ciri-ciri berita hoaks dan menghindarkan diri dari menyebarkannya. Peserta direkrut dari SMA/MA/SMK di Kota Mataram atas rekomendasi kepala sekolah masing-masing dan, karena pandemic Covid19, selanjutnya peserta tersebut direkrut melalui seorang koordinator peserta. Sebanyak 30 siswa mengikuti kegiatan ini yang dilaksanakan melalui web meeting selama sehari pada tanggal 7 Nopember 2020. Kegatan bersifat penyuluhan dan pelatihan mengidentifikasi berita-berita hoaks. Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa pada fungsi sosial (tujuan komunikasi), struktur generik, dan ciri-ciri tekstual berbagai jenis hoaks tetapi juga meningkatkan rasa percaya diri siswa mengidentifikasi berita-berita hoaks. Secara umum,peserta menguasai materi pelatihan dan penyuluhan dan berharap agar pelatihan tersebut berkelanjutan ke tingkat yang lebih tinggi lagi.
... It was unearthed through social semiotics. From the perspective of social semiotics, language is understood as a conception of ideology (Halliday & Hasan, 1989). The discourse of religious moderation through social media is the object of study. ...
... The semiotic concept implies the study of signs and social, referring to Ferdinand de Saussure, the science of symbols, sign systems, and meanings. For Halliday and Hasan, there are two layers of social semiotic analysis: text and contexts of the situation (Halliday & Hasan, 1989). First, Text is understood as meaning referring to words and sentences, commonly called semantic units. ...
This article focuses on mediating da'wah content through YouTube, packaged in the Islamic concept of wasathiyah. The rampant phenomenon of da'wah content leads to radicals & fundamentals, and even terror on social media causes public unrest. The public space is a space for equality, the emergence of discussions of public issues, and turning public activities and points into inclusive cultural commodities. This study uses a qualitative research method through social semiotic analysis’ Halliday of the object of research on the Jedanulis (based on specific content YouTube) and content analysis of the audience's comments to determine the behavior of users using Netlytic. This is done to determine the audience’s response (as a social media user) to the communicator Husain Jafar Alhadar. The representation of wasathiyah da'wah concludes with a point, which is a source. Ustaz is an actor who conveys divine teachings and promotes a positive image of Islam through inclusive practice in the public sphere. What they get as a message becomes a mirror for the listener. Ustaz is the message itself. Whether faith is good or bad is determined mainly by them. That Ustaz, including Ulama, is not mocking the ummah but inviting the ummah.
... Plus spécifiquement, la thèse examine les réponses à deux questionnaires : le premier d'autoévaluation concernant la compétence « phraséologique » ; le deuxième dédié aux exercices sur la phraséologie 1 . Comme nous le verrons dans la section suivante, le premier questionnaire examine la compétence phraséologique sur la base des étapes d'évaluation et d'auto-évaluation de la procédure d'enseignement du FLE en mobilisant plusieurs études (Blanchet et Chardenet, 2011 ;Cavalla et Crozier, 2005 ;Halliday et Hasan, 1985 ;Pinto et El Euch, 2015). ...
... D'une part, nous avons tenté d'isoler la variable « niveau de français », d'autre part, à situer la notion de « contexte » en développant une réflexion sur la diversité culturelle de la population interrogée. Milan, Rome et Palerme : par ce choix, nous avons voulu mettre en relation contexte culturel et contexte socio-situationnel (Halliday et Hasan, 1985) afin de mieux comprendre les réponses que les étudiants donnent au second questionnaire. ...
... The aims of this article are to identify the types of expressive illocutionary act and the context of situation in the movie. This article used theory by Searle (1979) to identify the types of expressive illocutionary act and theory by Halliday and Hasan (1985) to analyze the context of situation. The result of this article showed 22 utterances which are produced by the characters. ...
... This article used descriptive qualitative method and some theories to analyzed the data. First, theory proposed by Searle (1979) to classifying the types of expressive illocutionary act and second theory proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1985) to analyze the context of situation. Formal and informal method used in presenting the data. ...

... GSP is based on the model called Contextual Configuration (CC) (Halliday & Hasan, 1985:56) which helps to make assumptions about the structure of texts. CC suggests that there is a set of values through which the three elements of the context of situation (field, tenor, and mode) are realized in a text. ...
... Following the Hasan"s (1996a) GSP model which is based on the theoretical model of Contextual Configuration (Halliday & Hasan, 1985), each of the discursive features indicated above will be explored. For more clarity on the frequency of the discursive features in the headlines, consult Figure 1. ...
The present study set out to investigate how discourse features contribute to building intertextual relations of news headlines reporting on the same news story. Using the theoretical model of Generic Structure Potential (Hasan, 1996), thirty-nine headlines of online news reporting on the story related to the cropped photo of the Ugandan climate activist Vanessa Nakate, were analysed. The results showed that intertextuality in the headlines is achieved through features that include reference to individuals, reference to country, reference to ethnicity, use of role label, reference to emotion, attention to language, use of evaluative language, reference to agency, reference to event, immediacy, quoting, and alluding. It was also revealed that, while some discourse features co-occurred, others were in a complementary distribution.
... Halliday & Hasan, 1985). In the words of Halliday (1993), "language is the essential condition of knowing, the process by which experience becomes knowledge" (p. ...
This paper outlines the general influence of Halliday’s (1994, 2014) systemic functional linguistics on TESOL curriculum. Halliday’s explanation of language as a social semiotic and language learning as learning to mean has been applied internationally in genre and text- based teaching. The concept of register in systemic functional linguistics describes linguistic variation of texts for the expression of different meanings. SFL studies document teachers’ explicit instruction in the lexicogrammatical construction of text types linked to function and social context. The explicitness informs students’ decision-making for formulation of meanings in different text types. Reference is made to SFL applied in teacher education. There is mention of the relevance of SFL to Australia’s concern with literacy standards in education.
... The authors emphasize the text-context relationship and/or explain the relationship between the language system and its context. The book adopts Halliday's (1994) approach arguing that the language system is a complex network of options that evolved to serve human needs and aspirations. It means that the context of our language usage influences the judgments we make about language systems. ...
The text-based integrated approach, which originated from Halliday's (1978) theory of language as social semiotic, views that people use language to produce meaning. A text, according to Halliday and Hasan (1989), is a semantic unit that can be spoken, written, visual, or multimodal. There are few publications in Asia that explain text-based learning by offering a text-based learning cycle adapted from the
urrent models, together with learning design processes, teaching resources, and assessment rubrics to measure students' text production. To echo this calling, a book entitled Designing English Text-based Instruction with Principled Eclecticism was compiled. As the title says, this book helps students improve their
communication skills by studying a wide range of texts, with teachings that focus on all four language skills (speaking, reading, writing, and listening).
... The gendered stylistic variations in compliment use in the current study have not been previously described in the earlier research, which might be due to the different functions of the compliments that the male and female judges would like to accentuate in the talent competitions on TV. The function of paying compliment is either ideational, i.e., to express cognitive perceptions and judgments, or interpersonal, i.e., to make the addressee feel good (Halliday, 1978;Halliday and Hasan, 1985). In the context of talent competitions, it is hard or even impossible to determine whether the compliments addressed by the judges to redress their criticisms in their evaluations are purely ideational or interpersonal (Johnson and Roen, 1992). ...
This study investigated whether and how the gender of the judges in the TV talent competitions affects the pragmatics of the compliments in their evaluative comments addressed to the contest participants. The explicitness of the compliments, the distribution of positive semantic carriers and intensifiers, the personal focus of the compliments, and the supportive discursive moves in the male and female judges’ complimenting speech events were qualitatively analysed and statistically compared. Results, however, do not support the general belief that women’s complimenting style is more socioemotional than men’s. The function of the compliments that the judges would like to accentuate in the formal institutional setting appears to have a greater impact on their linguistic performances than their gender role. The male and female judges’ complimenting styles seem to be strategic manoeuvres to create their preferred social image in the public media discourse.

En medio de una creciente demanda de obras japonesas traducidas al español y de la ausencia de una teoría integral de la traducción del japonés al español, este artículo pretende abordar la cuestión del constante reto que supone la traducción de las diferentes variedades lingüísticas del japonés. La novela que servirá de ejemplo para ello será Kisetsu no nai machi, publicada en 1964 por el conocido escritor de ficción histórica Yamamoto Sh ū gor ō . A partir de la traducción de tres casos de variedades diafásicas (el habla del borracho), diastráticas (el yamanotekotoba) y diatópicas (un fingido dialecto de Miyagi) presentes en esta obra, se realizará un análisis interlingüístico que permitirá establecer una base teórico-práctica centrada en las interacciones entre el texto y el contexto para lograr mediante distintas estrategias dinámicas una equivalencia de sentido conforme a la intención del autor de la obra literaria.
... Second, language as function. Essentially, language has a social function, called metafunction (Halliday & Hasan, 1989). Halliday introduces a concept called register. ...
Language reflects the environment and culture, and it also represents a dialectic expression between the author and the social condition. The language of the Quran undergoes a dialectic process along with various factors around, by socio-historical (asbāb al-nuzūl) and situational (asbāb al-dhurūf) context. This study aimed to discover the contextual and situational background, referring to the diction, language style, or euphemism of the Quran regarding the relationship of husband and wife. It employed sociolinguistic approach as language was a prominent medium for cultural heritage discovery and apprehension. It found that the Quran exercised the use of adjective, verb, and verb phrase to demonstrate expressive and referential function, and to avoid taboo words. It also pointed out that Arabic society in the pre-Islamic era geographically and culturally lived within an unconducive environment. They enjoyed nomadic lifestyle, unwilling to be bounded by rules. Therefore, the Quran used subtle dictions when it came to the topic of spouse relationship. the Quran employed 18 types of diction in 8 surahs, mainly discussing about: 1) disobeying commands, 2) telling the story of the Muslims’ habits in the past, 3) giving suggestion after enforcing prohibition, and 4) providing explanation about women in nature. The subtle diction was intended to avoid any filthy imagination and lust among the Arabs back then.
... Linguists treat discourse as the same with text. Halliday (1989); Van Dijk (1985), treat discourse as a text, it is not only written language or written document but also includes oral language. Based on the Halliday's and Dijk's views, the term of bharata in the phrase of bharata patapelena 'the four-bharata'is a discourse. ...
Language is not only used as the means of communication, but also the device of achieving dominance. This article aims at describing and analyzing the real meaning of bharata and revealing misinterpretation on the meaning of bharata by Buton Kingdom for political dominance device on four surrounding kingdoms: Muna, Tiworo, Kaledupa, and Kulisusu in the 17th – 20th centuries. The study was designed descriptive qualitativey with four steps of framework: (1) exploring data, (2) data verification, (3) analysis, and (4) writing results of analysis. Data were analyzed by applying Wodak’s critical discourse analysis approach (CDA). Results of the analysis concluded the real meaning of bharata is “front area and center of battle”. The term of bharata was firstly acquainted by Laki Laponto, the king of Buton at the beginning of 16th century when he organized military alliance by involving the four surrounding kingdoms to face Ternate’s threaten. Since at the beginning of 17th century people of Butonese misinterpreted the meaning of bharata subjectively for political interest. Buton kingdom then established their misinterpretation instituonally and performed hegemony to the four surrounding kingdoms by the assistance of Dutch after welcoming and signing bilateral coalition with Dutch at the beginning of 17th century.
... Given their advantages in the overall data, they can be regarded as obligatory moves while the rest are optional ones. [19]. Thus, "Expressing Explicit Apologies" , "Restoring Events", and "Compensating for the Losses" draw the textual genre of corporate apology and convey the core information. ...
... In Figure 1.1, we can see the relationship between the language system and its context. According to Halliday (1985), the language system can be seen as a complex network of choices that have evolved to serve our needs. The context in which language is used interacts with the kinds of choices we make from the language system. ...
... Our study draws on complementary theories of language, learning and pedagogy, all of which recognise educational practice as deeply rooted in the socio-cultural world. With respect to language, systemic functional theory (Halliday & Hasan, 1986) posits a close relationship between language and its contexts of use. As such, language users make choices from a reservoir of meaning-making potential available in the culture according to the demands of the context and the individual's repertoire of resources. ...
This chapter investigates the dynamic life of ideas in online discussion by revisiting an earlier study and reflecting upon Alexander’s conceptualisation of dialogic teaching. The study sought to address the challenge of how to engage students in productive online discussion, which was motivated by our experiences of shifting from face-to-face to online modes of discussion in university courses. The co-construction of knowledge in online interactions was understood from the perspectives of systemic functional linguistics and sociocultural theory. Combining these frameworks allowed us to explore the dialogue from the broad perspective of teaching and learning as social activity, to close attention to the unfolding language choices. It also enabled us to consider the development of ideas over time. In this chapter we present strategies used to guide online discussion which show links to Alexander’s dialogic teaching principles. Our analysis of two discussion forums guided by these strategies identified practices and their attendant linguistic realizations, adding detail to Alexander’s construct of repertoire. This chapter also illustrated dialogic principles as they occurred in an online setting, and in so doing offers a translation of dialogic pedagogy to assist educators to design and deliver online learning in higher education.
... The third technique for inter-paragraph coherence is lexical cohesion, which refers to the use of consistent terms to achieve continuity in meaning [9]. Often writers have a few key terms they use repeatedly in a paper, and they may be tempted to spice up their prose by using synonyms. ...
Most of us pay attention to intra-paragraph coherence: the idea that the sentences within a paragraph should logically develop a single idea. But we forget, or we struggle to master inter-paragraph coherence: the idea that paragraphs should be arranged so that our argument develops logically. Proximity isn’t always enough to signal to readers how paragraphs are building on one another to create a compelling argument. Readers may still end up having to infer how one paragraph is linked to the next, and when they can’t make those inferences (or they make them incorrectly) coherence suffers. This Writer’s Craft offers techniques to enhance inter-paragraph coherence more consciously so that readers don’t fall through the cracks between our paragraphs.
... Esse contexto é focalizado, no presente trabalho, a partir do arcabouço teórico da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), que tem como base a Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional de Halliday (1994) e de Halliday e Matthiessen (2004, 2014 que alicerçam as análises neste estudo. Um dos princípios basilares dessa teoria é o de que contextos precedem textos, e textos possibilitam previsões sobre contextos (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 1985). ...
This work articulates language studies from a systemic-functional perspective to the context of Portuguese as a Host Language. The objective is to show, through the analysis of lexical-grammatical realizationsof the transitivity,speech functions and modalitymeanings that build the field and thetenor in portuguese teaching material as a Host Language.Based on the systemic-functional perspective of language (HALLIDAY, 1989; HALLIDAY; MATHIESSEN, 2014), the results showed that the information is concentrated in theboth fields documentation andlegislation. As for the tenor variable,there was a prevalence of statements and questions and the use of modality to soften commands.
... Konteks sosial adalah situasi atau kondisi yang berlaku pada saat teks diujarkan atau dimaksud konteks sosial meliputi tiga konteks di luar kebahasaan, yaitu: konteks situasi, konteks budaya, dan ideologi. Menurut Halliday (1999), konteks situasi mencakup tiga aspek, yaitu field, tenor, dan mode. ...
Lagu Bali merupakan salah satu bentuk hiburan Masyarakat Bali pada umumnya yang telah mengalami pasang surut dari tahun ke tahun karena kejenuhan masyarakat. Kejenuhan ini disebabkan oleh kemonotonan genre, peralatan musik yang mengiringi lagu, register bahasa, serta faktor kesamaan topik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji konteks sosial, konteks budaya dan ideoplogi yang terdapat pada sebuah lagu yang berjudul Just Wanna Say I Love you yang dinyanyikan oleh Leeyong Sunatra dari sudut pandang Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif fenomenologi, yaitu membedah lirik lagu yang tedapat dalam teks lagu tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa klausa yang digunakan di dalam lirik lagu adalah klausa-klausa elipsis dengan proses mental. Klausa-klausa tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penutur sangat gugup mengungkapkan perasaan cintanya kepada wanita yang sedang dicintainya. Selain itu, proses mental menunjukkan bahwa penutur berharap isi hatinya bisa didengar oleh wanita yang sedang dicintai.
... Therefore, language (text) and its inter-relation to social environments (context), decide the potential for users for interpretation. This process has been named the meaning potential of language (Halliday, 1978;Halliday & Hasan, 1986). Moreover, Halliday (1978) holds that language serves three general functions in communication. ...
En este trabajo se estudia la evolución del modelo pedagógico denominado clase inversa (CI), traducción del término flipped classroom en inglés, en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras en Asia oriental. El concepto fue propuesto en los Estados Unidos como una nueva estrategia de enseñanza en el entorno de la tecnología multimedia. Simplemente, el modelo metodológico de la clase inversa transfiere el proceso que tiene lugar en el aula tradicional fuera de ésta, al mismo tiempo que integra herramientas tecnológicas multimedia (Mazur, 1991; Lage, Platt, & Treglia, 2000; Bergmann & Sans, 2012). Sin embargo, este planteamiento a priori sencillo, implica un cambio profundo en la concepción del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, tanto a nivel particular para docentes y estudiantes en las aulas, como a nivel institucional para contar con la mentalidad e infraestructura necesarias (Zhai, 2010; Webb, Doman & Pusey, 2014).
La revisión sistemática presentada realiza una búsqueda entre más de mil artículos académicos escritos sobre la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras utilizando la base de datos CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) durante un período de siete años de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, de 2012 a 2019. No se han encontrado trabajos publicados sobre la CI para la enseñanza de lengua extranjera con anterioridad al año 2012 en esta base de datos. A través del método de análisis bibliográfico y del método de análisis de contenido, se analizan las características y tendencias de la investigación en el aula de lenguas extranjeras en Asia oriental. Este análisis se lleva a cabo en términos de diferentes idiomas extranjeros, distintas asignaturas de inglés, dada su presencia mayoritaria, y varios modelos de enseñanza. Los resultados son analizados simultáneamente desde tres perspectivas: valores y objetivos de la enseñanza, el enfoque adoptado en la investigación y la metodología de la CI.
... Na visão de Bakhtin (2003), os gêneros discursivos são tipos de enunciados relativamente estáveis, que são utilizados em situações reais de comunicação, com base em propósitos comunicativos. Seguindo uma perspectiva social, porém numa abordagem sócio-semiótica, a LSF compreende os gêneros discursivos a partir da noção de contexto cultural (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 1989;EGGINS, 1994;WHITE, 2005 Selecionamos o corpus da pesquisa a partir dos seguintes critérios: ...
O presente artigo investiga como homens e mulheres heterossexuais representam a si mesmos (as) e seus (suas) parceiros (as) projetados (as) em anúncios pessoais eletrônicos. Com base na Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional, foram explorados os processos mentais empregados nessas situações de interação. O corpusconsiste de 500 anúncios publicados no Viva Anúncios, um sitegratuito destinado a anúncios pessoais. A ferramenta Wordsmith foi aplicada para identificar os processos mentais mais frequentes e seus Fenômenos e orações projetadas. Os resultados revelam que o Fenômeno ou a oração projetada de um mesmo processo mental pode variar nos anúncios masculinos e femininos, evocando ideologias e representações sociais de sexualidade e gênero.

Using perspectives on language and language learning in Second Language Acquisition (SLA), including the traditional cognitive orientation, sociocultural theory orientation, and critical theoretical orientation as theoretical frameworks, this study critically analyzes 78 papers published from 2014 to 2020 in Chinese as a Second Language—The Journal of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, USA (CSL), a leading journal that is devoted exclusively to the study of Chinese language, culture, and pedagogy. This study investigates how the teaching and learning of Chinese language and culture has been conceptualized and enacted in the field of SLA and explores factors that contributed to frustration, dissatisfaction, or criticisms in this field (e.g., Lantolf and Genung, 2002; Li and Duff, 2008, 2018; Thorne, 2005). Additionally, this study raises awareness of the value of sociocultural and critical perspectives on language teaching and learning (e.g., Douglas Fir Group, 2016; Fairclough, 1992; Halliday and Hasan, 1985; New London Group, 1996; Vygotsky, 1978), suggesting more critical and sociocultural-oriented research to support learning Chinese as a world language in the context of globalization.
Resumo As chamadas "reformas" educacionais em vários países do Ocidente têm enfatizado políticas de mercado, fazendo com que estudantes atendam a um "perfil" intimamente ligado ao mercado de trabalho, seguindo uma lógica tecnicista e capitalista. Em um movimento cíclico, essas questões têm sido pauta da própria formação de professores, e, no que diz respeito ao papel das TICs nesse processo formativo, em virtude do olhar tecnicista e instrumental vigente, diversos equívocos vêm sendo verificados no processo pedagógico. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é estabelecer um arcabouço teórico e conceitual profundo acerca da integração entre TICs e formação docente, tendo o pensamento computacional como eixo articulador dos processos educacionais mediados pelas TICs, concebendo-as não por seu mero uso e sim como ferramentas cognitivas. Para tanto, realizamos uma análise teórica em artigos, dissertações e teses a partir do portal de periódicos da Capes e no software de gestão e compartilhamento de artigos Mendeley. 3 Resultados preliminares apontam para a necessidade de inserir, na formação docente, questões relacionadas não apenas "sobre" o uso das TICs, sob uma perspectiva instrumental, mas sim "com" esses instrumentos, tendo a concepção de ferramenta cognitiva como embasamento, algo já adotado em vários outros países. Palavras-chave: Formação de professores. TICs. Ferramentas cognitivas. Pensamento computacional.
The movie industry in India has a distinctive effect on their audience, which is rather unique when compared to the various influencing kinds of messages that are portrayed through different forms of media. Perceptual immediacy is often viewed in the audiences while they watch a movie or even when a spark is formed in their psyche just by the visuals that they see on a movie poster. And so, while creating a movie or even constructing a movie poster, the ability to make it relevant to the viewers is carefully considered by the creators of this medium. This paper aims to study whether Malayalam movie posters visually construct meaning and whether they can influence the financial success of a film. The sample for this research was three Malayalam movie posters: Pulimurugan, Kayamkulam Kochunni, and Lucifer. The methodological approach for this study was conducted by using Kress and van Leeuwen's visual social semiotic method.
nformation technology has basically been used under two different avenues in banking.
One is communication and connectivity and other is business process. Today, banks have
welcomed wireless and mobile technology into their boardroom to offer their customers the
freedom to pay bills, planning payments while stuck in traffic jams, to receive updates on
the various marketing efforts while present at a party to provide more personal and
intimate relationships. This paper examines consumer adoption of a new electronic
payment service as mobile banking and the factors influencing the adoption of mobile
banking in South Rajasthan. A sample size of 100 account holders with different banks was
taken for the study and random sampling method was used. Both primary & secondary
data’s were used for the study. Primary objective of this study is to-
To study the adoption of Mobile banking services by Customers in Southern
Rajasthan.
To identify factors influencing the Adoption and Usage of Mobile banking in South
Rajasthan.
The paper is based on Exploratory Research. This research is both quantitative and

indicate that consumers get disheartened by the complicated functions while accessing the
mobile banking services which lead them to the dissatisfaction level as no proper guidance
is to be provided to them. The fact is that the factor risk and security are the most
considerable significant factors for banking service adoption, and particularly in relation
to `new' electronic environment. The result indicate that consumers are serious about the
risk of conducting banking via a wireless channel, measured in terms of overall security
and trustworthiness of the services offered. However, because of various problems in m-

In this paper, we explore a strategy for teaching undergraduate American Sign Language/ English interpreting students about discourse types and genre boundaries. To do so, we describe a project-based learning approach employed with a cohort of second-year students , detail the assessment method, and analyze students' work. Specifically, the project required students to read a scholarly paper in the field of Interpreting Studies and create an American Sign Language video-recorded reformulation of the paper in a different discourse genre (e.g., a television news broadcast or a product infomercial). The findings indicate that, despite exhibiting a concerning lack of American Sign Language proficiency, students demonstrated remarkable creativity and critical thinking abilities. Students created video-recorded reformulations that incorporated salient points from their assigned articles while also applying principles of discourse analysis learned throughout the semester. Taken together, the findings suggest that applied discourse analysis projects and inter-genre reformulation activities can be used as a part of valuable pre-translation and translation training.
Ante la necesidad de generar condiciones teóricas y pragmáticas para el desarrollo de habilidades críticas, creativas e incluyentes que reviertan el pobre desempeño lectoescritural de los jóvenes estudiantes mexicanos, este artículo propone un acercamiento crítico a dicho problema mediante dos estrategias. Primero, a través del examen de los marcos epistémicos que ofrecen las metodologías horizontales y la teoría de la decolonialidad, en tanto perspectivas que desmontan las formas hegemónicas con que se ha generado y se enseña el conocimiento en occidente; segundo, mediante la revisión de elementos cognitivos, socioculturales y discursivo-textuales que dan sentido al aprendizaje de habilidades críticas, creativas e incluyentes mediante la lectoescritura. Se concluye que, para lograr una propuesta pedagógica en esos términos, es necesario incorporar al tenor crítico de las metodologías horizontales y de la decolonialidad, la reflexión sobre los contextos de aprendizaje del estudiante y los saberes que son parte del acervo experiencial y científico.
The novel coronavirus (SAR-COV-2) and its attendant respiratory disease, COVID-19, said to have originated in Wuhan, China in December, 2019 has become a global concern with far-reaching impact on all facets of human life. Its impact on the English language can be seen in the emergence of new forms of expressions, extension of the meaning of existing words and the resuscitation of hitherto not commonly used expressions. A number of these innovations and usages affect the English language generally, yet language use is context-bound revealing the cultural realities of its users and their environment so that language at all times exhaustively catalogues the things, events and processes in its environment of use (Carrol, 1966:102). This study adopts the Functionalist Approach to investigate the linguistic impact of COVID-19 discourse on the Nigerian variety of the English language using data from Nairaland , an online Nigerian forum. It establishes that COVID-19 pandemic has informed new Englishes in Nigerian English by way of morphemic coinages, phrasal restructuring, syntactic composition, semantic broadening, lexical resuscitation and acronymic coinages.
This research investigated the effect of Project-based learning on students’ speaking ability. This was a mix research, qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative was used to describe the implementation of the project based learning in Accounting Study Program students. The quantitative research used was a pre-experimental research with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design to find the effect of project based learning on the students’ speaking ability. There was a single sample, 35 students, of the population (1st to 4th semester Accounting Study Program Students of Universitas Potensi Utama). The qualitative data were collected by using interview, observation, and documentation. The quantitative data were collected by using tests, pre-test and post-test. Since this study was intended to find the effect of the Project-Based Learning toward students’ speaking ability, the quantitative data were analyzed statistically by paired sample t-test by using IBM SPSS 22 for Windows. The result of analysis showed that there was a significant effect of Project-Based Learning on the students’ speaking ability. It was an effective method in teaching speaking because it improves students’ speaking ability, build students’ team work skills, increase students’ problem solving skill, and stimulates students to be active, communicative, creative, and innovative. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to be applied in the teaching speaking.
This paper analyses part of the discourse of the ongoing independence debate between France and New Caledonia by combining Systemic Functional Linguistics and Pragma-Dialectics. It is shown how two politicians, as representatives of a more dominant social group, attempt to influence and change the social representations of the Kanak minority in order to obtain a preferred outcome by persuasively arguing their case through the use of both shared and inferred knowledge. It will become clear that tacit knowledge seems to be taken for granted by the French protagonists and that the negotiation process does not appear to constitute a cooperative dialogue. The paper aims to clarify this process in order to demonstrate how highly incongruent goals and values on both sides can create an intrinsic opposition. A quantitative systemic functional analysis is integrated as linguistic evidence into a qualitative Critical Discourse Analysis to reconstruct and critically evaluate the arguments of three political actors, as representatives of the most significant discourse communities involved in the debate: independence leader Jean-Marie Tjibaou, former French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin and nickel magnate Jacques Lafleur. Shared knowledge appears to be wielded as a rhetorical ploy by the latter two to achieve free association with France.
This study aimed to identify linguistic etiquette for serving food at manjau maju events by reviewing speech rules, such as what matters are discussed, how to talk about serving food, when it is someone’s turn to speak, when to be silent, what variety of languages are used, who the speaker is, and to whom the conversation was addressed. The study used a sociopragmatic approach. The results of the study show that to serve food (kekuk), the speaker must comply with the stages of speech, namely knowing the customary title (adok) their speech partner bears, asking permission to serve food, and inviting the speech partner to enjoy the food. In addition to the stages, the contents of the speech are also conveyed through linguistic elements that have signs of politeness and a variety of local people’s refined language. The speaker who asks permission to serve food is an unmarried man. Meanwhile, those who accept the conversation are women who can speak according to the rules of the local community and generally hold the old customary title (adok tuha). These findings complement the existing body of linguistic etiquette literature.
The role of cohesive ties in text is the topic of this paper. More specifically, this study focuses on the notion of cohesiveness and transitional indicators in literary texts. The paper argues that it is easier to understand literary texts if one pays attention to how the different parts of the language work together. When an author uses transitional cues to convey a particular notice, readers are effectively kept engaged. The reader plays a significant player in the game of literary writing process. Text cohesion analysis shows the way which a particular piece of information is read and interpreted. This study examines the utilization of grammatical cohesive ties in Charles Dickens's Great Expectations. Thus, Great Expectations is analysed in terms of its linguistic cohesion based on the model selected for this purpose which is Hallidy and Hasan's (1976/ 1985) model which has been proved to be a successful tool for literary discourse studies. The results indicate that there are skilful and powerful cohesive strategies employed in the novel by Dickens. In turn, this chiefly operates in the achievement of the novel as a whole and plays a vital role to its overall coherence.
The competent use of the specific language of school subjects is fundamental for successful learning and teaching in school. For a language-sensitive design of lessons and empirical foundation of didactic and methodical concepts, knowledge of how students read a text is needed as well as evidence-based knowledge of formal and functional aspects of subject-specific language.
A corpus analysis confirms that the passive is a prototypical construction in chemistry textbooks. Thus the competent handling of those sentences is a relevant aspect of subject-specific language competence. The verbs used in the passive sentences in books included in the corpus are predominantly morphologically complex, and can be indicated as chemistry-specific lexis, e.g. related to the sub-microscopic level. Furthermore, they are commonly used in conjunction with abstract agents. On the other hand, these verbs are also encountered to students in everyday (i.e. non-subject-specific) contexts but in these contexts they diverge semantically and are commonly used in conjunction with a human agent. Therefore, the function of the passive sentences differs: While passive sentences with a human agent allow an expression of anonymised actions, the passive sentences with abstract agents enable the verbalisation of abstract processes. The distribution of those functional distinction differs between school subjects and contexts. Abstract agents in passive sentences can support the maintenance of pre-instructional concepts of students, especially if the verbs are not obviously specific for the context of chemistry. Therefore, a specific language-education for school subjects is needed which includes the analysis of formal and functional aspects. The results of the corpus analysis can be used for context-based scaffolding in language-sensitive chemistry lessons.
Este artigo resultou de uma pesquisa de campo realizado em sala de aula, com quatro turmas do 2º segmento da EJA, em uma escola pública da Rede de Ensino do Distrito Federal no decorrer de um bimestre e meio, com o objetivo de mapear os gêneros textuais estudados nas aulas de língua portuguesa. Para o mapeamento, inventários, dos gêneros. Baseio-me no conceito de agrupamento de gêneros proposto por Schneuwly e Dolz (2004). Em seguida, proponho a abordagem de gênero na perspectiva da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF), na visão de Halliday e Hasan (1989), como uma prática pedagógica fundamental e capaz de capacitar os estudantes a produzirem textos mais eficazes e críticos (Cope & Kalantzis, 1999). Ao discutir as implicações pedagógicas sob o viés da LSF, busco focar, de forma explícita, os gêneros textuais no processo do letramento e revelar as relações existentes entre estruturas textuais e propósitos sociais em seus diferentes contextos de situação, pois só assim é possível empoderar o aluno para sua emancipação.
This research aims to analyze the eco-lexicon meanings contained in the conservation news texts published by mass media in Indonesia. The data sources are mass media found at www.unnes.ac.id, Suara Merdeka, and Kompas. The data are collected through listening, documentation, and interview techniques and analyzed using distributional and referential analysis techniques. The novelty of this study is the dimension of cultural meaning in the eco-collection of conservation news texts in the mass media in Indonesia. The findings of this study enrich the theory of Lindo and Bundsgaard in 2000 which stated that the dynamics and changes that occur at the lexicon level are influenced by three dimensions, namely ideological, sociological, and biological dimensions. Simply put, conservation news text needs to be utilized as teaching material by teachers and lecturers in language learning or other learning types in schools or universities to enrich the text genre and foster the value of love for the environment.
Sprachbildung hat einen emanzipatorischen Charakter. Matthias Sieberkrob arbeitet diesen Charakter für den Geschichtsunterricht im Sinne des historischen Erzählens mit Agency aus. Der Autor fokussiert die Professionalisierung von Geschichtslehrer*innen in diesem Bereich, wobei er studentische Planungsgespräche für sprachbildenden Geschichtsunterricht mit einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse untersucht. Die Ergebnisse offenbaren grundsätzliche Schwierigkeiten der Student*innen mit dieser Aufgabe. Daher entwickelt Sieberkrob ein Rahmenmodell sprachbildenden Geschichtsunterrichts, das auf die Förderung von Agency ausgerichtet und sowohl für die Professionalisierung von Geschichtslehrer*innen als auch für die Praxis des Geschichtsunterrichts relevant ist.
Using an emancipatory approach to historical learning, agency is emphasized as a goal for academic language learning in history classes. Furthermore, the professionalization of history teachers for academic language learning is examined. Planning conversations of history lessons that include academic language learning are analyzed empirically. The results show that students find it discernibly difficult to think of academic language and historical learning together. For this reason, a framework model of academic language learning with an emancipatory approach is developed. It is of importance for the professionalization of history teachers since it answers the fundamental question of how to implement academic language learning in history classes.
This paper is an excerpt from a thesis developed in the Postgraduate Program in Language Studies at the Federal Center for Technological Education of Minas Gerais. It aims to present the development of a teaching and research proposal based on gender pedagogy. Itwas supported by a functional perspective of language use. And also, It was considered that other modes of meaning need to be presented in the classroom, not just the verbal one. It is supported by the principle that all text is multimodal (Kress, 2010), that is, formed by more than one semiotic mode. As a methodology, participatory research was used. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews and field notes. As a result, it was noticed that the focus of the activity was beyond teachingthe language as a structure and allowed the development of other students' skills and knowledge. Difficulties were overcome and teach based on textual genres enables the use of language in real communication context.
In the editorial genre, conjunctions can play an essential role in argumentation. However, in its organization, other cohesive strategies also fulfill the function of linking the statements and providing guidance to the meaning of the text. This work explores how the thematic progression occurs in such a journalistic genre considering it a basic language expression unit. For this, it relies on the foundations of Functional Systemic Grammar (HALLIDAY, 1994) to identify the role of the thematic structure in the cohesive process. Thus, it intends not only to collaborate in the expansion of Systemic-Functional Linguistics knowledge but also in the development of Portuguese language teaching.
This research presents the stylistic investigation of the construction of the main character’s identity from Invisible Man. The corpus of analysis comprises the speeches of the book’s characters analyzed from the perspective of the Systemic-Functional Linguistics framework and its systems, related to the theme of identity in a text. The results indicate contracting resources, however, complementary to the voice in dialogue used by the homodiegetic narrator as a narrative subjective voice.
This article presents a study that aimed to describe and analyze how deconstruction and detailed reading, two phases of the Ler para Aprender program (ROSE; MARTIN, 2012), provided the analysis of the situational context variables and how collaborated for the exposition of points of view in opinion articles produced by a class of the 2nd grade of high school. The investigation in question was carried out in the light of the principles of action research, which took place in the context of the Programa de Residência Pedagógica / Núcleo de Língua Portuguesa andis anchored in the theoretical-methodological framework of Halliday's Systemic-Functional Linguistics, focusing more specifically on in the Sydney School's GenrePedagogy. For the development of the research, the students' textual productions (two copies of a universe of eighteen texts) and the responses to an interpretation activity designed with a view to exploring the variables of the situation context were analyzed. The analysisshowed that the stages of deconstruction and detailed reading provided the understanding of contextual variables (field, relationship and mode). Such understanding was crucial for the textual production to occur in the autonomous writing phase, having a direct impact on the lexical-grammatical and semantic-discursive choices of the students in the analyzed texts.
Language studies that deal with the pandemic context we live in are essential to understanding how activities have been performed/impacted. TakingSystemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL)as the basis,this research considers that language is influenced by the context of production and the expected goals. Thus, this study aims to map and understand which processes represent physicians' experiences when discussing their professional activities during the pandemic. The results confirm that participants most frequently used mental and relational processes to characterize the effects of the pandemic on their professional activities and interpersonal relationships.
Writing and the provision of feedback in English as a Second Language classrooms are crucial factors. Feedback provision is one of the productive approaches to improving learners’ writing performance in the ESL context. With the continuous evolution of technology, the methods of feedback have also varied and advanced. Even though teacher-written feedback is the most frequently used type of feedback, studies have discovered the use of teacher-written feedback is indecisive since the learners face difficulties in comprehending the teacher’s feedback. Therefore, there is a continuing dispute over the efficacy of teacher-written feedback. The present study addresses the dearth of research in the provision of video feedback for ESL writings in Sri Lanka and aims to contribute to the areas in which further research is needed. For this, an experimental quantitative research design was used. The empirical data for the study was gathered through the comparison of 20 participants’ multiple drafts of writing paragraphs over a five-week period and error analysis sheets were employed to track the errors in their writings. The results reveal that the participants in the experimental group incorporated higher levels of correction from two respective video feedback into their proceeding drafts than the participants in the control group who received two particular written feedback for two written texts during the study. The findings obtained from this study convey that video feedback is a pertinent practice in ESL writing. Hence, the requirement for more research to recognize cause and effect relationships of video feedback for writing is highlighted in the present study.

This study aims to uncover the types of mood and modality used in the Gettysburg Address and how Abraham Lincoln uses them to give dedication and emphasize the struggle to achieve union and equality. This study employed descriptive qualitative research design in analyzing the data. the data were collected from the text of the Gettysburg Address. After the data were collected, they were categorized into their proper interpersonal meaning elements classification. Then, the writer determined whether the data are in declarative mood, imperative mood, or interrogative mood, and revealed the type, orientation, and value of the modalities. Finally, the writer explained the mood and modality used by the speaker to give dedication and emphasize the struggle to achieve union and equality. The result shows that declarative mood occurs the most compared to the imperative mood. By using declarative mood, the speaker explains that they are struggling to win the war, they are going to give dedication for the fallen soldiers, and they are continuing their unfinished work to achieve union and equality. Meanwhile, the speaker uses imperative mood to command the listener that they must dedicate a portion of the aftermath field for their fallen soldiers who struggled to achieve union and equality. In using modality, the speaker positions their messages in the degree of Probability, Obligation, Inclination, and usuality. Most of them are in a high value and the rest are in median and low value.
Desenvolvido na área da Linguística Aplicada das Profissões (SARANGI, 2012), este trabalho investiga a construção identitária do professor coordenador de inglês, com base em elementos avaliativos. A arquitetura teórica fundamenta-se no conceito de identidade pelo viés de teorias socioconstrucionistas (BUCHOLTZ; HALL, 2003, 2005) em interface com os pressupostos do Sistema de Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005; VIAN JR., 2009, 2012). Os dados da pesquisa foram gerados por meio de entrevista de pesquisa qualitativa e os resultados sugerem que a (re)configuração identitária do professor coordenador, neste contexto, perpassa pelo uso de recursos semânticos avaliativos de afeto, julgamento e apreciação.
A popularização da ciência (PC) envolve um processo complexo de recontextualização, no qual o discurso científico, produzido por especialistas, é recontextualizado por jornalistas para uma audiência não especializada, em gêneros discursivos da mídia de massa. Pesquisas recentes têm apontado um efeito de monologismoem notícias de PC em português (MOTTA-ROTH; LOVATO, 2011 conforme MOIRAND, 2003) e inglês (MOTTA-ROTH; MARCUZZO, 2010), nas quais há um predomínio da voz da ciência e um apagamento de outras vozes possíveis como o governo ou o público, já identificados na mídia de PC francesa (BEACCO et al., 2002; MOIRAND, 2003). Com base em estudos prévios, o objetivo do presente artigo é apresentar uma análise engajamento discursivo e do jogo entre expansão e contração dialógica em 45 notícias de PC em inglês. Para tanto, consideramos os Sistemas de Transitividade e de Modalidade (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004) e o Sistema de Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005) da Linguística SistêmicoFuncional para a análise. Nossos resultados indicam que, apesar da maior recorrência de expoentes linguísticos que sugerem expansão dialógica por meio de reconhecimento, não há indicação clara de debate entre pontos de vista diferentes em nosso corpus, a não ser aqueles associados a especialistas/pesquisadores. Nesse sentido, o jornalista/autor da notícia contrai o espaço dialógico do discurso ao enfatizar a voz da ciência e, ao mesmo tempo, restringir a participação de outros setores da sociedade no debate em potencial sobre a pesquisa popularizada (MARCUZZO, 2011), reforçando, assim, a hegemonia da voz da ciência na mídia de massa.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar resultados de uma pesquisa desenvolvida na interface entre Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (LSF) e Estudos da Tradução com foco em Tipologia Textual baseada em contexto. A base teórica do trabalho está assentada na proposta de ‘Atividades Sociossemióticas’, representada graficamente na chamada Esfera de Atividades Sociossemióticas, de Matthiessen, Wu e Teruya (2007). Apresenta-se inicialmente uma coleta de dados (blogs) compilados em formato eletrônico e relativos às tipologias textuais nos contextos do português brasileiro (PB) e inglês americano (IA). A seguir, apresenta-se a classificação dos textos coletados nesses blogs com base nas ‘Atividades sociossemióticas’. Após a classificação sócio semiótica, uma análise de transitividade é realizada com vistas a explorar a relação entre a Tipologia Textual baseada em contexto e os padrões gramaticais do sistema de transitividade que realizam os diferentes tipos textuais. Por fim os resultados dessa análise são comparados para fins de identificar diferenças e semelhanças nas configurações texto-contextuais dos dois conjuntos de textos produzidos em ambos os idiomas. Os desdobramentos dessa comparação buscarão traçar um perfil ‘sociossemiótico’dos textos analisados, com vistas a fornecer um modelo de parâmetros textuais para formação de tradutores na dimensão bilíngue/ textual do desenvolvimento de suas competências.Palavras-chave: Estudos da tradução.
